Copy chief at The Ringer. It’s cool to root for more than one baseball team.
Great late-night listen.

Don’t screw yourself. Read the entire thing. Makes me rethink my own very cynical take on fandom. Root like Tyler.

I just miss the cut for being a millennial but I voted in our Millennial Canon Bracket anyway. IS THAT VOTER FRAUD? Check out the bracket and decide whether to report me to the authorities. (Also student loan debt vs. ‘Glee.’)

The Millennial Canon Bracket
Twenty-five years into the 21st century, the millennials’ heyday is in the books. Now it’s time to determine which person, place, event, or even behavioral tic best encapsulates the generation.

The 100 Best Sports Moments of the Quarter Century - The Ringer
Since the calendar turned from 1999 to 2000 and none of us succumbed to the great machine uprising of Y2K, there have been 60,096 games played in Major League Baseball, 32,579 in the NBA, 31,377 in the NHL, 6,758 in the NFL, and 5,884 in the WNBA. That is a lot of sports in 25-plus years, a total of 136,694 games, which doesn’t even take into account college sports, all of the Olympics, the tennis matches, the rounds of golf, and the myriad other ways to behold athletic competition. You’d be forgiven if it all blended together.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails.

Yuca’s was the first iconic Los Angeles food I ate when I moved here 20 years ago. The images are crystalline in my head: the sign, the communal table, the afternoon sun slanting in through the hut, and Mama’s looping cursive on a brown paper bag.
