No sooner hasBrittany Mahomes' IV-drip of hangover-curing electrolytes worn offthan tomorrow unofficially kicks off NFL free agency period. We’re still about three weeks away from team’s being able to talk to available players....
SPOILER FREE SECTION Just to set the backdrop, True Detective is obviously a flawed product. The first season set the bar impossibly high. The second season not only missed that bar but set a new, impossibly low one. The third season hit somewhere in-between. The big change for this season is that creator/showrunner/writer/director Nic Pizzolatto was not directly involved. Instead, Issa Lopez got the call despite not really having any Hollywood work in her filmography....
In the space sector, this is standard operating procedure. The satellite in question is the European Space Agencys ERS-2. Launched in 1995, the spacecraft set new standards for Earth observation.

With the flip of a switch, the snowmobile springs to life. The electric motor beneath my seat engages, launching me at lightning speed through the fresh white powder ahead. Soon I am gliding across a frozen lake in Swedish Lapland like a speedboat on water. The sled skids to a halt. The hum of its batteries instantly replaced by the eery quiet of the Arctic. Today Vidde launched Alfa, the companys pre-series electric snowmobile....

Amazons case serves as a prime example of this dynamic. Moreover, the rise of emerging competitors poses a threat to established tech giants like Google and Meta. Collaboration in the digital marketing space Collaboration is a key to unlocking new opportunities and resources. While the DSA and DMA pose challenges and require practice changes, they offer opportunities for emerging players....
This blog is for you. All for the sake of staying on brand with the bit. Little preamble since this is the opening blog to a recurring bit. Because from a 30,000 ft. view this blog is really a satire on what the league has become. You might have read some of my weekly “NFL Sad Stats” blog for the past two seasons. But this blog isn’t just sad stats (oh, but there will be)....
A month away from the NCAA Tournament and not having snow on the ground. A month away from getting out of the winter and everyone is just happier. So here we are without football and getting our first look at the NCAA Tournament bracket. First off, yes, this matters. I still hate that we don’t get a full bracket reveal. We know who the best teams are in the country....

I’ve never been a big video game person. I was always awful at Call Of Duty and GTA and any shooting games I played with my friends. I always lost and it made me resentful towards all video games. Well, all video games except one. Specifically the franchise mode option where you create a player and then play out his career. It’s given me some of my finest memories in life....

you’re able to’t truly appreciate a deconstruction with appreciating what it once was. I have this movie at 32 (which is pretty high!) but I understand why others might have it in their top 5. My dad was more likely to watch Star Wars, Star Trek or a horror movie than a western. The cast is incredible. Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris. All have multiple Oscar nominations and Hackman won for his role as Little Bill here....
The proposals were made in a new report on AI safety, which calls for a stronger regulation ofhardware. Three Cambridge University institutes co-led the study paper, alongside OpenAI and the GovAI research community. They fear that governments are overlooking the dangers of compute, which could trigger disasters. Governments are well aware of these dangers, but their safeguards largely concentrate on software. The Cambridge team advocates a change of priorities. 40% off TNW Conference!...
