  1. Am I misunderstanding this decision or does this completely neuter any need for a national signing day? If there's nothing binding the player to she school, who gives a fuck if "recruit x is in!" As a fan of a team likely to benefit among the most from this structure, there really needs to be something that binds players to schools.
  2. No time to watch, too busy using my Jew powers to guide this hurricane towards Florida.
  3. Cook does some weird shit. Don't think I've seen a single poll with Baldwin behind.
  4. NYT has gone so far off the rails this cycle that I have no idea if we are supposed to view these polls as complimentary, however Harris +3 nationally in a Florida Trump +13 environment would be great news in the swing states and mean a likely runaway electoral victory.
  5. Anytime anyone wants you to believe these betting markets are worth worrying about, please note that the current most likely scenario according to those users is a GOP electoral college win of 65-104 votes. https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/8077/What-will-be-the-Electoral-College-margin-in-the-2024-presidential-election
  6. Remarkable how incapable any of them are to indicating that they might have a spine.
  7. Mark Zuckerberg would be publicly hung in front of a live Fox News audience if he endorsed anything remotely like this.
  8. Yeah.. by nuking everyone who looks like you, lady.
  9. I’m not a particularly religious person, but if I was, wouldn’t it seem like a pretty strong sign that God has slammed two hurricanes straight into the state where one of the presidential candidates currently lives? I guess you can just wipe that away by claiming Democrats can control the weather…
  10. Okay but for real, what’s the deal with the chyrons on these pics?
  11. If you need to score chick flick points, "Nobody Wants This" is very good. Made me laugh out loud multiple times throughout the series. Jonah from Veep and Willa from Succession steal the show.
  12. I saw a pretty convincing video that showed him hitting his ear on the holster of one of the SS agents when they ducked down, which could have caused the bleeding. Honestly seems plausible as hell when you rewatch the footage.
  13. “And here’s why that’s bad news for Kamala”
  14. I will cast my vote for anyone who promises to disable pre-sunrise Blue Alerts.
  15. Rome is getting one of the strongest “YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE THIS GUY” edits I’ve ever seen. I trust that means his downfall will be hilarious.
  16. Brave of you to assume the average American possesses the critical thinking skills needed to analyze that information. In reality, most will just think “Biden = president, forgiveness = blocked, therefore Biden is at fault. #MAGA”
  17. I think it’s likelier just an attempt to provide suburban women cover to vote Republican.
  18. Their daughters are exponentially more likely to be gunned down by a boy in their school than have to face one in a sporting event, yet you clearly see where their priorities lie.
  19. Purely from a strategy standpoint, any single player that can result in 4 automatic wins seems like a good investment.
  20. They ran the same story everyone else did: a retroactive account strictly from Payton’s point of view. Maybe I’m jaded, but I, personally, find it hard to believe that in the year 2022, a transgender high school student could go around partially paralyzing blonde high school athletes in a county that Trump won by 40 points and there be absolutely zero public discussion for over 7 months. Edited to add: my response is veering towards attacking the victim, which is not my intent at all. I’m merely attempting to point out how there’s a lot about this story that seems like it warrants further investigation, yet instead it is being used as yet another irrefutable data point to inflame the culture war.
  21. Murphy is a town in western, ruby red NC with a population of 1600. It doesn’t strike you as odd that a girl on the high school volleyball team was knocked unconscious during a game by a transgender individual, suffered a brain bleed and partial paralysis… and nobody talked about it? There was no local news coverage? No angry viral Facebook posts about this transgender menace running amok in small town high school volleyball games? And why does the video stop right after the hit? Is there no footage of her lying unconscious on the ground? No footage of her body contorting into a “fencing position” (her words)? Surely that would be compelling footage for anyone supporting the cause. I’m not saying she’s a liar. I’m saying there’s absolutely no desire to look into this stuff because it scratches that “feels true” itch that so many seem to desire with this issue. I understand the safety concerns. Logically they make sense. But shouldn’t it say something that your only cited example of danger is a lightly sourced, 7 second video of a spike that resembles something you would likely see if you walked into any high school gym in Houston this weekend?
  22. 1) Her social media (which was not created until after she graduated high school) reads like a stereotypical right wing personality. Not discrediting in and of itself, but certainly notable. 2) The only evidence of this is a 7 second clip where a tall player spikes the ball into Payton's face. As far as I can find, the opposing player has never been named and this entire story is basically contained to right wing news publications and purely based on word of mouth from Payton. 3) Her injuries were so severe that she was playing basketball, and posting highlights to hudl, within two months: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18432580/Payton-McNabb/highlights Again, there is a severe lack of curiosity with any of this. It's just pure rage bait, through and through.
  23. 1) ideally Hader wouldn’t have been used yesterday so he’d be more rested and unfamiliar to Detroit 2) Given that 3 of the first 4 batters in the 8th were scheduled to be lefties, not to mention it’s the top of their order, analytics would argue that Hader should have pitched the 8th from the start
