The Weekly Click

Hello internet stranger,

Why galaxies come in a mix of shapes. A list of sports teams named after technology. “Your Forgiveness” by Paul Simon.

The Weekly Click has been beamed to you via Beehiiv. Thanks for reading. If you like this potpourri of internet mélange and want to support it, forward it to someone who might like it, buy my books, or at the very least, let me know what you think.

That’s it for this week. Let's all take a breather, shall we? Seriously, stressing out won't do us any favors. I miss the steaks at Dave and Buster’s, too. So, how about we all just take a moment to relax? Close your eyes if you need to, take a quick break. Trust me, it works wonders.

Be seeing you.
