a recruiter asks me to “please seem positive” about a long, dreary and expensive commute to a downtrodden, concrete-bound suburb of East London where there will be terrifying badly lit windswept streets, broken heroin needles and a strong sense of impending doom… how am I doing?

Completing a test assessment for an investment bank, I’m reminded just what rigid, controlled environments some of these organisations create. It’s like being in occupied territory under martial law

A former colleague (and a nightmare to work with) announces he’s publishing a book, is complimented effusively by others. Unfortunately I happen to know they all hate him and the book is probably shite. Another day on happy friendly LinkedIn, where almost everything is a lie 🐍

@christopherrufo I’ve been enjoying Dennis Wheatley’s “The Eunuch of Stamboul”, an exotic if not very PC spy thriller about moustache-twirling imperialists set in 1930s Turkey

By standard reckonings of infernal time, Uuyezetjemoth was spawned during an epoch known as the Great Worsening, an interval of indeterminate length during the fourteenth Eon of the Monad, although the presence of time loops in eternity makes this calculation controversial

Other infernal abilities ascribed to Uuyezetjemoth include inversion of causality, opening up the possibility of engineering an adjoining timeline where a Black Crusader could be empowered to go back and prevent the birth of Christ. This does require some latitude

Bio for a fictional minor demon: Uuyezetjemoth, child and grandchild of Asag. No pronouns. Mentioned in an apocryphal version of the epic “Ninurta’s Exploits” as one of the torturers of Dumuzid, also the keeper of Imdugud, the monstrous firebird who stole the Tablet of Destinies

I just remembered the time I went on a first date to London Zoo and at the gate he asked if I would mind paying for my own ticket, which I said I would, at which point he pulled out a 2-for-1 voucher, so I paid for my ticket and he went in for free.

How counterintuitive is it that only in math do we maintain the facade that there’s some underlying truth to the discussion, and that it isn’t just about who has more pips on their sleeve or whose dad can beat up who else’s dad?

Aside: I love that about math, when mathematicians are grateful when you notice something wrong, unlike in normal life when people get mad and double down and deny it.
