With a court that has yet to find a precedent they aren't willing to overturn, I'm absolutely shocked that Obergefell v Hodges is safe (at least for now).

Here is my completely unasked for opinion on the end of the shutdown.
Senate Dems held their ground through the election hoping for 1 of two things:
1. Last week’s elections would sway Congressional R’s
2. If not, delayed/canceled flights over Thanksgiving would

Every school, law firm, media conglomerate, and corporation that bent the knee to Trump (especially those that embraced discrimination) needs to be investigated and individuals charged once we get the fascists out of power.

From my local city council special election, to Mayor of NYC, Public Service Commissioners in GA, Governor of NJ and VA, and the historic Prop 50 vote in CA.

The bears could’ve had Tyler Warren, but instead we drafted false start machine Colston Loveland.

At this point just tell the refs to call a false start literally every time they run it and be done with it.
Not reviewable. Doesn’t need a rule change. And the Eagles literally false start every time.

NFL executive Troy Vincent, at the league meeting, says the Tush Push continues to be tough to officiate. “At the end of the day, there is a team that still does it well.”
“From an officiating standpoint, we’re gonna try to get better when someone is in the neutral zone or leaves a little early.”

I didn’t realize until today, that I’ve been daily driving the same iPad Pro since 2018.
Apple really knocked it out of the park with the A12X processor.
Even the battery is still getting decent life.
I’d almost feel bad if it wasn’t 7 years old.

The AP poll continues to be a joke.
They finally rank 5-1 Nebraska, whose only loss is to ranked Michigan.
But put them below a Cincinnati that the Huskers beat in week 1.
It’s like these people don’t actually know CFB.

I'm watching the Cubs/Padres game and I'm having some weird issues. My video/audio are cutting in and out.
It doesn't matter if it's via Plex and the antenna in my house, or from my YouTube TV subscription.
I've tried using both my Wifi and 5G on my phone.

I’ll never understand why car manufacturers in the US went all in on the Tesla connector for charging while building cars with 800v battery architectures.
To get reasonable charging speeds you can’t even use a supercharger. Only CCS currently supports 800v and now requires a finicky adapter.

Yesterday I learned that our 3 year old dishwasher needed replacing.
Today I bought a new one, brought it home in my truck, and installed it myself. The first load is going now.
