    While Florida State and ACC officials wait for a North Carolina judge to rule on whether their case should proceed there, FSU’s attorneys on Wednesday filed a new response in Leon County Circuit Court accusing the conference of several “misrepresentations” to the court and also making it plainly...

    The One Stop Football Thread (NFL,CFL,CFB)

    This could be interesting: Team owners on Tuesday approved a new rule that will take what essentially had become “a dead play” and make it an integral part of the game again.

    French have well earn rep for being narcissists, kind of annoyed at US involvement regardless of how much we're pouring in, punch hard and hard to hit back on land, aren't impacted by Ukraine war, sending troops is more viable now that Europe needs to change, France isn't going to suffer from...

    Honestly, with Vivek getting on Team Trump, there's a non-zero chance he'll be put in charge of doing stuff like that, which is the best of both worlds.

    Japan has raised its interest rate to 0.1%, after 17 years of not doing interest rate hikes, the 1980s socio-economic policy fucked up purchasing decisions by incentivizing waiting on buying things, 30 years of flat/negative consumption, industrial base has been offloaded to other countries...

    A Chance Encounter (Robotech/New Battlestar Galactica

    TBH, if I didn't know you were giving the Cylons some serious warships, I'd think Roslin was panicking, because the regular 2nd war era basestars are glass cannons. They are very non-credible in an offensive role, and it's really only due to their Raider spam and ability to jump in on top of the...

    Peter talks about how population shrinking doesn't help at all, even with climate change: -The only way there's any chance of any kind of economic growth is if percentage loss is around the globe equally -18-45 year olds have kids and do the heavy consumption -45-65 year olds are mature...

    More gas on the fire if it's true: In court documents, Clemson claims that "the ACC did not hold a vote requesting that its members, including Clemson, approve of the lawsuit against Florida State. Nor has Clemson ever authorized the ACC's lawsuit against Florida State." Clemson is on Team...

    Clemson has joined the ACC lawsuit bandwagon: PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Clemson respectfully requests that the Court: 1. Enter a declaratory judgment declaring that the GOR Agreements are limited to only those rights needed to perform the ESPN Agreements and that the media rights Clemson...

    Ukraine is hitting Russian naval assets from longer distances with drone swarms, got past Russian defenses to do so, the newer Russian patrol boats suck against drones, lost a 5th landing ship - down to 50% landing ship capacity, Russian supply lines getting pretty thin to Crimea,:

    Tim Pool provides a good rundown of what the bill does: TL;DW: It forces divestiture of the specified thing and bans only if the company doesn't divest the US part. It does trigger libertarians because of past experience, but it's incredibly narrow in its tailoring.

    Not necessarily, but that's the logical consequence of what they're doing. In general, Congress has been shucking off responsibility to the administrative state and/or the judiciary for the past 30-40 years. Which "helps" when they can't agree on stuff (besides hating each other), because...

    So, quickly looking over the bill, because it's not horrifically huge for once, I noticed this big thing: (3) FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLICATION.—The term “foreign adversary controlled application” means a website, desktop application, mobile application, or augmented or immersive...
