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."

Reskeet with a tweet you still think about
DC Pierson @DCpierson "Of course, my favorite Mario Kart racer was Dry Bowser. I found his name and aesthetic incredibly appealing, as I'm sure anyone would." 11:51 AM • Dec 26, 2017 (Over a photo of serial killer Ed Kemper, as portrayed in the Netflix series Mindhunter)

The Pale King’s love letter to accounting is my favourite DFW piece

mrblanck.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...
After one or two other comments, with his hands still clasped behind his back, the substitute continued, 'I wish to inform you that the accounting profession to which you aspire is, in fact, heroic. Please note that I have said "inform" and not "opine" or "allege" or "posit." The truth is that what you soon go home to your carols and toddies and books and CPA examination preparation guides to stand on the cusp of is-heroism.’ … Continuing on without pause, he said, 'Exacting? Prosaic? Banausic to the point of drudgery? Sometimes. Often tedious? Perhaps. But brave? Worthy? Fitting, sweet? Romantic? Chivalric? Heroic?' When he paused, it wasn't just for effect—at least not totally. 'Gentlemen,' he said,'—by which I mean, of course, latter adolescents who aspire to manhood-gentlemen, here is a truth: Enduring tedium over real time in a confined space is what real courage is. Such endurance is, as it happens, the distillate of what is, today, in this world neither I nor you have made, heroism. Heroism.’ … He paused again and smiled in a way that was not one bit self-mocking. "True heroism is you, alone, in a designated work space. True heroism is minutes, hours, weeks, year upon year of the quiet, precise, judicious exercise of probity and care-with no one there to see or cheer. This is the world. Just you and the job, at your desk. You and the return, you and the cash-flow data, you and the inventory protocol, you and the depreciation schedules, you and the numbers.'

The "Tacos Chotiner" tweet remains undefeated
Druthers Haver @6thgrade4ever CHOTINER: So how many tacos did you eat? ME: About four, I think. CHOTINER: Ok. On Instagram-- ME: Or six, maybe. CHOTINER: Yeah. Do you think some people might call that a lot? ME: Well, that's why I got the small chips. CHOTINER: Right. It's about discipline. ME: Exactly. 12:02 PM · Apr 11, 2019

Lots of people imagine abstaining from the vote to be taking their foot off the gas, when they're really just taking their hands off the wheel

"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

Many are declaring 2025 the Year of Windhorst, and to them I say, “What’s changed?”

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take.

It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨

“Sports ball” and “I don’t even own a TV” are virtue signaling for virtues that suck

Btw, the craziest shot in NBA history is so clearly Isiah Rider's miracle prayer in 1994 that it's kind of weird that this isn't a world-famous NBA moment that we all know about. Hell, I only saw this for the first time a few years ago.

"...certain altars and stones suggested forgotten rites of terrible, revolting, and inexplicable nature, and made me wonder what manner of men could have made and frequented such a temple."

today's affirmation:

I am a shark swimming in deep water. my ocean does not have a name. it does not have an end. it does not have a bottom. space extends equally in all directions. forever. everything that moves is fuel. somewhere, someone says I cannot stop swimming. I do not know why I would try
