Hi Marisa,
I just wanted to let you know something very funny, I shared your "Hating Al is good, actually" article in my company Slack; and I'm now in the midst of a disciplinary process that is trying to strongarm me into accepting a mandate to use Al.
Thank you! I've needed to leave this place for some time now and this is just the push I needed! It was an excellent article and my god is it refreshing and relieving to know it's not just me; I have been drowning in slop-slob.

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.
