En 1913, José Guadalupe Posada tenía 60 años y lo encontraron muerto en un cuarto de Tepito, en Ciudad de México, solo y sin dinero. Su mujer y su hijo habían muerto antes que él.
Había nacido en Aguascalientes el 2 de febrero de 1852 y aprendió a grabar en el taller de Trinidad Pedroso. En la capital llenó periódicos y hojas sueltas de calaveras que bebían pulque, bailaban, montaban a caballo y se reían de los ricos y de los políticos. Trabajó sin parar toda su vida y murió tan pobre como había nacido.
El acta de defunción la firmaron tres hombres, y dos de ellos no sabían escribir. Una investigadora lo resumió así: «Solo y sin dinero, se le enterró en una tumba de 6ª categoría». Siete años después, como nadie reclamó sus restos, acabaron en la fosa común del Panteón de Dolores. Hoy nadie sabe dónde están.
En 1912 había grabado una calavera de mujer con un sombrero lleno de adornos, para burlarse de quienes renegaban de sus raíces. La llamó Calavera Garbancera y nunca la vio impresa: salió en noviembre de 1913, meses después de su muerte.
En 1947, Diego Rivera la pintó vestida en su mural de la Alameda Central y le dio el nombre que hoy conoce todo el mundo: la Catrina.
A mí lo que más me impresiona es que el hombre al que nadie fue a buscar inventó la cara con la que México recibe a sus muertos.
Estos días se ponen las ofrendas, y en muchas estará ella.

¡Imponente y espectacular! 💀🏵️🇲🇽
La monumental Catrina que se ha robado las miradas en el Zócalo capitalino es una verdadera obra de arte.
Y es que basta ver estas imágenes para admirar la belleza, el color y la riqueza de nuestras tradiciones.
¡Qué hermoso luce el corazón de nuestra #CDMX celebrando el #DíaDeMuertos! ❤️

Si en aquellas horas del 88 el ingeniero Cárdenas hubiese coqueteado con la violencia para defender su triunfo, el país se habría incendiado y, en vez de conquistar la democracia, los bastiones del autoritarismo se habrían endurecido.

In 1992, current Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy found himself seated next to Muhammad Ali.
So he asked him: "Where did all the bragging come from? Were you always like that?"
Ali leaned over and said quietly:
"I was scared to death."
Three decades later, Murphy just led the Milwaukee Brewers to a World Series championship.
That Ali quote stuck with him, he realized:
"We all are (scared). Who we kidding. Fear is part of it. If you learn to use it like fire, it can do a lot of great things. If you don't, it can burn your house down."
Too often, we walk around with this idea that the best performers aren't scared. That they are relentless, alphas, who bulldoze through whatever they're feeling.
It's BS. The greatest of all time felt fear. We all do. The point is how do we navigate and channel it. Feeling fear and knowing what to do with it are different things.
For much of his early career he coached the other way entirely: hard, blunt, and, by his own account, driven by his focus on himself. He had real success with it, until he was forced to resign as a college coach in 2009.
Then he went through a litany of minor league jobs.
Along the way, with help from journaling and counseling he started to fundamentally change how he coached. One of the catalysts was becoming a parent.
"And I started thinking about it like, every kid I coach is somebody's Kai Joseph. You know what I mean? Every kid I coach, they have parents who love their kid the way I love my kid...
Wow, I've got to be a little mindful how I treat these guys."
He eventually landed on a different definition of success:
"This profession isn't about the wins and losses. This profession is about, how do I impact this person?"
You can see that switch in how he's guided the Brewers to become the best team in baseball. It was there when he didn't go to his closer in a save opportunity, as Trevor Megill said, "We’re not here for egos, we’re here to win a ring.”
It's there in his coaching philosophy for the team: He calls it love and discipline. In that order...not too dissimilar from how you parent...
The Brewers are the World Series Champions.
They did it with a closer who checked his ego, a first baseman nearly retired but returned for health insurance, and a manager who had to let go of the way that led him to early success and rebuild how he coached.
In the actual arena, performance is messy. It's not the cheap slogans we're sold online.
We're all afraid, even the greats. You have to figure out how to direct it. You have to care, but not so much that it feels life and death. You need discipline, but it's got to be founded on love.
And sometimes you need a 67 year old coach who was a tyrant, let go, and had to find a new path...to lead a small market team to the top of the MLB.

