Email From Baratunde Issue 12,984 Heroes. Citizens. We made it to Friday. I offer a round of applause on this momentous occasion. 👏🏾 Fridays may soon be outlawed along with facts and compassion. So let's celebrate. I've reorganized this email and just wanted to take a moment before diving in to say thank you. The world is in a topsy turvy place right now, and especially in these United States. We've discovered a new solar system, and I'm sure that means the people who got rich processing payments online will feel justified in leading colonial exoplanetary expeditions soon. We've been bombarded with counterproductive nonsense from the new American White House and its de facto president Steve Bannon, aka Bad Santa, aka Never Has A Face Provided Such An Accurate Picture Of The Soul.
