New: FBS oversight committee says it cannot overturn the Michigan-WMU ending. "The committee agreed that the instant replay protocols were not followed in the contest’s second-to-last play. Had the protocols been followed, the outcome of the game would have been different."

Texas is delaying its typical September 1 release of maternal mortality data until December 1, conveniently timed to be after the midterm election. Recent reports have shown a sharp rise in ectopic pregnancy deaths after the abortion ban went into effect. www.austinchronicle.com/news/texas-p...

I'm not happy about the game result, but if Western and the MAC accept the result, we roll with it. I hope the lesson taken from this is that every damn broadcast should have the replay centers mic'd. Absolutely bizarre decision by the B1G to say they were doing it only for Friday games this year

Also the Spartan Bob situation was correctly officiated (at least on that specific play, the refs actually made a massive fucking mistake that cost MSU a timeout leading up to that moment)

Also, if you're wondering about fractional seconds, the clock rolls over when there are no fractions left. 0.1 seconds renders as 1 second. So 0 really mean no time left

There is something kind of bleakly funny about how much time and ink was spilled about how we'd moved past the GWOT and Forever Wars and come to terms with our mistakes and entered a new phase of politics and then every time a Muslim shows appears on TV the media snaps back to 2003 instantly.

Frankly I think it would be a failure if Democrats don't message to as many people as possible that they should vote in person. The risk of fuckery is so high that you should go in person unless this is physically impossible for you

ESPN is showing a high school football game and it's just a catastrophe for one of them early on. Two TDs surrendered, no 3rd down conversions, fumbled a punt for a TD, and just threw a pick deep on their own end

it is in fact just the media, which has devoted more attention to this than it has to the fact that multiple republican lawmakers are dealing with “we hired nazis” scandals and that the “we hired nazis” problem extends to the white house

No, I don't favor letting Laura Loomer use ICE to punish her intra-fascist enemies. But I do remember Yiannopoulos showing up to Berkeley threatening to publicly name and target undocumented students to encourage ICE to go after them... in order to whip up opposition to letting him speak...

Regarding that second section: After living through an AIPAC funded ad spree, these were my observations 1. They funneled their money into PACs which obscured that they were funded by AIPAC 2. None of their ads ever actually focused on aid to Israel. They never made a case for their side

I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.

I have come to believe the way forward on this stuff is to just relentlessly pivot and stay on message when someone asks “do you disavow X” you just twist it into e.g. “I think the american people care a lot more about the corruption in the white house, don’t you?” don’t give them an inch

Have you seen any reporting on how solar power generation in the USA is 5 times higher than it was in 2020 in mainstream outlets? If not, why do you think this is not being widely covered the same way other large technological changes are?

Tears have been drawn on all the kids' faces.
