Liga MX’s fans are one of its biggest strengths. The passion supporters on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. border have for their clubs is helping to spur the growth of Liga MX and Major League Soccer. While the quality of Liga MX remains high compared to its rivals in the region, one of the biggest draws is enjoying a match in a stadium as vibrant and fun… ncG1vNJzZmiflamwsLrCmpqanpWZe7TBwayrmpubY7CwuY6pZrCgkal6p63NrGSdp5Woeq21xppkprBdrK6vwA%3D%3D

Gamma has become one of my favorite new creativity tools. You can use it like Powerpoint or Google Slides, adding text and images to make impactful presentations. It lets you create vertical, square or horizontal slides. You can embed online content to make your deck stand out with videos, data or graphics. You can even use it to make quick websites. Its best feature, though, is an easy-to-use application of AI.

What if he did it? That’s the question that was on everyone’s mind when Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez announced his romantic return to Chivas de Guadalajara, the team where he grew into the forward who would score goals in Manchester, Madrid and beyond.

I think a big part of why I'm not excited by the fashion on AJLT is because I was so used to the Patricia Fields fashion of SATC, which was just always incredible — sure, sometimes it was ugly, but it was never not fun to look at.

This confirmed what has clearly been building in recent episodes: that misery would be on the menu, because happiness does not a third season make. “We are delighted to share that since the launch of season two, ‘And Just Like That…’ ranks as the #1 Max Original overall, and is the most-watched returning Max Original to date,” said Sarah Aubrey, who runs original content for Max.

I first saw Asteroid City the week it came out, while I was still trying to figure out what this newsletter should be. I meant to review it and I thought that meant seeing it as soon as possible. I tried to squeeze it into regular weeknight rotation, after putting a toddler to bed and a few drinks at dinner. That didn’t work out so well. I felt sleepy and disassociated, left wondering whether my failure to lose myself in the movie was my fault or the movie’s.

Along with Mayor Johnson’s budget, perhaps the most prominent fiscal issue coming up this month has been his Bring Chicago Home proposal. It’s been a popular idea among progressive activists in Chicago for some time, and City Council has now voted to send the measure to a binding ballot referendum in March. Some context: Chicago currently has a real estate transfer tax of 0.75% on all properties.
