When you have a snotty torture list like this, I mark your job as "not serious" on my spreadsheet and move on. Plus a six-hour “test drive”? That's called "theft of services," my dude. You're not getting six hours of free work. [1/2]
If you move forward, here's an overview of what to expect:
→ Video interview, with a recruiter or Al, 15 - 30 minutes
→ Skill Assessment, 2 hours (on task)
→ Hiring Manager Interview, 60 - 90 minutes
→ Test Drive, 6 hours
→ Offer Acceptance. Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of reference and background checks.
*Certain steps in the hiring process may be adjusted depending on the position.

The press has done an outstanding job showing how Melania: the Motion Picture is as vapid as Melania: the Mail-Order First Lady. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...
Some theaters showing "Melania" were so empty that wags
suggested that undocumented immigrants should hide out there.
Reviews are brutal: The Independent said the first lady came
across as "a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this
ghastly bit of propaganda." The Guardian dismissed the movie as
"gilded trash," and Variety asked, "Why would Amazon spend $75
million on a movie this boring?" (I think we all know the answer to
that.)

Extremely relatable.
Loving Someone with Anxiety Means
Remembering This:
• They're not overthinking to be difficult - their brain is scanning for danger even when none is there.
• Their worries aren't pointless - it is a learned self-protection pattern attempting to keep them safe.
• When they ask for reassurance, it isn't to doubt you - it's a coping strategy their nervous system uses to feel safe, seen, and loved.
• They're not trying to be negative - anxiety makes every "what if" feel like a real possibility.
• If they take longer to decide, it's not indecision - it's weighing 47 outcomes you don't even see.
• When they cancel plans last-minute, it's not flakiness - it's their nervous system saying, "I'm overwhelmed" or "This feels too scary."
• They're not consciously trying to control everything - unpredictability just feels scary
• They're not being "too sensitive" - their system feels things deeply and notices what others overlook.
• They really don't want to worry this much - but, their nervous system has become habituated to being on constant alert

I picked up Donald Trump for a short drive today. He was at the gas station, looking all confused. So I scraped him up and took him to the Dollar Store that went out of business thanks to his tariffs. It was that or a local homeless camp. He'd be at home in either. #MAGA #Trump #Republicans
An "I did that!" sticker of Donald Trump pointing upward. Someone affixed it to a gas pump such that the finger indicates the current price.An "I did that!" sticker of Donald Trump over the "for lease" sign at a former Dollar Store. Trump-o-nomics drove it out of business. The sticker points at the words even though it is functionally illiterate.

Watched #RiffTrax Flight to Hell on Saturday. Did you know my favorite movies are Alien and John Carpenter's The Thing? So each time FtH ripped off a line from Aliens, The Thing, or a related film, a little bit of me died inside. Example: does this screen seem a little similar to one in FtH?
A computer screen from John Carpenter's The Thing.

The rewards for the latest #NMS expedition, Breach, included a whole lot of new Atlas-themed corvette parts. So I ripped apart my ship's exterior and rebuilt it with those parts. The Blackbear now looks much leaner and meaner! #NoMansSky #Gaming #PS5 #PlayStation
The Blackbear’s old design. A large, black corvette rests in a field of red grass with my character standing in front of it, clad in stone armor.The Blackbear’s new design, including two recently-added jet trails. It’s far more sharp and angular with red lighting effects.The Blackbear’s new design, minus two additional thruster trails I added later. It’s far more sharp and angular with red lighting effects.

I'm trying my "Valhalla Blend" home-brewed absinthe after two months of steeping. I cut this glass 50/50 with water and sweetened it with simple syrup. The flavor is interesting, but I have to sip this stuff very slowly. The base is pure moonshine -- literally.

Went to the #Oregon Renaissance Faire with @Augie yesterday. We had a grand time! I drank apple mead, bought an absinthe kit (more on that later), and met an iguana in chainmail. Fun times!

Artificial intelligence for a genuinely-stupid memoir.
First Lady Melania Trump unveils Al-narrated
audiobook version of her memoir
From CNN's Donald Judd
First Lady Melania Trump announced the release of an Al-narrated version of her memoir
Thursday, saying on X that it is "narrated entirely using artificial intelligence in my own voice."
Dubbing it a "NEW ERA," Trump added: "Let the future of publishing begin."
Trump released her memoir in October 2024, writing ahead of its release that writing it "has
been a deeply and reflective journey for me." The Al-generated audio book is now available for
purchase.
"Melania: The Audiobook is narrated using artificial intelligence audio technology," a
statementposted to the first lady's personal website says. "The narrator is an Al-generated
replica of Melania Trump's voice, created under Mrs. Trump's direction and supervision."

I applied to an #AI tutor job out of desperation since I need luxuries like food and shelter. During the assessment, my subconscious said “check that company name again, pal." It's #xAI, Elon Musk's ugly puppy. I deleted my responses and told the recruiter to remove me from consideration.
To Whom It May Concern:

I should have read the "Al Tutor" job listing more thoroughly. During my initial review of its contents, I failed to correlate the company name with Elon Musk. Like many IT workers, l've been out of work almost two years now and need a job. But I'd rather leave the industry altogether than help your boss continue wrecking the world.

Okay, this is baffling. I can only assume it's some kind of #AI bullshit. I was listening to a synthwave playlist and wanted to add a song to my library. Every time I search on this upbeat, instrumental-only song, #AppleMusic asks if I need suicide prevention resources. WTF?
A search for the song "Neuroc" by Interferon. A prompt after the query reads "If you or someone you know needs help, support is available."
