I follow comedians, writers, and other creatives. I really want people to read my books but I'll never ask you to.

I'm a fan of this tagline

The only appropriate response to any of them is either this meme, or a swift backhand to the face.

Came back to X for Switch 2 news. The checkmark replies are so so dumb I’m convinced Poe’s Law bots exist.

Just waiting for Neil Degrassi Tyson to talk about how solar eclipses are actually super lame

Sometimes in elementary school when I just wasn't feeling it, I wouldn't put my thumb down when selected in head's up 7-up.

I've decided I'm gonna start using the same business strategies people like Elon and Trump utilize. Namely just not paying for anything anymore.

@RiffTrax The Naked Jungle (1954). Not a great movie. Not Heston's best, though Eleanor is radiant. The story is bonkers, Some 50s racism/sexism that's trying to be nuanced but falls short. Plus a genuinely cool sequence of Man vs Nature where Nature wins by a landslide.

@FrankConniff 100% agree on your list. Raiders is objectively the better film, but Last Crusade is the one I rewatch the most. It's just so fun. Plus, Elsa Schneider is an underrated antagonist/love interest. She plays every character like a fiddle to get what she wants and almost succeeds.

I was pretty burned out on recruiting in the tech industry, but the insurance industry has been making a strong case as to why I should get back into tech.

It's the end of the month and @UTHighwayPatrol must be behind in their quota cuz they're out there in force today.

[jacob @jacobethangib]

@AskRobMerrill Or žhiph?

[jacob @jacobethangib]

I like to think I'm pretty cool, but then I remember I like to take pictures of my car odometer's milestones which is the actions of a textbook dork

[jacob @jacobethangib]

55 applicants in 1 month? Versus nearly 1000 in 3 hours? There's over 100,000 unemployed recruiters in the industry too.

Just so people know it's not the on-site requirement either, at Clearlink, whose CEO was in the news recently still managed to get more in a week than SpaceX

[jacob @jacobethangib]

Tells you something about how Elon is impacting employer branding for companies he's affiliated with that there's such a discrepancy in number of applications.

I'm about to be living my best life with #TMNT coming out next week. Go ninja go ninja go!

I made the mistake of clicking into the replies of a Variety tweet and the incoherent nitpicking in the comments made me physically recoil.

[jacob @jacobethangib]

Yeah, Twitter was the one not paying their rent. X is beyond all that. (Please stop suing us)

@RiffTrax When I was in college, me and my roommates started having weekly Rifftrax nights inviting people over. At one point I counted nearly thirty people bunched up in our living room watching the Titanic riff. Life long friendships and even marriages were born of those Rifftrax nights
