Is there something special about red stripe? I remember it being the cheapest beer available and therefore my drink of choice in my favourite Dundonian night club in the mid 2000’s.

Cool job posting at ProPublica

We are seeking a computational journalist to join our data team to use their technical knowledge, as well as emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and large language models, to help us investigate the world and unlock stories that would otherwise be out of reach.

Journalism experience is a plus, but we especially encourage applications from people with quantitative/research backgrounds, such as statistics, data science, AI and machine learning. Ability to code well is a must.

Ultimately, we’re looking for someone who would pitch us on ideas that use technology to do things we hadn’t dreamed of doing. That could be renting a boat to test the WiFi networks at Mar-a-Lago, having students scream into black-box hardware or using the power of programming to fingerprint and cluster propaganda videos.

I always found it to be absolutely delicious, esp when in JA. It’s never been cheap here.

Jamaican-brewed Guinness is also excellent.

A friend of my stepsister’s was furious with me (an unwilling bridesmaid) when I refused to join the Catch the Bouquet Scrum. I said that I didn’t want to “compete” for anything {least of all a bridal bouquet!}. She all but shouted, “But you HAVE to compete!!!”

I looked at her like she was nuts and walked away. After her display, I wouldn’t’ve even stood way behind the scrum.

She spent the whole time telling people what to do at my stepsister’s wedding, and as far as I knew, no one had died and made her damn ass King. A pushy AF, demanding, control freak jock. Not my cuppa as people go.

I caught another beer at the bar instead, then burned a number w/my mom.
