the players should forfeit and threaten not to play again until Preyer snaps a ball to Lopez
ESPN and whomever is broadcasting UNC games each week should continuously show the faces of the BOT members responsible for this while the games are on screen. Maybe just thumbnails at the bottom on either side of the scorebug. They deserve the public shame more than the players do

It's really lucky in a handful of ways to get to go to a bunch of weddings. Exhausting at a point but I think it's a good expenditure of time and money if you are able. I try to enjoy this time of life with a lot of them
heard @alexkirshner.com say on this weeks SZD that we'll all miss weddings when they're no longer happening and felt that big time, i had one this year and there aren't many left in the friend group

the right spent the early COVID pandemic whining about how they weren’t allowed to do various things because of the virus, then, by scientific magic, our best minds quickly developed a medicine which allowed people to do those things ASAP.
and the right decided they hated that too. Still weird

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

it was not that long ago that a state trying to pass a transphobic law resulted in massive pushback and boycotts from groups like the NBA. now it's laundered by our supposed allies as "legitimate concerns"
it was not that long ago that "chatbot compares itself to Hitler and advocates openly and repeatedly for the Final Solution" would have been a career-ender but now the tech press just treats it like one more quirky thing created by our superiors in the tech industry
