I can’t find a job in marketing or communications, so I made an award-winning play about my struggles and talked to CNBC about it! Hey, that sounds like a good quality your company needs in its marketing and communications! 😉 www.cnbc.com/2026/09/07/4...

My job search is a year-long odyssey. How bad is it? I had an interview with AI. Read all about it in my interview with @wired.com. www.wired.com/story/the-ri...

The Rise of the 1 am Job Interview
An AI interview is increasingly the first step of a hiring process. Since there’s no human on the other end, candidates are scheduling them whenever—even deep into the night.

Why is everything so transparently evil now?
"Print books from the pre-LLM era are structurally guaranteed to be free of this contamination. That alone is a significant advantage," it explains in an article on its website, as quoted by
404. "Physical books published before this date [pre-2022] are structurally clean of modern poisoning tools."
Once focused on helping libraries, distributors, and book shops find and sell books, ISBNdb now helps Al companies bulk-buy anywhere between 1,000 to one million books per order, according to 404.

The Buoys’ “Timothy” is, to my knowledge, the only one-hit wonder about implied cannibalism. Three men are trapped in a mine cave-in. Only two survive, and the lyrics imply that they ate their third companion, Timothy. My Mom also named me after this song. True story! youtu.be/XjSmFq3j-8M?...

As someone who wore thicker frames to hide the thick lenses that come with astigmatism, I am so glad I had vision correction surgery.

When I was a journalist, I was taught to write in conversational and accessible language. If someone needed a dictionary or thesaurus to decipher what I wrote, then I wasn’t doing the right job. That’s why this @nbcnews.com headline makes my head hurt so much.

I got rejected for a job today with a HR-complaint email that translates to: “We’re passing on you. You’re overqualified and we’re terrified you’ll get bored and quit in three months, or we just found someone cheaper who won't ask for a raise.” Ten months unemployed despite my best efforts. 🫠

The result of AI boosters getting booed at commencement will NOT be them getting a wake-up call about AI skepticism. They will just stop speaking at commencements. But that’s a small win!

I bit the bullet and put the green “open to work” banner on my LinkedIn profile. A career coach said it’s better to be visible as a job seeker versus “oh no will I seem desperate?” So far, it’s netted me a pitch to own a franchise. 😑

I propose replacing multi-round job interviews with a candidate hiring process that puts them through the Double Dare obstacle course. Get all eight flags in your hand in 60 second or less? You get hired!

In 1997, one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar was Deftones’ “Be Quiet and Drive.” In 2025, I learned I’ve been playing it long the whole time…even though it still sounds pretty much the same.

Turns out this package will likely never arrive. A U.S. Postal Service representative finally confirmed the package is indeed lost. It took me reaching out to my elected member of Congress to finally get a definitive response from the Post Office.

If one quote from a insurance exec ever summed up the American healthcare experience, this might be that quote: www.propublica.org/article/blue...
"Let me be clear: The authorization never says we're going to pay you. That's why there's a disclaimer." - Steven Udvarhelyi, former Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana CEO