RULFO: Maestro, soy yo, Rulfo. Qué bueno que ya llegó. Usted sabe cómo lo estimamos y lo admiramos.
BORGES: Finalmente, Rulfo. Ya no puedo ver a un país, pero lo puedo escuchar. Y escucho tanta amabilidad. Ya había olvidado la verdadera dimensión de esta gran costumbre. Pero no me llame Borges y menos «maestro», dígame Jorge Luis.
RULFO: Qué amable. Usted dígame entonces Juan.
BORGES: Le voy a ser sincero. Me gusta más Juan que Jorge Luis, con sus cuatro letras tan breves y tan definitivas. La brevedad ha sido siempre una de mis predilecciones.
RULFO: No, eso sí que no. Juan, cualquiera, pero Jorge Luis, sólo Borges.
BORGES: Usted tan atento como siempre. Dígame, ¿cómo ha estado últimamente?
RULFO: ¿Yo? Pues muriéndome, muriéndome por ahí.
BORGES: Entonces no le ha ido tan mal.
RULFO: ¿Cómo así?
BORGES: Imagínese, don Juan, lo desdichado que seríamos si fuéramos inmortales.
RULFO: Sí, verdad. Después anda uno por ahí muerto haciendo como si estuviera uno vivo.
BORGES: Le voy a confesar un secreto. Mi abuelo, el general, decía que no se llamaba Borges, que su nombre verdadero era otro, secreto. Sospecho que se llamaba Pedro Páramo. Yo entonces soy una reedición de lo que usted escribió sobre los de Comala.
RULFO: Así ya me puedo morir en serio.

A 22 year old won a playoff game today with one swing in the ninth inning.
He signed for 82 million dollars before he had ever played a Major League game.
When he calls his father, they go through every single at bat.
His name is Jackson Chourio.
Today the Milwaukee Brewers were losing 3 to 2 to the San Diego Padres in Game 2 of the National League Division Series, down to their last outs at home.
Chourio hit a two run single. The tying run and the winning run, on one swing. Brewers 4, Padres 3.
Now look at the whole series.
Chourio has exactly two hits in it.
Game 1, a two run home run. The Brewers won 3 to 2.
Today, a two run single. The Brewers won 4 to 3.
Two hits. Four runs batted in. Two wins. Milwaukee leads the series 2 to 0, and the entire team hit .156 today and still won.
Here is where he comes from.
Maracaibo, Venezuela. When he was four years old a coach spotted him at an Aguilas de Zulia game and told his mother to put the boy in baseball.
His father is also named Jackson. He played, and he is the reason any of this happened.
"My dad is a very big baseball fan. I would always go to his games when he played and since I was a little he would always pitch to me. He would throw the ball so I could hit it."
His father taught him and his younger brother Jaison the fundamentals and coached them both growing up. Jaison is now an outfield prospect in the Cleveland Guardians system.
The Brewers signed Jackson at 16 for 1.8 million dollars.
Then in December of 2023, before he had taken a single Major League at bat, they gave him eight years and 82 million. It is the largest contract in baseball history for a player with no big league service time.
He debuted the next spring at 20 years old.
And here is what he said about his father, after all of it.
"Every time I call my dad, we have a really good conversation about every single at bat."
One more thing about him.
Two earthquakes hit Venezuela in late June. On the 29th, Chourio and teammate William Contreras set up a relief drive at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Milwaukee, working with Forward Latino and the mayor's office. Christian Yelich came. So did Brice Turang, Sal Frelick and Abner Uribe. They packed food, water and emergency supplies to ship home.
"Today was a first step," Chourio said. "We're going to keep pushing to help as much as we can."
Be honest about the size of today. He is 2 for 9 in this series. Two swings is not a body of work, and 82 million dollars is still a bet the Brewers are waiting to cash.
But a man in Maracaibo used to throw a ball to his little boy so the boy could hit it.
Today the boy hit one in the ninth inning of a playoff game.
And by his own account, they are going to talk about it.
