Some news: I’m sorry to say my last day @WSJ was Monday. To our listeners: I want to sincerely thank all of you for lending us your ears, making us a part of your routine, and holding us accountable. It is a privilege I have always valued, and never taken for granted.

We buried my grandma yesterday at Calvary Cemetery in East LA, so I made sure to visit the grave of Jose Diaz, whose murder on August 2, 1942 led to the Sleepy Lagoon trial. The flowers are from one of the many bouquets my grandma got—didn’t see any others for Jose…

Is there an industry I can pivot to next that won’t implode in the exact same way the two industries I’ve tried so far have

I was one of the 21 folks laid off from @LAist today. After 15 years in public media, it's definitely a shock. I'll be all right, but if you hear about opportunities that seem like a good fit for a journalist/writer like myself, please hit me up. Pulling for my colleagues. ❤️
Ross Brenneman@itsapun

The axe comes for @LAist too. Twenty-one layoffs. I'm sad for all the colleagues I'm losing. I'm sad for journalism. A frustrating, unhappy day. laist.com/news/scpr-to-c…

@GustavoArellano Still … processing! Guess you got to live in the moment since the quicksand — especially in media — is always shifting around us. But man, this one is a tough pill to swallow.

Abbie believed enough in me to do two LA Times podcasts and host what became our daily podcast. She was always upfront about EVERYTHING to us, good and bad. To see what she, producers, and engineers created allowed to be so blithely obliterated is…ni puedo decir

We build podcast units, then we taketh them away. Keeping all the talented audio producers I hired and worked with @latimes who were given layoff notices today high up in my thoughts. ❤️

I'm one of the 70+ people who received a layoff notice. It happened a day after wrapping Foretold, a project I've been helping to write, report, edit + mix for over a year. Every single audio producer + all but one of our engineers was affected by the proposed cuts. I am livid.

L.A. Times management’s decision to blindside the Guild with proposed layoffs as it neglects bargaining sends a clear message: You don’t care about the contract — or us. 🚨Our open letter to management🚨 latguild.com/news/open-lett…

This ep was my baby & I’m a really proud mama. Sound designer extraordinaire @quietguynoises does sublime work here; I truly lost my mind when @tnwhiskeywoman aptly penned the sound of P’s “Joy & Repetition” guitar solo as “the sex fallen angels would have” EXPERIENCE THE FUNK 🎸
Hannis Brown@quietguynoises

The first 5 min of this FUNK episode of The Prince Mixtape I think has the best scoring/sound design I've ever really done. So proud of this thing made with @tnwhiskeywoman @pineapplemedia @CNN @xcusemybeauty @beandreadotcom @finkelbaripie podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not…

Thank you @aaja! A nice but bitter reminder. I think I did some of the most ambitious work of my career in those last couple of years at @BuzzFeedNews. Here’s to the next one! 🍻

@dearabbie THANK YOU. It was honestly so refreshing (and yes, unusual) to feel empowered to just totally run with ideas.
