Signs.

We were coming out of the grocery store parking lot when Mrs. Miasma saw them.

A thin line of protestors sprinkled along the sidewalk across from some federal agency offices.

Protest signs read "I WANT public education!" and "Save our national forests"

I counted about thirty people. I thought about pulling over to take their picture, but then I realized that would be the wrong thing to do these days. Instead we waved and gave them thumbs-up.

The state of LinkedIn's job alerts.

Of 25 search results on page 1, 24 were from this employer (apparently at UK minimum wage).

The other one? A Brazilian crypto journalist/content writing role. 🤐

[Image: a LinkedIn job alert screenshot for "content writer AND remote" displays the same "job" numerous times. It's an AI content writer role at minimum wage.]

Not sure if I overheard correctly, but earlier today I think coffee shop guy (with irritation in his voice) mentioned the rising cost of fuel / heating.

Meanwhile it's December in the UK and the door to said coffee shop is permanently open.
