The Second Email We Sent Today, July 16, 2019

Good morning! The first email we send out on a Tuesday is the HMM WEEKLY PREMIUM NEWSLETTER, featuring content provided solely to the members, supporters, and patrons of Hmm Daily, which is, until July 18, 2019, a website in the Civil Network, offering commentary and news and other things. These emails are written by Tom Scocca, the editor of Hmm Daily, and Joe MacLeod, the creative director.

You are on the Hmm Daily mailing list, but if our records are correct, you are not among the members, supporters, or patrons, so you do not get the full newsletter experience. (Emphasis ours). We're certainly glad to correspond with you regardless, and will continue to do so as long as you're interested, but if you would like to read the complete HMM WEEKLY PREMIUM NEWSLETTER, which will continue, in a larger, enhanced form, please join our paying community. Thank you for your interest, and we haz YouTube.
