Why are End Citizens United fundraising emails indistinguishable from Trump ones in style and tactic?

Grammarly left fingerprints all over the email headers and yet the red-letter call to action is missing "survey" making it word salad.

ECU's privacy policy email address responded to my CCPA do not sell/unsubscribe request with an automated message saying they don't respond to their emails due to a high volume of mail.

*Unhappy zero inbox noises*

Why is my cat set up like he's about to write me up for poor job performance? #CatsOfMastodon

We keep trying to take down the tree, the cats keep staging interventions #Caturday

This cat is only cuddly once every two weeks and he's been cuddly all day. I feel like I'm taking a loan out against future affection or something.

Trying to prep a bunch of long-retired computers for a big e-waste pickup and found a computer that predates my time at the company, went to pull the HDD for separate storage or disposal and found a lovely copper heatsink. Might need to clean it up and use it as a steampunk paperweight.

My bf doing a whole-ass photoshoot in the kitchen with the cat, who was busy laying across the volume and playback controls on my keyboard, while I attempted to get the dishes done.

Hard to stay mad when I saw the results tho [also the dishes are done]

#Bread #sourdough #Baking question: for a few years now I've tried to get back to baking regularly but my starter will seem fine, and then eventually become a soupy mess. After a lot of searching I found Ken Forkish saying this in "Evolutions in Bread" I figured it was something going on with the rye I had been using almost exclusively for feeding and started again with whole wheat, but just had the same thing happen.

Has anyone else seen this, or even better solved it?

My dude, this an egregious misuse of the flattening powers of an ironing board.
