Good morning!

I’m all ears for your feedback, or if you’re already a fan, share this email with your friends. If you’re not yet on the list, click below to sign up.
Today’s news, fermented:
Hello friends. Today’s issue will be a little short, as it’s a busy time when you’re in the business of haranguing corporations.
I’ll call this issue “In Which: Things Continue to Get Weird.” Nothing new, I know.
Here are said things.
Oil prices crashed on Monday, some as low as -$37 per barrel—the lowest price since oil futures trading began many decades ago. There’s a lot of chatter about saving the industry that might just end humanity, but I’m much more here for this argument that we should bail out people, not oil companies.
People are doing all kinds of nice and funny stuff in their virus-induced unemployment, including swapping ‘just married’ signs for ‘almost married’ signs and painting paintings of first responders.
Fiona Apple, the therapist for all therapists, apparently predicted us all being stuck inside by releasing an album that she made entirely in her home. Good listening for those emotional rollercoaster days we once called ‘weekends.’
Did you think I would write even the shortest issue without animals? What do you take me for. This article really got my goat—animals hangin out in people-places because the people aren’t there. Please do yourself a favor and look at them all.
