Subject: Merry holiday and bigly wishes.
Hello and welcome to the first-ever WTFJHT holiday e-card.
First, I want to apologize. My e-card above is terrible. Truly god awful.
And that's because it’s intentionally over-the-top and synthetic. We’re living through an unfortunate era flooded with low-quality, low-effort AI slop. You know, the stuff that’s cheap and easy to make, but ultimately unremarkable.
WTF Just Happened Today?, on the other hand, is the opposite of that. It’s just me, a real life human (!), who doomscrolls the news so you don’t have to, compressing the chaos into a bespoke, once-a-day update that helps normal people make the news make sense. While that might be slow and boring by today’s internet standards, it’s purposefully built around restraint. My clear, careful, and honest summary of the day’s news is designed to be read in moderation and with a clear end – qualities that feel increasingly rare.
This project exists because a small group of readers make it possible [1] for me to stay independent, ad-free, and open to everyone who needs it.
Anyway, I mainly wanted to take a moment and thank you for spending time with WTFJHT this year. As always, I’m humbled and grateful for your attention and support. It’s a privilege to do this work, and I’m committed to doing it for as long as you’ll have me.
Wishing you a merry holiday and bigly wishes for a very stable New Year.
Thanks for being here.
