The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. 

Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. 

...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

part of what got south korea out under the thumb of authoritarian dictatorships and to real elections (1987) and free and fair ones (1992) were large, mass protests and demonstrations. which is such an anodyne way of describing what happened. it makes it sound bloodless. it wasn't.

A lot of #DragonAgeTheVeilguard conversations on the companions have focused heavily on them as romances. In today’s video, I look at how they can also be good friends and what unique perspectives they bring to a friendship with Rook youtu.be/QY_OXYcszH0?... Reposts are much appreciated 🙏🏾

i really and truly believe that elite imperviousness to the law drives most of this, chris hayes was writing about it over a decade ago and it’s only gotten worse since. letting the suits avoid prison has been a disaster.

Changing Jamelle Bouie’s column headline from a clear-eyed explanation of what animates Vance’s racism to a mealy-mouthed suggestion that Vance be less racist is, even by NYT opinion desk standards, abject cowardice
Original headline “Jd Vance’s blood and soul nationalism finds its target”New headline “shouldn’t JD Vance represent all of Ohio?”

trump committed endless crimes before, during, and after his presidency, and every single institution with even the slightest smidge of responsibility for seeing that the laws are upheld or otherwise opposing him have said to the people in a nearly singular voice: "this is your problem, not ours"

127,000 calls to get 1,059 respondents. These polls are sampling exclusively from people in the 99th percentile of the category “answers spam calls and then stays on the line once it’s abundantly clear it’s a survey firm” and man, if you think that’s a representative demographic…

This is what finally got me to cancel my subscription. I'm not sure if the @nytimes.com leadership is genuinely authoritarian or just so lost in its navel-gazing it can't see what it's doing, but I *do* know this: Whoever wrote this editorial is an idiot & I'm not paying to hear this shit anymore.
