Intelligent men are beautiful creatures 😊
@georgetakei Don't blame them I'd refuse it too.
@georgetakei I'm a Detroit Red Wings fan and even though I know Dylan Larkin, the Red Wings Captain, didn't attend the SOTU, I KNOW he DID meet with tRump at the White House & ate cold, stale hamburgers with his MAGA buddies. Pretty sure the only reason he wasn't at the SOTU is because the Red Wings Organization sent their jet to D.C. to get him back to Detroit!

@georgetakei The article could be even better with a fully informative, non-clickbait headline.

Bad: "People Are Applauding The Five Members Of The Men's Hockey Team Who Declined Trump's Invitation—And Most Have One Important Thing In Common"

Translation: "We know something you don't!! You'll have to click through and keep reading to find out!"

If it's information that fits in the headline, better to go ahead and SAY IT. For example:

"People Are Applauding the Five Members of the Men's Hockey Team Who Declined Trump's Invitation—Most of Them are from Minnesota"

Far more respectful to readers! We'll click through for background and details and the whole juicy story.

Similarly, these Mastodon posts pointing to Comic Sands articles would be much better with a summary, or even just the full title -- much more info than the few words in the URL.
