Alright @YouTheReader, we’ll skip the whole intro paragraph and get to the point. Whatever is on your mind, sports, music, movies, shows, life, etc. There are so many of you die-hard fans of all things who know what you're talking about, so this Thursday spot could only help. I love Thursday's spot because in a way it’s a reset of the week in Week to Week Notes.
@YouTheReader your default setting for His or Her Words, Not Mine is a team/sport/topic “fan insider.” All you have to do is send over a resume, cover letter, a form of ID, and 3 references. If you wish to come up with your own @Name, I’ll run with that so that other @YouTheReaders could also start to get to know your style. Either way, I won’t tell no one your name. Unless you want your name on Week to Week Notes.
My Life As A Thread Influencer (Vol I)
7/7 ‘23
So what exactly is threads?
Right now it’s like old-school social media. Think like if Twitter just started and when nobody knew about Vine if they had a baby. You can only search usernames and no discover pages.
It’s part of Instagram or no?
To start an account you start through Instagram.
Interesting
So are you shredding through threads or what?
Sending your opinions out into the abyss?
I don’t think I understand what it is still lmao
Not really rn I’m just following anybody who follows this Taylor Swift fan account called Swiftie_Society (yes you read that correctly) because of what I threaded…
So you're an influencer basically?
Ah I’d say more thread-influencer adjacent
Yes adjacent indeed. So likes and replies are by random people? Or people u follow?
It’s mostly people that I followed and then they liked or followed back. They are no longer random. Fellow threaders are family.
This looks exactly like Twitter lmao
Everybody starts with such a low follow amount except for the big companies and meme pages. My thinking is just trying to get to 1k followers on this and then hopefully people think it’s cool to follow. It’s basically Twitter when it first started.
Okay I see you
Maybe I’ll hop on the wave eventually. This might bring me back to 2012 and I’ll never return. Might as well bring formspring back while we’re at it
It could be a week-long trend or it could be something else who knows lol but the way it’s connected with IG is smart.
Here are my other threads from this week…
Honest Take on Threads
They made it as simple as possible which I think might work. They don’t display a “Following” amount, just followers. This has to be by design which undoubtedly increases the number of “interactions” involved. In general, I think people are much more likely to follow an account the larger the account is, so hiding the following amount promotes more “interaction.” (Just my assertion, I’m not basing this off any studies.) Threads is still very new so who knows where it ends up. I’m purely looking at it from a Week to Week Notes perspective as another alternative way to grow while I’m sitting on my arse.
I’m definitely giving off Rat Race vibes which is why I’m doing a Critiquing The Critics on the film today, but in general, the thousands of strangers that I’ve followed seem to enjoy it and having fun. Thank you to the new @YouTheReaders who followed back! Lastly, I just want it Noted that this isn’t an advertisement for threads. I’m not going to advocate for more screen time and it’s just a simpler Twitter. I still get all my really important breaking news from the likes of Adam&Ian on Twitter and I don’t see that changing.
Alright, enough of the Meta Verse talk for today…
Now a quick advertisement from…

@TheBraveVigilanteWitness who sent me their eyewitness account, much appreciated as always! You never know what you’ll see when you’re doing the crossword puzzle in Bryant Park after a day’s work.
NY Yankees & Jets Talk
7/6 ‘23
I’m all in on Volpe leading off.
With it as well!
Oh God - Cash making a trade for a left fielder?
Sevy’s very bad again
It’s hard to watch. How is no one warming up in the bullpen? Are we just gonna punt this game?
He’s hurt or just not good. Either way bad.
Take him out of the game!
I think he can catch the ball too
Sad (but true)
Devi Garcia was supposed to be our Pedro Martinez. Now he looks as old as Pedro. I’m not sure we have the best guys evaluating or developing our young players?
I’m still pissed we did that bs thing with him and Happ in a playoff game. Boone should have been fired after that nonsense
Terrible
I feel like IKF has been pitching once every 10 days for the past 2 months lol
Yup. The fun has worn off
So embarrassing. And so was Sevy being pissed when Yanks didn’t want to rush him back.

They won’t put him on 40 man because they are afraid they will lose him but they won’t play him anyway. They make no sense and are annoying.
Ridiculous but not surprising at all
Mockery
He had a 7 ERA coming into tonight’s game
Imagine he said, “ as manager of the New York Yankees I would have thought we’d have a better roster but it is what it is”.

Already excited for next year (Yeesh!!)
Bring up the kids, Wells, 👽, Sweeney, Peraza, etc. DJLM should start on the bench. They won’t do it but they should also sign another bat to DH and treat Stanton like a platoon guy at this point.
Yup
Nah - let’s go with Franchy

Gleybor leads mlb 2nd baseman in errors?
Some guy on the Pirates at 2B that I’ve never heard of has more but not a good sign
Whoa!!
Wow
Probably won’t make much of a difference but I’m fine with it
They have to do something. Hopefully first step.
