The real reason the job market is totally broken Exclusive new data proves it: Applying to a job in 2025 is the statistical equivalent of hurling your resume into a black hole.

"Last quarter, the average job opening received 242 applications — nearly triple the amount in 2017, when the unemployment rate was at a comparable level. That means that when someone submits a resume today, they have the abysmally low 0.4% chance of actually getting the job."

Yeah…I mean to me this reads as their thinly veiled attempt to do a bailout of the tech bros. Because on the face of it, this is nonsensical.

Like don’t get me wrong, I wish he was still alive so I could write a fan letter to him and have him potentially upbraid me for something, but uh…I’m glad he doesn’t have to see this madness.

Every day I thank God that Harlan Ellison didn’t have to bear witness to this shit.

I mean at least it wasn't called Skynet.

No comment necessary.

Does this sound creepily similar to what the current administration is doing to universities right now, to force them into following right wing ideology? Especially the threats re: withholding funding?

Starting a thread for Harlan Ellison’s The Glass Teat because holy hell are some of the observations in this book wildly applicable to our current historical moment.

Harlan's vintage paperbacks always have the most amazing cover art.

It's kinda miserable watching what happened to musicians happen to authors. Traditional publishing getting less and less interested in doing the things that help people starting out and instead looking to parasitise the work they do to build their own audiences is the record company model.

I've only read Ciardi's translation of Dante's Inferno -- I really need to read more of his work!

RIP Udo Kier.

Apparently I must watch the Netflix Scooby-doo!

"Noted speculative fiction author &…curmudgeon Harlan Ellison voicing himself in a cartoon! I love that they used his cool early '70s wardrobe too; &…his rival was an HP Lovecraft homage voiced by Jeffery Combs!"

That Scooby Doo episode is absolute comedy gold 😂

The Wine of Love Bu James Thomson (“Bysshe Vanolis”) The wine of Love is music, And the feast of Love is song: And when Love sits down to the banquet, Love sits long: Sits long and ariseth drunken, But not with the feast and the wine; He reeleth with his own heart, That great rich Vine.

The wine of Love is music,
And the feast of Love is song:
And when Love sits down to the banquet,
Love sits long…

—James “B.V.” Thomson, “The Wine of Love”

Harlan actually mentioned this and cited it as an example of the film plagiarizing from Gahan Wilson.

I'm pretty indifferent to Gremlins tbh. I don't think it's evil like Harlan does, but I don't think it's perfect either.

I wish we could get a buddy film with Clovis and Indy

We are back Sunday night with Snatchers (2019)!

I’ve seen this movie a couple of times and every single time I’m amazed how batshit insane yet watchable it is. Thanks for the awesome pick, #FrightClub! 💜

You KNOW what I mean. #FrightClub
