The Weekly Click

Hello internet stranger,

Welcome to The Weekly Click, a weekly (shocking, I know) updated list of interesting bits on the internet that I thought I’d share.

Happy clicking!

Of Course America Fell for Liquid Death

How is a company that sells canned water worth $1.4 billion?

Scott Van Pelt, And Every Other Shithead, Is Missing The Point About Paying College Athletes

Scott Van Pelt is a net good. As just about the only classic SportsCenter anchor still hanging around Bristol, Van Pelt is a living throwback to ESPN’s snarky ’90s heyday, and he’s remained a gifted broadcaster in his own right as his network has cycled through scores of on-air talent around him.

Welcome To The Christopher Nolan Era

Sunday marked the 96th annual Academy Awards, a show that provided solid entertainment in place of any actual spectacle—that is, unless you were just super pumped after watching Ryan Gosling perform “I’m Just Ken”

From Disney+ to Max, Here Are the Best Streaming Services

Sites like Netflix and HBO Max are more expensive than ever. It's time to cut down your subscriptions based on what you want to watch.

The Case Against Trump

You wouldn’t think we would need to make a case against the worst president ever to hold the office, but here we are

Linky Goodness

The Mystery Of The James Bond Chord. Ryan Gosling was easily the highlight of the Academy Awards with his live performance of “I’m Just Ken,” alongside Slash, Wolfie Van Halen, Mark Ronson, and a bunch of other Kens. Also, “Isn’t it past your jailtime?” Four years ago, the world began to shut down. The Squatters of Beverly Hills. A brief history of coffee as medicine. Billie Jean's Got Another Thing Comin'. The Beatles catalog as punk songs. How to accomplish far more while working less. I love videos of bands in the studio: The Who with a take of “Who Are You?” A definitive ranking of Girl Scout cookies. We are less than a month away from the total solar eclipse on April 8. Last but not least: “When it comes to loneliness, the decline in sex and our increasingly depressed culture, phones are an obvious culprit.”

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.

This week, the temperatures are rising and the sun is shining. I urge you to step outside and soak it in for five precious minutes. Amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to forget the importance of taking a moment for ourselves. So, please, do what you can to nurture your own well-being. Take care of yourself, and I eagerly await our reunion next week.

Be seeing you.
