Spammy political fundraising texts from fictional characters.

Election season is in full swing, and if your phone is anything like mine, you’re constantly getting robotic, automated text messages from candidates. No matter how many times you reply “stop” or throw your phone across the room, they just keep coming.

Personally, the situation’s gotten a lot worse after I accidentally dropped my phone into a water fountain at the library. When it dried out and I was able to turn it back on, I started getting a whole new kind of spammy text.
