I shouldn't be reinforcing behaviour that I don't to see more of of. I have this same issue with my 3-year old.

Too sick to go to work but well enough to shit-post. Gotcha.

I mean, was writing "Yesterday" that big an achievement? If Paul McCartney dreamed the melody, as he reports, seems like it might have been part of the collective unconscious in some way. Hell, you could have written it if you'd got your shit together.

I don't know if that's a good comparison, Jonathan. Boomers succeeding is kind of like playing tennis with the net down - it was easier back then. Or, in other words, you're very old.

It's hard to tell. I just get one annual statement so I can't see whether there are spikes and when they happen. My viral tweet, for example - I assume that helped sales but I don't know how much.

Do you watch the Canadian version? The judges are lovely. Never anything but enthusiastic and constructive.
