Why do companies still insist on applicants spending 4hrs on crafting a bespoke covering letter and asking questions like, why are you perfect for this role? Careers don't work like this anymore. People move jobs a lot. Change how you recruit to match. I need an admin job I can do from home. Period.

Sometimes, people need to stop and wonder whether their opinion is actually that valuable. Or, indeed, kind, inclusive, or necessary.
Absolutely unhinged take from someone who is obviously shit at all games and an absolute misery to be around. (And who advocates wine for 12 year olds?) 🤡
A rare day off - I am awaiting imminent edits- and having just turned in dragon book edits (the smutty one) I didn't have the brain power for high concept entertainment. Thus, I watched the new Masters of the Universe - silly in the extreme, had a great time - and Overlord. Lots of nazi punching. 👌

And they're damn good books!
Once upon a time, I wrote a book about two gay idiots finding each other while a Celtic god tries to kill them. Then I wrote ten more in that series. Now I've written the twelfth one and it's out this Friday. The idiots are still gay though 😎 ravenswordpress.com/books/inheri...
The people running these companies are absolutely invested in blurring the lines between Machine Learning (largely good, useful), General AI (sci-fi, does not exist), Generative AI (mediaslop), and LLMs (wordslop) so they can promise the moon to investors and sell slop.

45 minutes in and regretting my life choices... I'd forgotten the baby bear, mama bear thing and now it's haunting me all over again. Who cares if the cgi is janky as hell?
Oh no. I'm watching Event Horizon for the first time in almost 30 years in honour of the great Sam Neill. Wonder if I'll be as scared as I was back then...
