Does this sound like the prototypical clickbait headline title, or what do you say?

I gotcha, I was just thinking how Patreon has been vital for nurturing a vast digital ecosystem of content creators who are in it as a labor of love.

EDIT: typo

The same goes for a lot of YouTube channels.
In fact, I opened a Patreon account just to show a little monthly support for an excellent, criminally underrated creator of videos on astronomy and its’ history, ParallaxNick.

Among other topics, the guy recently finished a four-part series on Galileo, a two-parter on Kepler before that, a single on Copernicus before that. By my calculations, I’m guessing a six-part masterpiece on Newton is right around the corner.

“We need ten painters to train as astronauts.”
“Why not get ten astronauts, then train them to use paint?”
“How about you shut the fuck up instead?”

And pitchers don’t bat anymore in the National League.

…so please don’t call them Twinkies!

Sounds exactly like something that happens to the Angels. Or Mariners or Mets.

Then the idiot owner - “the king of highway billboards” I’m told - doubled down on having two superstars surrounded by replacement-level players, which will never get the team anywhere important but it does fill a few seats on a day-to-day basis. Well… both superstars are out of the picture. Now what do you do?

Trout may never get a World Series ring, but at least the weather’s nice in his home stadium. And LA has a bunch of daily direct flights to Tokyo for Ohtani and from Tokyo - maybe probably also Osaka - for his fans, with no layover hassles to deal with. Quality of life for both, in details unrelated to the ballfield.

What the hell?!! Just this morning I told a bit about Mitnick’s story to my sister and my wife, separately, I’d never done that before with either. I haven’t talked about Mitnick with anyone in years. Until just this morning, and now 12 hours later, this.

Rest In Piece, Kevin. You have been in my thoughts today, as a living memory. I am glad to have bid you farewell in such a manner.
