TODAY'S COMIC: Crabby
PANEL 1: A red-orange crab stands on sand with a blue sky behind him. Next to him is a paper coffee cup with lid and a brown sleeve.
CRAB: Before Coffee: Crabby.

PANEL 2: The same scene.
CRAB: After coffee: STILL CRABBY.

PANEL 3: The same scene, the crab stares at the viewer.

PANEL 4: The crab turns to the side, thoughtfully.
CRAB: …but better able to articulate why.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

"Its crucial medical care ratio fell to 86.7% from 89.4% year-over-year..." This means they only spent $86.70 covering medical care for every $100 you paid them. By avoiding paying for medical care, they can rake in ~$24B in profits. What the hell are we doing here? 😕

The business model of spam fundraising depends on hooking a group of elderly donors who give at a disturbing frequency, summing to sizable amounts. Most of them don't appear especially wealthy. I've compiled a handful of these cases. There are thousands of cases like these in the FEC data. 🧵
A data graphic detailing recurring political donations by a 79-year-old Kansas resident charged 45,331 times since 2018 for a total of $153,856. The top timeline chart shows daily donation frequency from November 2019 through December 2020, highlighting a sharp increase leading up to the 2020 election that peaked at 352 charges in a single day. The bottom horizontal bar chart lists the top 12 recipient committees out of 485 total—led by the Congressional Black Caucus PAC ($7,521 across 2,250 charges), NDTC, and Stop Republicans—noting that the 10 largest recipients represent only 24% of all contributions, with the remainder dispersed across hundreds of PACs, party committees, and candidates.
