This practice is called “evergreening” from the conversations I’ve had with my internal HR teams and in my experiences with getting job reqs approved and offers out. It sucks because it gives green job seekers (pardon the pun) false hope, but it’s helpful for a number of internal metrics (as mentioned above). You typically see it in the larger enterprise organizations fwiw.

Ay yo bro! Marjorie and Ted Cruz and them like:

Gotcha— with Luka and especially after last year, the Mavs (outside of the flagship Cowboys who can draw eyeballs and ears even at 0-17) are the most exciting and interesting teams in the area, so I expect lots of Mavs talk and enjoy it. Especially after the wandering of the desert that was 2012-2019. Was listening to The Freak just now— random conversations and when the bit was Rhymer listening to and review Taylor Swifts new album Midnight, I’m out. I wanted to like this station but I think that’s 3 strikes and I’m done and will just monitor this thread to see if public opinion changes at some point in the future.

Kanye's music was genuinely brilliant.

Do you have a problem the metroplex's approach or execution of Mavs talk? I ask because you've made this sort of remark twice now. Or are you just can't stand the Mavs so no matter who well done or not, you won't wanna hear it?

Dropping the kids off at school I ran an experiment by toggling between The Fan and The Freak: The Fan had Mike McCarthy interview, which was not very enlightening but good Dak talk. The Freak had Julie Dobbs and Jeff C. and KT Funtweets talking about....I don't even know exactly. Kim Kardashians birthday and their weekend plans? The most jarring thing I noticed was The Freak is more a traditional radio station with the "DINGO AND the Ba-ba-Baby, pew pew laser noises" drops and agency produced recorded commercials that take you out of the shows where The Fan has their radio personality read the ads from a script and you stay in character and it doesn't feel like such a waste of time. edit to add if you didn't get the dingo and the baby reference (which is ironically also a 97.1 call station):

The Simpsons memes are glorious

I listened yesterday in the afternoon segment and it was just Jeffrey Cavanaugh talking about random crap that is boring and not funny or cool and zero sports. This morning they at least talked about the Mavs for like 3 minutes before just rambling on about random crap nobody cares about. Are there no programming scripts or agendas they follow? It feels like a bunch of guys just ad-libbing topics in their basement pirate ham radio. I'll give it a couple more tries but maybe I'm not their demographic-- I actually like sports.

And so they spoke, and so they spoke..

I’m Team Green. I like the Aemond that’s come on the last two episodes the best of all characters who have had quadruple the time to impress.

Deon had his Prime Academy in Dallas, was an early investor in Prosper when it was farm land and has tons of acreage in East Texas. I think he still probably has a lot of business associates (lawyers, managers, agents, etc.) in Dallas where all the shop is talked.

Wait a minute. What a darn minute. Are you gonna sit there and tell me that the largest oil refinery in Texas, and probably America, the Motiva PA refinery, is owned by the Saudi's and is mainly used to refine their oil? No way we are getting cucked by Prince Bonesaw in our own home, right? I had to have read that wrong.

TIL: How Oil is made and what the Oil Window is. I'm gonna be an O&G genius in like two weeks.

Creed III Free Money Giveaway prop bet: Over/under how many times he says "unc"

I'm just mad because I'm dumb and thought we were going to do the "When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings" song from Buster Scruggs, don't mind me, I'll see my resentful-self out and go pout on the HotD thread.

Just googled this and watched the clip. Do people really think this is humor and entertainment the first time, let alone to re-create the experience online in an asynchronous sing-a-long? That little twerpy Indian guy is humorous though and I especially liked him on that Drake song. Can't get no more free, Randy!

I love Ballad of Buster Scruggs. One of my favorite movies of the last few years.

no link; was an email (newsletter).

Say no more: Well The economics of Costco rotisserie chicken Costco’s popular chickens have stayed fixed at $4.99 for more than a decade — even in the face of raging inflation. But it’s come at a cost.

Preach it brother-- been saying this for years.

Kroger and Albertsons merging? Cute. I'm still sore from Albertsons ruining Jewel Osco.

I think the point was to show "hey remember Daemon's whore who has decided to claw her way up the ladder from her station?" along with uncovering the spider whisper network that exists in the Red Keep and moving the Larys plot forward where he will play both sides as a cunning player. It was all pretty clunky and I'm not talking about her accent.

Gotcha. And the whole Aemond vs Aegon thing was just further character development and informing the resentment and stewing that will occur to drive Aemond's story forward (along with the foreshadowing of his cutting gaze during the coronation)? Thanks for the explanation and that all follows, I just still think it's stupid and not good writing or TV. Otherwise no issues with the episode. Wait, one more issue. I got what the show was trying to do with the reveal that the council was scheming the whole time and there was a council within a council planning for when Operation London Bridge happens, but it was a miss for me. It just didn't "pop" enough, if that makes sense. The table was set for it to do so and you say a faint resemblance of what could have been and had it been executed better, I think it would have really brought some energy to the episode that would have crescendo'd into the dragon crashing the party, rather than it be a low-energy episode hovering at a 2 or 3 and then spiking to a 10 in the last minutes.

How would Otto would have had that authority? By proxy of telling Aegon to decree it? For two people who are at odds, but are clearly interested in a somewhat loving co-existence as father/daughter and hand/queen(-mother) and who will live in a shared space and see each other in the hallways and dining rooms, it doesn't seem like Otto and Alicent's scheming and being the first to get to Aegon was that urgent and final. Anyways, if that was the plot design and intent, it's a big miss and a no for me, dawg. That said, the Miserya thing was pretty straight-forward in that she recognized the Prince, knew he would be in demand as her informers let her know the king was dead, so she kidnapped him for leverage so she could make her silly demands in her silly accent.
