Dear Free Presser, Hi. I’m Nellie Bowles. I write TGIF, which lands in your inbox every Friday whether you asked for it or not. (You did ask for it. You just may not remember.) Every week I go through the news, and I try to make you laugh a little. We cover the economy, elections, chemtrails, you name it. I highlight the most absurd headlines, the dumbest media narratives. I cover the antics of the left, the antics of the right, even the antics of decadent, self-important neolibs like myself. TGIF has been running since The Free Press launched, which makes it one of the oldest and most beloved things we publish, if I do say so myself. Our readers call it their favorite part of the week. Some of them have told me it’s the only thing that gets them through Friday morning. Here’s the part where I tell you the bad news: You’re only getting a tiny piece of it. Free subscribers get a taste of TGIF every week. Paid subscribers get the whole thing—every item; every joke from Suzy, which is all of them; every David Mamet cartoon (see? You don’t even know what I’m talking about!); every reader showing us where they TG from. If you’ve only seen the paywalled version and are wondering what lies beyond—trust me, I don’t run out of things to say. I never run out of things to say. I’m the smartest person I know. Ask Bari.
