Voters in nursing homes are guaranteed the right to vote. They don’t always get it.

@PabloReports @maxwelltani @samueloakford Is there a particular thing you recommend? My inbox is unusable right now and it is A Problem.

[Max Tani @maxwelltani]

I used to be against whining about receiving pitches. But I don’t think PR people have grasped how much AI has clogged up many journalists’ inboxes with annoying, frivolous pitches. I get so much junk now I’ve basically given up trying to maintain my inbox.

@ChristianityOn It is bananas to give someone a 30 step process for managing another person’s Big Feelings and to claim that’s a “therapy trick.” The therapy trick is that the person who has a 3 hour spiral after receiving criticism needs to go to therapy.

Very fun scooplet: AOC delivered a UMich-themed Diet Coke tower to Debbie Dingell this afternoon

Dingell was pretty much running on Diet Coke during the campaign cycle

random PR people: Journalism wouldn't exist without all the pitches I email you

The pitches in my inbox: Interview - He Ate Mud Every Single Day For 25 Years. The Lessons He Learned Will Reverberate Forever

Wow — @ONA is cancelling its annual conference and laying off most staff

@ReporterOriana I was skeptical about how Ross Douthat would do on 60 Minutes and it turns out he’s great at TV.

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

@ChristianityOn Somehow I find that less annoying than calling it “mutual aid.”

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

@JzonAzari “Thank you for your pitch. Your new conditioner for chihuahuas is outside my scope of coverage.” Ad nauseum until it gets dark and I run out of time to do my actual job.

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

@JzonAzari I get 3000 pitches a day and almost all of them are the result of bots trawling for keywords and then poorly applying them or are just completely unrelated to what I do, to a somewhat ludicrous degree. I am absolutely not responding to all of them. Or even some.

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

And yes, that is @EricMGarcia’s We’re Not Broken in my little book nook, along with Joe Shapiro’s seminal No Pity. It’s good to have them handy.

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

If anyone was ever curious about what my workday and process look like, @Open_Notebook interviewed me recently. https://t.co/TTXqCjMX6I

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

@EricMGarcia If he actually does any of those things. Hawley has always talked a different game than what he ends up voting.

@william_co95995 @bethanyshondark I know you’re trying to make some kind of weird racist dunk, but there are Black and Indian Jews. Besides converts, there are historic communities like Beta Israel and the Cochin Jews.

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

@bethanyshondark What Jewish organizations are saying otherwise?

@KelseyTuoc @lxeagle17 @politicalmath All that said, I am going to be heartbroken if Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan don’t go the distance. I hate Meta. It is hostile to journalists and journalism. But man. I have to admire his dedication to his wife.

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

@KelseyTuoc @lxeagle17 @politicalmath These philandering men have funded a new generation of feminists. It’s kind of poetic.
