there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

Been really confused by social media for a while but I think I've figured it out: everyone except me has an explosive collar and it will detonate if they don't immediately contribute to the same discourse that everyone hates

I think a lot of "learn to code" people thought high salaries for programmers were a permanent feature of the world rather than the result of unusual circumstances around supply and demand in the labor market. Over last 20 years, CS went from a niche college major to the most popular major in the US
New CS grads are making less than I made as an accounting graduate straight out of college a decade ago, and I don’t mean inflation adjusted, I mean nominally.

Among advice to get hired in 2025 is "contact the hiring manager". This does not work. Do not suggest this to someone.
Most of the time you will not get a response.
When they have responded to me, they recommended I check out the job portal that I already came from.
One got upset I reached out.

It’s the 92nd anniversary of the repeal of nationwide alcohol prohibition in the United States.
It’s long past time to end *all* federal drug prohibition.

Revisiting this one today: Defacement - Doomed
It's heavy, it's death metal, but also it's gorgeous. Washes in between waves of dissonance, followed by surges of gorgeous, haunting post-metal atmosphere.
Could be AOTY.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

my earnest advice is, as much as humanly possible, immediately forget every place you've applied as soon as you submit the application
Those asking me for advice about the philosophy job market should know I once set up a custom RSS feed so I would get notified every time someone posted a comment on the Cocoon job market thread (so I could be sad about not getting job X as quickly as possible). So uh you don't want my advice

A lot of people call me unkind things, like "a bit smelly" and "has a bunch of feral rats crawling over him constantly" and "seriously, why does he carry around those rats all the time?"
Rest assured, I don't consider myself stinky or covered in rats, so I hope that is clear.

Advice for getting a job in 2025:
Put a human touch on your application! Reach out to the hiring manager so their autoreply email can redirect you to the job portal you were just cold applying at 10 minutes ago.
