Now that the Eagles' season is all but over, the most interesting question to me is if they wind up with a high pick (currently sit 6th) do they draft a QB?

Everyone and their mother is going to trip over themselves to apply for this job. It’s not an accident. Remote work will attract the best candidates. Take note, studios.

We're hiring! We're looking for a Writer and Narrative Designer to join the Fallen London team at a senior or mid level. This position is permanent, remote, and full time, which for us means 35 hours a week. #GamesJobs

After 2 1/4 games, this Eagles team is much less than the sum of its parts. If that doesn't implicate coaching, I don't know what does.

Well, in an unexpected turn of events for today's world, justice prevailed!

Absolutely dogshit call on the Ravens that's gonna decide the game.

it's really cool how a technology can have massive downsides and literally no societal upside and yet conventional wisdom is that it is impossible to not deploy because, apparently, it's progress and can't be stopped

When Jordan Love and Justin Herbert perform poorly, they are always hapless victims of incompetence surrounding them. Meanwhile, other people can place 2nd in MVP voting and actually win Super Bowl MVP while being hapless beneficiaries of talent surrounding them.

I know everyone gets on Mattingly for his handling of the bullpen, and they’re not necessarily wrong. But honestly, you can’t put out a fire with gas cans no matter how you deploy them.

if you’re a games company that wants to survive it has been proven over and over again you need to do whatever it takes to stay away from being publicly traded. you’ll be turned into wood chips the moment it’s convenient.

I’m sure it’s not weird when you grow up with it, but when I moved to Australia it struck me as so funny that we have a “Townsville” and a “Mount Lofty”. That’s some Simpsons nonsense.
