applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Very happy to have my first creative fiction publication, on McSweeney's, no less!

Give it a read if you like:
•Bells
•Trader Joe's
•Vaguely terrible fates

To other writers out there: Keep writing! Keep editing! Don't let the grind get you down.

Watching the Project 4k77 scan of the original theatrical release of Star Wars is so fascinating. Stripping away the updated effects and polish we've become accustomed to really reminds you of when it was released and how it fits into the context of film history. Oh and #hanshotfirst

We, as a people, need a truly optimistic take on Superman more than anything else in our media right now.
