hell of a read here

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

That is an AWFUL AWFUL call to start the game against Seattle. Garbage.

I know it’s raining, but Spencer Danielson’s quote this week that BSU can run the whole playbook without Madsen seems pretty dubious so far. Gaines meanwhile has put the offense on his back.

Chris Petersen making a C-walk joke on national TV and I am suddenly wondering if I’ve crossed into the twilight zone or if there’s a glitch in the matrix

Ending the week with a dead guy ale. RIP Rogue. www.beervanablog.com/beervana/202...

Maybe I should have known this before but ONLY 30 PEOPLE VOTE? WTF. What a joke.

Hard not to think east coast bias and time/visibility of games factored heavily into the AL MVP vote.

Pac-12 announced today it will partner with USA Network for football and basketball broadcasts (plus CBS, CW, CBSSN). Interesting note: Pac-12 will produce all games on USA. I know the line is blurred more than ever, but I'm always suspect of partisan broadcasts. Viewers not always served well.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain? MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

Rest peacefully, Lenny Wilkens. I got to work with him at FSN back in the day when he was an in-studio Sonics analyst. Just a gem of a guy, and a hell of a baller

NEW: Buried in 141-page text of the latest draft text of the Senate's ag appropriations bill is a restriction on hemp-derived THC products w/ >0.4mg per container—an effective ban on the existing market. Would go into effect 1yr from passage: www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Make banks rich again

Ugh, Huskies. What a mess.

‘End of an era’ just doesn’t seem like enough of a phrase. ☹️ www.farmersalmanac.com/end-of-an-er...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Nope

huh. this seemingly clears up a lot of my regular surprise at the nonsense that site feeds me when I'm just trying to find out what my friends are up to.

on Ovechkin's #900. wow, this is all-time villain stuff.

This video is bonkers, he seems unwell, but just to be clear about the history: The "nuclear option" to blow up the filibuster was a Republican idea. Trent Lott (R-MS) coined the term in 2003, and in 2005 Republicans used the threat of it to confirm several wacky federal court nominees.

Tough night for rural fire protection districts in SW Idaho and school bonds. School levies fared somewhat better - though a levy in Valley School Dist (Jerome County) appears to have failed by just a three vote swing, 276-280. We have a post with notable results coming at boisestatepublicradio.org

leftover/confiscated halloween candy > newsroom pizza. thank you for your attention to this matter

SCOOP: Idaho’s health department quietly declined the entirety of its annual $1.5 million federal Title X funding in April, leaving patients statewide without any access to the family planning program. One Idaho health district no longer offers contraception at all. From me:

Happy national sandwich day to those who celebrate

once they reach NPR, things kids say just die, right? RIGHT?

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

ummmmm WHAT. so many unwitting people about to get absolutely fleeced.

Honestly this crew has done a really good job and Joe Davis is very very good. And the baseball is riveting.

FOX is out of commercials and these Promos are our punishment

Just voted, I think I was in and out of City Hall in 90 seconds. Super easy, I wish I knew why turnout is so low.

Rest in Peace Jack DeJohnette. Listen to Bitches Brew today (and anything he did with ECM, Keith Jarrett, etc.)

This is far from the most important issue here, but the Ontario govt was under no obligation to "seek...permission to use and edit" any recording of Ronald Reagan that is in the U.S. National Archives/Reagan Library, as is the case here. And the Reagan Foundation has *no* relevant role here.

this restriction is fairly standard, for instance, local TV is limited on the number of minutes per day of video that can be shown from the NCAA basketball tournament. Local TV also often slides past the limit because enforcement is rare. network TV has different agreements, stronger enforcement.

there sure are a lot of notable happenings that the guy 2nd in line for the presidency hasn't heard of.

Excruciating

Don’t think I can handle another bad RISP game

it's so interesting when big music rights companies choose to enforce copyrights, with use like this is largely left to individual artists to criticize the unauthorized use.

Idaho power reports this approx 3,000 customer outage is "safety related" with estimated restoration at 11am.

most of west downtown Boise is without power this morning, lots of street lights out too. outage under investigation.

OMG FIND A GAP. Sheesh.

Grounding into inning-ending double plays with the bases loaded ain’t it, fellas. c’mon!!!! #goMs

Good seats for exhibition college hoops tonight

FIFA seems to be little more than a cartel these days

(ABC News) - The U.S. Labor Department is warning of a potential food crisis linked to President Trump’s immigration raids .. abcnews.go.com/US/family-fa...

Can I just say, Mariners manager Dan Wilson, when he was a player, used to come through the McDonalds drive-thru I ran in Seattle, in his minivan with his young kids, and he was always the nicest dude. A good sport about getting recognized no matter how exhausted I’m sure he was. Go Ms

We were actually getting somewhere, too. 😞 @sbmitche.bsky.social www.library.hbs.edu/working-know...
