Titans of sports broadcasting like Red Barber & Vin Scully were older than the media that made them famous (radio and tv, respectively)
John’s right, the jobs never open up, you just carve out your own niche in new spaces and hope you’re good enough to make a career there
Hi, someone in sports media here 👋
Jobs never open up, bc ppl in them all wanna die w/ their boots on. At best it’s tolerated, at worst, it’s celebrated. “Isn’t it amazing *insert name* is still calling games at 87?” No. You took the job away from at least 2 generations.

Alexander Hamilton awakens in 2026.
AH: What wonders has humanity achieved?
Random person: We walked on the moon, eradicated smallpox, split the atom, built flying machines, and can communicate instantly around the world.
AH: Extraordinary! And how’s my newspaper doing?

Baby boomers are just as bad. Multiple radio stations this weekend were plugging a new Beatles “super deluxe” release of Rubber Soul, an album that came out when the median baby boomer was 10 years old
I’m not a millennial, but I’ve always found this interesting.
A lot of millennials seem unusually attached to childhood nostalgia well into adulthood. Not just remembering it fondly, but actively revisiting it, recreating it, and sometimes even trying to experience things they feel they missed growing up.
From cartoons and video games to fandoms, toys, collectibles, and childhood franchises, nostalgia seems to play a much bigger role in millennial culture than it does for Gen Z or older generations.
Maybe it’s because they grew up during the transition from an analog world to a digital one. Maybe it’s because childhood felt more optimistic before social media, smartphones, and constant online pressure became the norm.
I don't necessarily think it's cringe. If anything, it's a fascinating generational trait.
But it does make me wonder:
Why do millennials seem so much more interested in reliving childhood than the generations before or after them?

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I've been on my own
Ever since I was ten

My high school was probably half immigrants and first generation Americans (if not more) and kids still had fun and goofed off in the hallways and in class, this post is delusional
To everyone saying “look what phones did to us”:
You are completely ignoring the equally if not more powerful effect that mass immigration had on social cohesion
It completely destroyed our ability to have monoculture.

Brilliant piece in The New York Times.
Cannabis is legal — but who gets to profit off of it now?
Hudson, New York is now booming — do the long time residents deserve to get a piece of the pie?
Race, justice and a side of marijuana.
