Why on Earth is Gio being called in? Dude has played hardly at all and cannot stay healthy. Hard pass until he consistently plays for his club.
Bunch of guys injured, so why not. I assume this is his last chance to show something.

Who the ever loving fuck is Sean Zawadzki?

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this all afternoon. I’m utterly bewildered. It’s like something straight out of The Onion. Not one person involved could possibly have a shred of self awareness. Maybe this season’s script writers have a sense of humor after all.

Updated 9:33 AM CST, November 5, 2025MIAMI (AP) — FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award at the draw for the World Cup on Dec. 5 in Washington.
The award, called the FIFA Peace Prize, will “recognize exceptional actions for peace,” soccer’s governing body said Wednesday.
“In an increasingly unsettled and divided world, it’s fundamental to recognize the outstanding contribution of those who work hard to end conflicts and bring people together in a spirit of peace,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said.
FIFA said the award, which Infantino will present this year, will be bestowed annually “on behalf of fans from all around the world.”

Prop 12 passing tells you all you need to know about how stupid the average voter is. I did not see one positive endorsement of that proposition and it still passed 60-40.
A lot of these are meh in the big scheme of things, but 12 is pretty bad. It was the only one I was holding on to a shred of hope for. Alas. Like y'all were saying though, the text of these is such that you really have to do a fair amount of research to even know WTF you're voting for.

But we will see.
Don't worry. The lege pinky promise swears to make up those billions to public schools.

Sorry if already discussed - I'm not going to review all 9 pages of this thread - but why does everyone want to make grand inferences about what the NYC mayor race means for progressivism/Democrats/Trump and on and on without mentioning that Cuomo is literally a sex pest? From what little I know, I probably fall somewhere to the right of Zohran Mamdani on a lot of things, but I wouldn't vote for a guy that has been credibly accused of being a creep and resigned from his last job in shame as long as there's a reasonable alternative. Could it not be as simple as that?

2026 2nd, 2027 1st (Cowboys), and Mazi for Williams
I guess we had to overpay to get them to take Mazi off our hands.

Fucking hell. This has got to be one of the worst drafts in NFL history.
Bust, bust, injuries, out of football, career backup, out of football, career practice squad, career practice squad.

That’s at least the second person claiming to have been laid off after 30 or more years in IT. Shouldn’t someone with that profile have a ton of money? Or at least enough to use their own bootstraps and not be begging for help on day one?
We have a bunch of IT guys that have been around forever and can barely install a printer. I suspect those facts are related. I doubt they're raking in the coin. Not everyone is a ringer.

Simon and the Florida kid coming in should be a really good 1-2 punch next year. RB can contribute early. Then you have Baxter who isn’t an elite talent anymore but provides steady experience. I’d rather spend whatever NIL y’all are allocating to RB on OL. We need to completely start over on the interior and I don’t think some competition for Baker would be a bad idea either.
Of course we probably won’t actually do that, because we’re idiots.

When will the game time be announced? Not until next week?

He's not going to play. These reports are just classic smokescreen stuff.

Am I the only one concerned that Big Pharma apparently has enough money, power, and influence to actually intimidate this administration? I can't think of any other person/country/industry that has successfully gotten these dipshits to actually backtrack.
You've misunderstood the situation. Big Pharma "influenced" the administration in the same way that a local business "influences" its neighborhood mafia boss.

Is this really the underlying issue driving this nonsense? That people with non-functional critical thinking skills are now a suspect class and need government protection? That's what this ultimately boils down to, isn't it? Ensuring
dumbassesevangelicals get the same special treatment that groups who have suffered historical prejudice receive? Even women are not fully deemed a suspect class, but we're going to backdoor evangelicals into the strict scrutiny club by way of presidential fiat. Ameica isn't Americaning anymore.Inboden claims that academia is a "political monoculture" and his proposed solution is to create new departments that will attract conservative scholars. I really wish one of the interviewers would have asked him, "why not just hire the best professors for the humanities/history/social science/poli sci/etc department, period? why do their political beliefs matter?". What he's proposing is essentially affirmative action places for people who weren't good enough to already be hired on anywhere.

The good thing about these elections is they force you to put some degree of thought into them.
Pre-2016, I always at least made sure there weren't any glaring red flags to the D candidates, or some exceptional R. For candidates nowadays, all I have to do is see who Abbott and Co. are endorsing for "non-partisan" positions, pick anyone else, and my research is done.
I’ve voted in enough Republican primaries in the last few years that I’ve ended up on a lot of phone and mailing lists. My mail man probably thinks I’m a total nutter. It makes for a very convenient voting guide though. I just make note of the most virulent shit I get and vote the opposite. Endorsement of Patrick/Paxton/Hotze/etc? Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for posting that.
I find his assertion that universities "policing" themselves will keep outside political forces from interfering to be almost absurdly naive in this day and age. I suspect he actually knows better and is making that argument in bad faith.

I've kind of come around to the idea that the Cowboys should re-sign Pickens.
I mean, in a rational world, no, it makes no sense to have that much money tied up in 2 receivers when the defense needs so much help.
But in the actual world that we live in, Jerruh is going to plead poverty when it comes time to sign free agents anyway, so we might as well have a fun offense.
To put it another way, we can spend $30m and have Pickens, or we can spend like $6m on one year deals for past their prime defensive veterans while Jerry spends the other $24m on an Olympic swimming pool full of Johnny Blue. Neither one gets us any closer to the Super Bowl, but I know which one is more entertaining for me as a fan to watch.

I went ahead and registered for this draw too. Ain't no way us little people are getting tickets, though.

How does this make any sense?
1. Logistics - getting into the stadium is going to be a nightmare. Getting 45,000 people to a stadium already takes a long time and that's bringing people from all around. Now you are adding the need to get that group of people UP 75 stories along with the rest of the logistical nightmare. Good luck.
2. Wind - this is a known issue at upper floors of buildings. Let's ignore the building issues (sway and so many people at that altitude), but affect on the games played in this building? I have a feeling that wind would make the game really hard to play at that kind of altitude.
You're putting way too much thought into this. It's just a concept/money laundering scheme like their dumb "linear city" or whatever.

The Watch Fanatic Thread

My wife wants a watch with a rectangular face, gold case, leather strap, WITH date. Similar look to a Cartier Tank essentially, but I'm looking to spend no more than $3k. I've checked every brand I can think of and can't find it. Any ideas?
