I’m going to have a tough time choosing between the blue jays and the mariners. If the mariners get eliminated I’m all in on the jays. Thank you for making the Yankees look stupid :)

I cannot stress how important Rebecca has been for trans gamedevs. I wouldn't be here if not for her and her wife.

Help if you can.

can't even riff on this, it's so abundantly clear that EA leadership suckered their way into a massive pay day and everyone below them is poised to take the fall

fucked, absolutely fucked

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 9d

My colleagues at Bloomberg report that the $20 billion debt in the EA deal is expected to be rated single-B — meaning it is considered a "junk" loan, or one that is high-risk and speculative, typically offering high interest rates. Which the new EA will have to pay

been a Mets fan long enough that getting shut out by the marlins in a must-win scenario was exactly the outcome I expected.

Godspeed, Reds.

Be extra kind to any Mets fan friends you may have today.

It could be a day of peak Metsdom.

the fun part about baseball is I think we’d smoke a first place team but will lose to the marlins. maybe you guys have the same curse.
