not exactly the same situation here, but: yesterday was a bad day but this morning I am getting some very positive feedback for my LearnedLeague 1DS and it is putting a big smile on my face

Hello, @learnedleague.com players! I wrote my first-ever One-Day Special, and if I can toot my own horn here, I think it's pretty fun... especially if you know a thing or two about sports! You can try it RIGHT NOW — look for "Just Images Sports Video Game Cover Athletes" on the LL homepage!

if this post makes me less employable than I apparently already am, so be it, because I gotta vent: MAN am I tired of getting emails saying "unfortunately, we've decided to move ahead with another candidate, but believe us, you were sooooooo close"

i love that every journalism job right now is "train the evil robot vizier for $500 an hour" or "write thousands of words in the hope that valnet's goblins will throw you a few nickels" that's really great

it's impressive, in a way, for a grown man to so succinctly demonstrate that they have a child's understanding of both economics and English the word you're looking for here is "than," you asshat, not "then"

But the show I want to single out—the one on my personal 10-shows ballot that did not make the list at all—is this beautiful, and apparently now largely forgotten, creation. Do yourself a favor and seek it out. (86 Ted Lasso to make room for it.) www.nytimes.com/2016/10/26/a...

The story of the bosses' revolt comes down to their experience, in 2020, of helplessly watching the labor-income line go up — and resolving, right then and there, to make sure that never happened again.

Just saw Resident Evil. Might be the best PlayStation-produced thing to be released in 2026? I'm not an RE guy when it comes to games, and I'm not a horror guy in any medium. But this movie will make you feel just about every emotion known to humanity in the space of 87 minutes!

Just got back from this, and there's gold in them thar hills, I tell ya. Amazing to see Hawke do what he does in this movie, with both physicality and plain ol' face acting, after bingeing The Lowdown S1 recently. Encouraging that it was the first of four showings at our local multiplex today!

This description of the CNN/CBS “editorial independence board” is not reassuring, because there is no sign that it has any actual power. Also, the requirement that the journalists on the board be from different political parties is exceptionally weird. Via @brianstelter.bsky.social

Under the settlement terms, that board must be established within 180 days of closing and comprise of five "established journalists (active or retired)," each with at least 10 years of experience.
The panel will resolve disputes over
"alleged reporting bias or failure to meet agreed reporting fairness standards" and monitor "editorial independence,
including from... ownership and shareholders." Members will be appointed by the company's board of directors, and "no more than two" may be
"affiliated" with the same political party.
