Apparently no stats monitor, plus internet issues. And they're playing 8 men's games there over the next 10 days.
Also it's women's>mid-major men's>high-major men's.
I don't love how it sort of feels like they're doing it in that order so everything is hunky-dory by the HM men's ones.

Currently using the ESPN footage to review the end-of-half skirmish at the Greenbrier. Which makes sense, as it appears the possession arrow is literally a piece of paper.

After the election results last week Republicans don't want to add any more Democrats to their seats.
Big news: Indiana Republicans signal they still do not have the votes to re-gerrymander the state, and that the Senate won't convene the Senate after all in December.
Getting 1-2 seats out of Indiana was central to the GOP's redistricting-war math.

Indiana redistricting push likely dead despite White House pressure
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

Spare a thought for the elected Republicans in Missouri, who every day have to struggle with the fact that they hate Missourians.
NEW: Missouri Republicans are in a "bare-knuckle brawl" to create legal delays in hopes of sabotaging a citizen-led ballot measure aimed at blocking the state's new Trump-backed gerrymander ahead of a major Dec. 11 deadline.

as I said before, everyone keeps dancing around the fact that this is open nativist blood libel. This is how you legitimize mass dispossession, en masse, of an entire sub-population of a nation. And this is now an institutionalized belief in ostensibly the most powerful org in international finance.
Fed Governor Stephen Miran: "Cutting down net migration to 0, potentially even negative because of the deportations that have been occurring, I think is very deflationary."

Yesterday I learned that the US Navy has a tiara option for female sailors to wear in dress uniform and I for one think they are missing a huge opportunity for recruitment by not making this more well-known. I did not know the Navy had tiaras when I was picking my service branch. I feel cheated.

When I was a chancery court law clerk, we did one case about a parking spot at Bethany Beach that allegedly had been adversely possessed.
The Court of Chancery spends a lot of time deciding cases that involve multi-billion-dollar deals. Its equity jurisdiction means it also gets to decide things like who should keep Tucker the Goldendoodle (don't worry, he's not getting cut in half) courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...

There's way too much NYT discourse on here already but re: The Big Olivia Nuzzi Feature, I am pretty squarely against the Times thing of doing a long feature story about someone disreputable and doing it in that kind of arch "get a load of this asshole" tone. It's still a big feature about them!

I’m reminded of the case of Stephen Glass. After falling from journalism due to plagiarism he tried to become a lawyer and was denied for a lack of character and fitness (he also tried to understate his prior conduct to the NY and CA bars). That’s good! We should follow that example more!
generally speaking if you violate your professions’ core principles you should find another profession, and the compulsion to romanticize a fall from grace has no place in the real world. it is bad for everyone, including the offender.

Nuzzi, like TCW, exists as a kind of simulacrum of the midcentury public intellectual. Not even ripping off the writers of that era, but imitating a sort of half-remembered, half-invented idea of what those writers were sort of like and what their general vibe was.

Listen I’ve only played one Metroid game, the original Metroid II Return of Samus, where samus silently travels to a planet and attempts to commit genocide and the game encourages you with a counter noting how many of the target species remain alive. Prime 4 was never going to be for me
