Great story. Can't overstate the desperation in creative industries right now. Nearly every person I know who previously had a viable, or even lucrative, career in media/entertainment is in a financial panic, leaving longtime apartments, desperately taking any work they can find. It is really bad.

never considered that government propaganda would include the manipulation of an automated out of the office email. this really disturbs me for some reason!

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown

Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

I went to 99 Ranch Market for the first time but got paralyzed by choice / fear / being a bad cook & not being able to read most of the labels. thankfully that saved me from spending all my money

the people “becoming their parents” in the Progressive ads are actually selflessly offering help to strangers and modeling a social order rooted in mutual aid
