Conference USA has no real reason to exist as a FBS level conference. I look at a game like tonight(Kennesaw State🆚FIU)&my head says "these teams belong in FCS."

It's a catch-all for the teams that weren't good enough&didn't fit in other conferences. #collegefootball

Yesterday I was watching Canada's main Thanksgiving parade (Waterloo, ON) on YouTube. (Used to watch on CTV before the cable provider dropped it.) The one stream I found had ~40 viewers&the commentator sounded like a male Canadian valley girl. After each float, "very cool, fer shure, eh?"

The social media manager tasked with putting the lipstick on this pig of a franchise has a most unenviable job.

The real issue here is why are these companies charging 30% of their customers' income? Any other industry except rent would see this as obscene exploitation. The subsidy just covers up the overcharging.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Interesting read: it turns out that classical autism and what we used to call Asperger syndrome may in fact have unrelated genetic bases, and that the "autism spectrum" is a myth.

Autism Is Not a Single Condition and Has No Single Cause, Scientists Conclude

Research reveals that those diagnosed with autism early show distinct genetic and developmental profiles from those diagnosed later.

I say this not as a judgment of the artists. I really like Bruno Mars for example&I'm not the only1since he's still putting out huge hits. The hip hop show in '22 impressed me. That said, Bad Bunny has hit the top 10 several times in the past few years yet I wouldn't recognize a single record of his

So far, we've had the following repeat artists at the Super Bowl halftime in the past decade:
- Bruno Mars (47/50)
- Beyonce (48/50)
- Justin Timberlake (35/38/52)
- Usher (45/58)
- Kendrick Lamar (56/59)
- Bad Bunny (54/60)

Meanwhile, no country acts since 1994.

Dare I say it's getting stale?

Taylor Swift won’t play Super Bowl halftime show, per reports

The NFL’s league office won’t be landing its dream Super Bowl performer this season. According to a report by British pop culture reporter Rob Shuter, the NFL’s talks with global pop icon Taylor Swift have “fell apart” after the singer was denied terms “that matched her influence.” An anonymous music executive told the pop culture Read more...

And only tangentially related, the How I Met Your Mother theme always reminded me of Tom Petty's "Christmas All Over Again." (Or vice versa.)

Great question... though TV themes themselves have gone so far by the wayside as well, the few that remain largely being short snippets.

I could imagine Curb Your Enthusiasm's theme being a 70s-style novelty, especially in the UK.

And to think, that's probably what convinced RSO to bring him in for Grease.

But then again, we could have been stuck with Henry Winkler!

Friendly semiannual reminder:

#Equinox ⸻what we experienced today. The noonday sun directly overhead at the equator
#Equilux ⸻comes a few days later, when the night is the same length as the day. (The exact time&day of this varies by latitude)

The Canadian Football League just signed its own death warrant.

If they want to turn their game into the American game, might as well go full-bore and add the fourth down and cut to 11 a side at this point. The commissioner's proposal is already halfway to that.

Y'all may notice⸻ at least the handful of followers I have that aren't bots⸻that sometimes I use blatant "Unicode abuse" when my character count goes over 300. It goes back to when I was on Twitter circumventing the 140 limit.

Looks weird, but I'm engineering a custom font just for that purpose.

Considering how good the Ravens are, there is some comfort that the Bills did indeed whoop the snot out of a team they should be whooping the snot out of.

When I was younger, and unsuccessful at dating, I developed a fear that I was mismatched in the world, that there wasn't someone out there for me.

Now that I am older, and reading today's discourse on male/female relations (and lack of desire therefor), I'm dreading the fact I was right.

One thing I am liking about the Youtube telecast: the scorebug.

It's an actual box (ahem, Fox...), symmetrical, a clean typeface. Simple and effective. #NFL #KCvsLAC #NFLonYoutube

YouTube's first opening promo, and it's a reminder of its being the home of some of America's most insufferable personalities.
