What many of us warned, & what is unavoidably clear now, is that there is no privileged sphere of "real life" that is sheltered, separate from the information environment. It's narratives all the way down -- even to the point that they shape *how people experience their own material circumstances*.

Interesting point I just heard listening to @justsecurity.org podcast: Probationary employees aren't all "new." If you've been working your whole career in the government and recently changed agencies or positions it might include you too. 😠
