Dodgers fans open hearts, wallets to Toronto pediatric hospital

quote [ Tensions ran high in this year’s World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays. But the fiercely contested matchup has given way to a show of respect that has connected fans across borders and raised money for a good cause.

Donations totaling nearly $30,000 to SickKids, a pediatric hospital in Toronto, have flooded in from Dodgers fans since Los Angeles edged the Blue Jays

Calls for donations surfaced on the Dodgers’ Reddit page shortly after the club's Game 7 triumph over Toronto, inspired in part by the contributions Blue Jays fans made to Seattle Children’s Hospital following the Jays' American League Championship Series win over the Mariners. ]

Map of a rabbithole

quote [ increasingly I feel like we’re losing the will (and the means) to go exploring online. I decided to map just one of my recent rabbitholes, which started with a viral tiktok, and wound up weeks later at the end of a journey through power, gender, belief, and the economics of the internet. ]

That was interesting. Sorry for linking to PDFs, but it's about cults and marketing, neat personal research story.
