Periodically rotating my magical thinking between "they have to hire me," commanding the universe to obey my will, and "they'll never hire me," inviting the universe to contradict me for dramatic effect.

I'm North American English vulgar slang shit-eating. (Though I quibble with the hyphenate in North American English vulgar slang.)

Current status.

A good strategy for determining whether an article about “””AI hiring””” is full of shit: check for “data science,” a role that’s been in demand for a decade. A faster and more reliable strategy is: yes, yes it is.

Idly skimming the summary and reviews of a Peter Thiel book for a bit of sportive eyebrow-raising, loving the top also-bought recommendation.

“U.S. District Judge John McConnell accused the administration of withholding SNAP for ‘political reasons.’ “ This is an insane statement. When a judge issues a ruling, it is no longer an accusation.
