For some reason, Goldy Gopher, mascot of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, is the special guest star at this lesbian wedding I am at.

BREAKING NOW: "all major world maps" on the online game GeoGuessr have been privated in protest of GeoGuessr's decision to participate in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh. map creators write that the EWC is used by Saudi Arabia "to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record." full:

We, the creators of a considerable share of GeoGuessr's most popular maps, have decided to make our maps unplayable in protest of GeoGuess AB's decision to host a World Championship wildcard tourney at the Esports World Cup (EWC) in Riyadh.
The EWC is a sportswashing tool used by the government of Saudi Arabia to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record.
Groups targeted by the government include women, LGBTQ people, apostates and atheists, political dissenters, migrant workers in the Kafala system, religious minorities, and many others. The subjugation of these groups is extensive and pervasive. Members of these groups are routinely subjected to discrimination, imprisonment, torture, and even public executions. These severe human rights violations are well-documented and indisputable.
By participating in the EWC, GeoGuessr is contributing to that sportswashing agenda, which is designed to take attention away from Saudi Arabia's human rights violations.

The GeoGuess community is diverse and includes many members of groups that would be harshly persecuted were they to live in Saudi Arabia. In solidarity with those currently residing in Saudi Arabia while being subject to oppression, as well as members of the community who would feel and be unsafe attending the tournament in Riyadh, we have decided to black out our maps by replacing all their previous locations with random garbage locations, rendering them unplayable.
This blackout includes dozens of creators and their maps, including a supermajority of the most popular competitively relevant world maps. It will continue until we see action from GeoGuess; specifically, we demand that GeoGuess cancels its wildcard event in Saudi Arabia and commits to not hosting any events there as long as it continues its oppressive regime.
You don't play games with human rights.
Thank you for reading.
The GeoGuess mapping community

Arizona and Kansas State combine to go 3-41 from 3. That's the fewest 3PM in a game with 41 3PA or more since at least 1997. But honorable mention to this beauty, where Duquesne and Lipscomb combined to go 1-40.

To the fellow bracketologists on here – why is UConn a 7 seed on bracketmatrix? I guess it's inflated from most brackets being from before them losing Saturday, but even the 1/26 brackets seem to put them primarily on the 7 or 8 lines. Is it inertia from last year or? #bracketology #cbb
