  1. This is sick. One of the female lawmakers tried to get amendments passed before voting that all failed. These would have included prenatal and healthcare til the child is 13. Voted against. Make rape and incest victims exempt. Voted against. And finally making it a class C felony for men to get a vasectomy. Voted against. The republican party is evil. It just goes to show that once these babies are born, they and the morhers are on their own. Pro-birth, not pro-life. And rape and incest is okay. I guess its no surprise coming from a state that almost voted in a child rapist. Sharia Law: Christian Edition.

  4. Also a peek on how the sausage is made in the article "As you know, we share rights with ESPN for three of the five power conferences [Big 10, Pac 12, Big 12]," Mulvihill said. "The way that those rights are allocated is that the conferences themselves don’t decide what games will be on what network. That’s unlike the NFL, where there’s an NFL broadcasting department that puts the schedule together and they decide that Packers-Patriots is going to be on NBC and Cowboys-Eagles is going to be on Fox at 4:25. That’s a collaborative process, but in the end the NFL makes those decisions. "In the college draft, the conferences put together a game schedule [with the dates] but then we and ESPN sit down and actually choose game windows in the Spring where we’ll say — and we have the number one pick in the Big Ten draft — we’re going to take the first selection on November 24th. We pick that date obviously with an eye toward it being Ohio State-Michigan, but we don’t literally take Ohio State-Michigan. We just take the right to have the first choice on November 24th. And then ESPN will choose the right to have the first choice on a week in September. And we’ll come back and use our first pick in the Big 12 to take the number one pick in the first week of October which will be Texas-Oklahoma." Mulvihill says the process of slotting games and who gets what matchups can be exhausting for networks. "As the season goes on we’ll say, Okay we’re up to Week 7. We have the first pick. We’re going to use that first pick on Michigan-Michigan State," Mulvihill said. "ESPN then has the second pick, and they [hypothetically] thought they were going to use it on Penn State-Iowa, but because events on the field are unpredictable they’re actually going to use it on Wisconsin-Northwestern. Because you’re drafting windows and not actual games, once you get to the season in progress and you’re surprised by which teams are better than you thought and which teams aren’t as good as you expected, you can adjust and make sure that you’re getting the best game in the best window."

  5. Overturning Roe v. Wade to actually enforce this law would trample the woman's privacy and pretty much destroy the point of HIPAA. They'll probably argue we have no constitutional expectation of privacy and civil-liberty lovin' Republicans will shrug & look the other way. But, you know, I'm sure some stuffy old men know what's better for a woman medically than the doctor or the woman herself. Edit: I was far too nice. I'm in the medical field. I take this stuff very seriously. One of the principles they teach you in school is to respect the autonomy of the patient to make their own healthcare decisions. This obviously spits in the eye of that principle. Once again Republicans are trying to dictate people's healthcare to them. They're trying to bully and intimidate both women and their doctors into complying with their own ideology. F#ck that. What ever happened to the separation of church and state? This is legislating theology. The evangelical right needs to back the f#ck off people's healthcare choices.

  6. Thread I read on twitter the other day about why this ending isn't working. Essentially there are two types of storytellers. The plotters and I'm forgetting the other type. Plotters know the exact beats of the entire story, and while it is more coherent from start to finish, it can make characters feel wooden as they are forced from plot point to plot point. The other type just has the spine with like 2 or 3 plot points. They then write the story and make the characters act naturally to get to the minimal plot points they want. This can cause the story to meander into insignificant plots or ones that do not matter to the overall story. GRRM is the second type (which is why the books have become bloated and he's written himself into a hole he's having trouble getting out of), while GOT showrunners are the first type. So you have characters that act naturally for the first part of the story, but then in the second half you have them do stupid stuff to get them to the end they want. The writing also feels like they want to have their cake and eat it. They wanted the heroic Dany with all of the "foreshadowing" being followed up by making her actions feel triumphant, no matter how sketchy said actions were. So now they have her do something so reprehensible so that when/if she dies this week the killer is 100% justified. You can't have someone getting a lucky shot on Rhaegal during the siege, because then Dany would have a "good" reason to torch the entire city. Its the same reason why Dany also couldn't attack just the Red Keep (which makes way more sense than attacking the entire city). We had to see her as a villain even though the actions she took were something she actively avoided throughout the entire show.

  7. That's my understanding also. But I don't see how there would be any way to enforce it. Would the state be able to request medical records??? Would they just go off of word of mouth? Would they actually have the audacity to require a woman submit to a medical exam demanded by a search warrant? That is some disgusting stuff right there....

  9. This guy and the Alabama and Georgia votes make me think that there is a bridge too far. The swing of the GOP to the far alt right is on full display. I have got to think that brain cells die the further right these guys go. I am Pro-life - I believe the baby in the womb must be protected but I also believe that the women need protections as well. Pretty soon there will clean divide between abortion rights states and those which are not. If they boarder each other I expect clinics to spring up on the boarders of the abortion rights states to assist those women who will come in droves from the other states. Kind of like wet and dry counties back when liquor access was limited by legislation in some states after prohibition. I expect this overreaction will have the same outcome as prohibition. People will find other means to receive the services that have been banned. Pro-life state reps would better serve their community by instead of rushing to be the most far right position, that they instead rush to the other side of the isle and work with pro-choice reps to create workable solutions that would help the whole community.

  13. For college football fans within the Big Ten and Big 12, you may want to look away. FOX, which has first television dibs on all Big Ten games and several Big 12 contests this fall, plans to place its top matchup every Saturday in the noon timeslot, according to New York Post reporter Andrew Marchand. This is the network's latest attempt to unseat ESPN's College GameDay and the Worldwide Leader's early game as go-to programming for fans. Urban Meyer, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart are among the new analysts being ask to lead FOX's revitalized college football efforts as the media company tries to combat ESPN and CBS Sports for viewership. https://247sports.com/Article/College-football-2019-schedule-Big-Ten-Big-12-FOX-media-rights-132020272/

  21. I'd caution that Alabama Republicans are a breed all their own. They didn't flinch supporting a credibly accused pedophile for U.S. Senate. They're the most extreme of the extreme. Still, it certainly seems the onslaught against Roe is underway with all these incredibly restrictive anti-abortion measures being passed at the state level. They're certainly hoping one gets sent to the Supreme Court and Kavanaugh/Gorsuch do what they were sent there to do.

  23. Our penis I mean screen is around 110” if I recall and we have the walls covered in dark maroon felt and the windows covered in some fancy black material and I have a special pair of shoes I’m only allowed to wear inside the room so I don’t track any cat hair in. Also the toilet is made of gold and the toilet water comes from a melting glacier.

  24. I think this is what a large portion of people who aren't players and want this to happen care about, myself included. The potential downside to this is that you ruin the amateur aspect of college sports and IMO, college sports are much better than the pros bc of that aspect. I like professional sports but I would rather watch a college game than a pro game almost any day (aside from certain matchups).

  25. Problem is going to be ISPs holding bandwidth and access for ransom (See Netflix, Hulu) if it really does take off. Really need a net neutrality agreement so TV over IP can really take off and internet service can be regulated as a utility (which it's quickly becoming, if not already).

  28. Byron Marshall, their hybrid RB/WR, had 74 catches for 1003 yards that year (2014). The next highest reception total was 43. The point isn’t as much how many you target a specific guy, but how many total threats does the defense have to account. Mariota clearly had a favorite target that year, but they also had 7 guys with more than 20 catches. Nebraska had 2 guys with more than 24 last year, with third and fourth being Mo and Ozigbo. That’s a big problem regardless of whom those two guys are.
