For some reason today’s Wonkette was the straw that broke this stubborn camel’s back. I’m now a paid subscriber. Love these folks.

Ah yes, clickbaiting your audience to drive up that... ad... traff- Now wait just a minute.

I do not find Tabs to be depressing. Snarky and plenty of attitude, with the montages by Martini Glambassador (which I hope to spell correctly) to boot.

Tabs! To the complaining complainers: Be happy you have Wonkette you ingrates, Bezos just put WaPo under Ex-Murdoch leadership and the rest of the MSM is trying to figure out how to report our slide into fascism without offending the fascists.

OMG Eat ice cream! Whatever it takes to get you back in the Happy Place!

We got a country of good people, and people who need help. oMG do they need help so we got stuff to do, neighbors to charm and persuade. Use food, music, laughter and get out the vote. Hugs!

I read an op-ed the other day where one of their arguments about "why don't you guys ever report anything good happening, like X or Y?" was -- and I shit you not -- "we have to chase clicks and bad news gets more clicks." So apparently we're all consigned to doomscrolling forever, because we're not clicking good news stories enough.

If it bleeds, it leads. Second verse, same as the first.

Yeah! Yeah! Rebecca, and goddamnit, no more fucking pandemics, ya hear us? Those cocaine pigs— or fuck, that was bears, right?— and murder hornets were just over the top.

Also, could you please do something about the Pacific garbage gyre? And all those shoes washing up on the coast? no more fires, no more tornadoes, no more beets because I do not like the way they taste.

I think it is important that you take accountability for the news, and you commit to doing better. Seeing as how this is all your fault, clearly.
