  • It’s been years since I got hired anywhere that even checked it. HR only cared about the exact data in the exact format their system wanted it, so they could compare fast. They’re taking in like 1,000 apps for every job they post, so they need to be able to sort and filter down to the 3-5 employees they want to interview without having to do boring hand research.

    I’ve been on hiring panels myself and don’t bother because it’s usually just a copy of their resume which I already have in front of me. I do not care about their opinions on the latest management book they read, unless it’s important enough to bring up in the interview (sometimes it is!)


  • Yes. I would have no issue with all my neighbors having local systems like I’m switching to. But putting a cloud camera out on the sidewalk, where it’s not pointing at your entrance, but just filming passersby (my new neighbor)… eek. I am thinking of leaving him a note, just politely asking why he feels the need to record me walking my dog every day. At least put up a privacy notice we can all read and sign before crossing the public easement that people are totally allowed to walk. Let me know how me and my dog’s facial structures are going to be used to train mysterious backroom Planitir AIs. Like good neighbors do.


  • Watch for this to change, almost overnight. Gen Z has different expectations and there’s a huge anti-social-network movement building within it. It’s very common for me to run into younger people now who don’t have FB or Insta. Linkedin is next as it’s so cringey and becoming less useful. 10, 15 years ago I could really use the platform to engage recruiters and land interviews. Now fit’s a wasteland of influencers pumping out meaningless posts. There is no value there.











  • 2300 sqft historic home in a capitol city downtown… 8 years ago… but I do have to put up with a few quirks like the homeless everywhere and the serial killer that was actively preying on them for several years, and the sword-carrying superhero who then came along to patrol and ‘fight’ this killer.

    We have a security system.





  • You have to be careful you’re not on a specialty diet website looking at recipes, the other day looking at this white-lady recipe for butter chicken which is “so authentic” you “need to try this one” if you’ve never had butter chicken before. Then she’s like, I cut out most of the cream and butter and it still tastes fine! 😒 Still 14 ingredients, many of which I’ll not use before they expire. Pass.


  • Organize at the grassroots level to retake the Democratic party. People sorely underestimate the work and time involved in raising a new party from scratch. We already have an apparatus and, for about half of voters, a recognizable and somewhat trustworthy brand, although tarnished these last couple decades. Kick Schumer out. Alienate all the establishment assholes. Brutally reject the cowards and the bribetakers. Let the sun shine in so the healing can begin.
