This week Alfonso Cuarón’s Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN celebrated its 25th anniversary. 5 years ago, when it turned 20, I interviewed some of the key artists behind it for NYT. It’s one of the pieces I’m most proud of. Link below.

NPR lost a lot of talented journalists in its latest round of layoffs/buyouts, including Maria, who is great. Hire her!!

Tomorrow is the last day to vote in the CA primaries, I really want to encourage everyone to either drop your ballot off or to please vote in person! It took me 20 minutes.

The 18-29yr old bracket is abysmal at 5% turnout statewide, we need every one to show up!

[Simone @girlpowertbh]

Polls are open in CA tomorrow from 7 AM to 8 PM!!! Find your polling place in the replies.

🧵Hollywood Execs Took a 51% Raise in 2025

Our @thewrap analysis of Hollywood exec salaries came out today, and it’s a doozy: the top 18 execs got 51% raises in 2025, even as the industry lost 17,000 jobs.

[Bobby Allyn @BobbyAllyn]

Nearly 30 journalists gone from NPR’s newsroom in a mix of buyouts/layoffs attributable to public media’s defunding and the ever-tightening squeeze so much of the industry is under these days. Really stings, so many talented journalists cut loose.
