Remembered my computer password on the first try after a 2-week break. Maybe it's early, but I'm calling today a win.

It's a testament to the professionalism of my colleagues that I often end emails with, "Please let me know what you think" and not once has anybody replied, "I think you're an asshole."

Yet....

The remarkable part to me is that people actually respond to those texts.
The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

I was offline for a couple days and have no idea why everybody is talking about tacos. At this point I don't want to look it up because it's been hilarious and knowing more might ruin the fun.
