Hello, and welcome back to Tomorrow Will Be Worse!

I’ve gotten some inquiries of late from people wondering what will become of TWBW once it becomes part of The Best & The Brightest in January. So in the interest of clarity, let me give you a sneak peek into how your inbox will look starting January 3.

Enjoy Tara’s dispatch, and your weekend. I’ll see you back here on Tuesday.
