The slate article is correct, but its desirable to be polite as well as accurate if you actually want to communicate something. Also, if someone wants to donate to feel good, that feeling good is an actively good thing that they are purchasing and its undesirable to try to damage it.

What's the status on this? The picture on the page suggests the $125,000 matching maximum was met, but nothing says for sure.

What time on Thursday is the deadline?

Mousing over the image gives the total $121,616.
