Not gonna post polls because it's harder to conceal/tip my hand, but I will say that one of these polls is somewhat close so far while the other three are looking to be blowouts
Love to apply for jobs that won't even pretend like they're actually hiring
About the Job I don’t have the job posting yet Please paste the full job description you want rewritten. Once I have the original text, I’ll produce a clear, natural Markdown rewrite that preserves every specified detail exactly.
Also: Putting AI instructions in for the position details (different job than the threaded above), how exciting
Not to give any kind of legitimacy to the concept of betting on pop culture by a company too cowardly to post a (likely) paltry salary range (*rolls eyes*), but wouldn't a lot of this stuff be really easy to cheat/do insider trading with leaks and screeners or whatever?
About the job GOSS turns pop culture chaos into a game We’re building the internet’s home for bets on reality TV, celebrity moments, and viral internet culture from The Bachelor and Love Island to Bridgerton and beyond. Fans can call the shots on everything from who gets eliminated to which celebrity post explodes online. Whether it’s predicting Kendall Jenner’s Instagram engagement or the outfit that dominates the red carpet, Goss lets fans prove they saw it coming. Role Description: We’re looking for a Pop Culture Trader who lives and breathes entertainment, reality TV, and viral internet moments. This is a full-time remote, contract role for someone who will create and manage bets around trending pop culture moments. The Pop Culture Trader will create bets and related content around reality TV, the hottest new TV shows and movies, music, celebrity news, social media, and internet culture, and turn them into engaging bets that fans can participate in. This person will help shape the types of bets available on the GOSS app by staying ahead of pop culture trends, anticipating viral moments, and translating them into fun, creative, and well-structured markets.
You: How's the job hunt going?

It's Day 5 of Knit Madness, and we're kicking off Round 2 with the eight remaining cable-knit sweaters in the bracket knitflicks.beehiiv.com/p/knit-madne...
A mascot designed to look like a pork roll standing on a baseball field. It’s wearing a backwards baseball cap, pink tights, and black shoes. It’s smiling and both of its hands are giving the thumbs up sign.
And here is a bonus pork roll mascot, courtesy of the Trenton Thunder (my local minor league baseball team growing up), for you
Several pieces of sliced and cooked pork roll stacked on top of each other. They’re round pieces of pork that are eaten in similar situations of bacon (but have a very different taste; often sold in tangy or mild varieties). It’s also known as Taylor Ham, mostly in North Jersey, and what to call this round piece of meat is a very contentious debate among people who live in New Jersey.
A Trenton Tomato pie. It’s a type of pizza with thin and crispy crust, and which the cheese and other ingredients are placed on pizza dough first before the sauce goes on top.
I offer two from Central Jersey: pork roll (breakfast food) and Trenton tomato pie (hyper-local style, but 2 places that have it often get on national best-of lists).
Fortunately, some NYC stores sell pork roll now. NYC pizza is great overall, but most of what I’ve had so far hasn’t surpassed this

The Oscars are Sunday. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I paid tribute to 10 great movies from 2025 whose names we won't hear once during the show. Which is a shame.

For today's tease, here are the three polls—taken out of context from who's competing—with the closest margins. One has a four-point difference, the other eight points.
Question: Been a while since I’ve bought tea—not a huge fan; don’t drink it unless I’m sick, like right now—but I’ll be in need of some soon. What are some good recs?
Usually go with black tea + lots of honey. Have a basket for loose leaf, but mostly limited to what I can get at the grocery store
Former Pixar employee u/PixelatedRonin fires back at chief creative officer Pete Docter on Reddit over claims on LGBT storyline cut from 'Elio' (2025):
It's a slightly lower turnout this time so far—perhaps because it's the weekend?—so your vote might make even more of a difference!

If you're a powerful creative person, a moment will always arrive when you can do something a little brave that will help people, or refuse to. The book I'm working on right now is in part a history of who did what. All I'll say about this is, it never gets forgotten. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...
