The way comments are threaded below a post is a hack to WordPress, and I suspect the part where it updates the post's reply count every time a comment is posted. But I haven't found where. Not that I've looked in a while, admittedly. I think of this particular software as a writeoff, and that it's myriad problems will magically be solved by a major upgrade to the latest WordPress. Someday.

As for the Lincoln Project, they're still going like gangbusters...or fascist busters. I sent them some money, but beware: They spam the hell out of you once they have your email. I'm having second thoughts about my support. Also, their emails all seem to assume I'm a contrite Republican, exhorting me to repent, sinner! and make up for my tragic mistake in 2016. They seem a bit tone deaf, oblivious to the breadth of their support. But maybe they're smart to not waste resources preaching to the choir. We already know how I'm voting.
