We don’t need awareness. People are aware autism exists. We need ACCEPTANCE. April is Autism Acceptance month so here’s a thread of little things to help everyone gain some understanding into the minds of our friends with autism :)
not to be dramatic but if aj hinch fucks this season up and we don’t make it to the world series (as long as everyone stays healthy) i simply never think i will live long enough to see the tigers win a world series. we fumbled in 2015, let’s actually do the damn thing this year
Joe: I’m not running for governor of California.
Nick: That’s a rumor that exists?
Joe: No. But I’m going to start it and debunk it.
I love Joseph so much. 😂
one thing i severely underestimated is having to reorganize a new vanity when you were used to the set up of your old one for so long. this shit is damn near impossible
if i became president the first thing i would do is make it illegal for mini vans and semi trucks to be driving while i am bc why the fuck are you going so slow, i have places to be
It’s crazy how quickly things can change in baseball.
Trailing 9-7, down to their last strike. Less than 90 seconds later?
Tigers walk off the Royals, 10-9.
A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him.
For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25.
Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely.
Here's where it gets interesting.
In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past.
Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him.
Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it.
Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube.
He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium.
Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius.
They're both wrong. It was a receipt.
He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.
The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.
During Miguel Cabrera’s final game, his parents both threw ceremonial first pitches to him 🥹⚾️
I was at Comerica Park for this game and it was genuinely the most emotional game I’ve ever attended.
We miss you, Miggy ❤️
