     @georgetakei Yeah, luckily it made it easier to find all the ones I forgot to unsubscribe from before.

     @georgetakei when I bought a new bath for the bathroom, I got flooded with adverts asking ‘do you want to buy a new bath?’.

     @georgetakei Black Friday is the best day to unsubscribe from email lists. It's my super bowl of stopping spam!

     @georgetakei I feel like some make it more annoying to unsubscribe now too!

     @georgetakei I get those along with piles of email for someone named Katherine with my last name. Katherine is apparently a trumpkin who buys lots of guns and supports some fairly crazy politicians and organizations. Gave up trying to remove myself from the list and just delete the piles of them that come in everyday.

     I have the Bayesian filter tuned well enough now to catch most of it and send it to spam. Some is fun to read. The pleas to help Walker especially.

     @georgetakei For me, Black Friday was more like wish.com Spam Friday.

     Yup. The tree may be empty this year, but the mailbox runneth over. Texts aren't far behind.

     @georgetakei It's the false sense of urgency that comes with Black Friday and Cyber Monday that annoys me.

     @georgetakei On Thanksgiving day no less, I received a text from a mortgage broker who I had called once two years ago. He was plugging his business. Seemed inappropriate to me.

     @georgetakei I find it soothing to sit down with a cup of hot tea and methodically unsubscribe from those emails. Kind of like KonMari minimalism for your inbox. ?
