#BirdOfTheDay Alt #Blue An F4U Corsair flying by … dang it, animal birds! Ok, this lazuli bunting was hiding out on Powell Butte, Portland Oregon.

US Navy F4U Corsair in dark blue in flight. It is moving to the left and rolled to its left against a backdrop of medium grey clouds and its top side is fully illuminated by the sun.

A lazuli bunting perched on a tree branch among leaves and other branches, looking slightly to its left, fully exposing its right eye.

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay, #WadersOuttaWater we have a PBY in flight… wait, wrong bird. How about a pair of gulls sharing a lovely sunset stroll on Canon Beach instead.

People I know are looking for jobs, and getting AI interviews for the first time. It sucks that this practice exists, but it will continue unless it doesn't work. At the least, can you be upfront that AI is used by your HR, and tell the candidate it will be an AI interview in the calendar item?

Sometimes questionnaires take things a bit too far ... back in time.

Preferred language question that includes "English", "English, middle (1100-1500)", and "English, old (ca.450-1100)"

This is fucking bullshit. 1. There’s plenty of footage of the reporter out there 2. Then who was he mocking? The thing about assholes that mock people: they are ALWAYS terrible imitations. It’s part of the mocking. And you’re the type of asshole that defends him.

Saw this #ttrpg memory of the 70s & 80s in the library. Anyone remember what this is from?

Picture of words on a book saying
“This is Free Trader Beowulf calling anyone…
Mayday, Mayday… We’re under attack…
Main drive is gone… Turret number one not responding…
Mayday… Losing cabin pressure fast, calling anyone…
Please help… This is Free Trader Beowulf…”

Or, and hear me out, they could work as a group to start asking tough, direct questions, and not tolerate lies and dodges from the press secretary or other administration officials.

It would seem that critical thinking, intellectual ability, or even basic listening are not in the job description for “senior investment banker”.
