dear political organizations, social organizations, ngos of all stripes:
if you are emailing me about something that has happened
and if information about the thing that happened became known more than half a day ago
and your email does not contain any new information about what happened
YOU DO NOT GET TO LABEL YOUR !*@()%*^!@)($^!@&$ EMAIL 'BREAKING'
it already broke
(Fight For The Future, I am looking at you, especially since you sent me an email about this very same subject YESTERDAY. you are NOT ALLOWED to say 'OMG BREAKING NEWS~!!!!' when you broke this specific piece of news to me yesterday. this is how I decide what organizations I will accept mail from and what organizations get the spam bin. Take your 'breaking' and cram it sideways somewhere difficult to explain to a radiologist.)
