As his former boss, I really need to point out that Nico is quite literally burying the lede here and his contributions to the headline quote and the kicker should be publicly recognized.

Listen. It hurts. But it’s not nearly as devastating as the last two seasons when I sat in a fugue state for 45 minutes. I’m just gonna go home. ⚾️

TL;DR I’m still interviewing for traditional comms jobs, but will be writing for Celebrity Jeopardy until December, and it absolutely rules. This year was really hard. It’s nice to end it on this note.

The way I’ve been dying to post this on Main for a month.

LIFE UPDATE:  I’m still looking for full-time permanent work, HOWEVER due to a little bit of kismet and a LOT of chutzpah I have improbably and delightfully landed a 13-week contract writing for CELEBRITY JEOPARDY! I am about a month in, and it is as fun as you think it is. I write at least six categories a week, I enter them into the double secret Jeopardy database, I talk with other writers and see if my deranged little clues sound as funny to other people as they do in my demented brain, and people pay me for it. I do not know who the celebrities on the show will be. I know that it will air sometime early in 2027. I do not know what happens after 13 weeks. I do not know if I will meet Ken Jennings. I cannot tell you what the clues are. I am still interviewing with the Do Gooder Industrial Complex. And I am having SO MUCH FUN.

I’ll save you the click because this is the entire story, which is basically “things you could already do in excel (pretty easily, too!)”
Table for three? Artificial intelligence is pulling up a chair at a restaurant near you. Michael Schulson has added Al to some of his spots in the city, including Sampan, Double Knot, and Giuseppe & Sons. It's not on the menu.
You won't get wine pairing recommendations from Claude or a nudge from ChatGPT to "go on, order that dessert!" No - it's a system designed to analyze the numbers: how are sales? What about staffing? Are there enough truffles to top the tagliatelle? Schulson tells the Business Journal he's partnered with the startup Al Labz to test the product. He doesn't expect it to affect any jobs.

It’s my 18th season at Merrion Square pub and a very nice young lady just informed me that she’d always wanted to come here and now that she’s 21 she finally can so I’ll be staring into the middle distance for awhile.

The only flock surveillance I recognize is the pigeon flock that roosts on the fancy building across the street in inclement weather and lets me know “nah girl, you don’t need to go outside today”
Pre-war building by the river with about two dozen pigeons perched on the ledge in the rain.

Proud of my friend and former colleague DOCTOR @mikkojimenez.bsky.social, who published research showing nearly half of US bird migration hotspots (i.e. areas with high numbers of birds resting and refueling) are in metro areas. Read more about the new study here: www.audubon.org/magazine/nea...

Nearly Half of U.S. Bird Migration Hotspots Are in Cities—Here's Why That Matters
A surprising number of migrating birds are choosing to stop in metropolitan areas, researchers found, raising the stakes for urban conservation efforts.
