    The 14-year-old boy in me loves that headline. Hell, so does the 48-year-old boy in me!

    I'm old enough to remember seeing love letters right in the fkn work queue. More than once. That was a different culture, but at least it was somewhat more secretive.

    I think the constant crises caused by this administration and the unending crush of news, day in and day out, ended up biting them in the butt. Their October surprise never stood a chance because the onslaught of news has just overwhelmed everybody. Hunter Biden sucks, who cares. Next?

    Maya really gets it. Love this perceptive ending: "The low-paid grunt workers feed the content mines, absorb the social blowback from a hastily written headline, and allow for the Toobins of the world to continue their largely metaphorical — but sometimes literal — masturbatory practices."

    It says something about the "grunt workers" that there aren't more embarrassing mistakes since those grunt workers are HASTILY writing stories, then writing headlines, choosing photos, recording videos all day long, seven days a week.
