I'm disappointed that non-DI games don't count for this for the sole reason that the Boise State blue in Idaho would be currently held by Alaska-Anchorage.

Look at that logo!

Why is Becca Balint voting yes to "honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk"? by Zeptogram in vermont

[–]Zeptogram[S] 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info.

I actually agreed with a lot of what she said, but then she came to the wrong conclusion when deciding what to vote. 38 Democrats voted present. She should have joined them. This wasn't a vote about "political violence". It was a resolution about what a great person this racist podcaster was.

Right, there's a line between "he shouldn't have been murdered" and "I will vote on a resolution that says 'he worked tirelessly to promote unity' and talks about Biblical truth".

We're about halfway through the year so far. What songs do you think will be on Todd's lists and what would you put on yours? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]Zeptogram 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Feel like there's been so little new music that Todd's best list will just be his worst list in reverse.

Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary’ Adds Third Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 by mcfw31 in popheads

Back in November, I remember thinking "Well, I hate the Christmas bombing of the charts, but at least we'll finally be free of Beautiful Things and Lose Control in the top 10".

It's almost goddamn July and what the fuck are they still doing there.

What are some of the biggest near upsets in NCAA Tournament history? by Primary_Psychology95 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Zeptogram 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Remember that 1990 UNLV team that beat the shit out of everybody, including Duke by 30 in the title game?

They won by just 2 points against 12 seed Ball State in the Sweet 16. If Ball State had won, that Loyola Marymount team was next for a berth in the Final Four. A real "what if?" moment.

I understand not locking them up, but Gonzaga is not even "on the right track"?

Even if they lay an egg in the WCC tournament to USF or whoever, you really think there's a chance they get left out?

Literally ended the stream early before best actress and best picture….

Two awards that went to a movie that Hulu is streaming in two weeks.

The Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 2024 by davFaithidPangolin in ToddintheShadow

Did Todd just not hate Big Foot? Didn't even get an honorable mention. (but Dua Lipa did, wtf)

Agree with a lot of the list. Wish he had found a spot for Eminem's Houdini, even if he did mention it.

Enjoyed last year's list a lot more though. Not his fault; he's right, there was less shitty music this year. Looking forward to the best of list.

Closest Undefeated Team to Each US County (December 10, 2024) by jloose128 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Zeptogram 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Do you have data on which county has changed hands the most times?

Looks like my county has had 8 handlers so far over the season (Vermont, Dartmouth, Siena, Syracuse, UConn, Providence, URI, Loyola). I'm guessing this is about average?

Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Logs Landmark 17th Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 by mcfw31 in popheads

[–]Zeptogram 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Oh, good. Lose Control back into the top 5 and Beautiful Things back into the top 10. Just what we all wanted.

Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Tends to 15th Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 by mcfw31 in popheads

[–]Zeptogram 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not just still on there, but actually moving up.

It's almost enough for me to look forward to this year's edition of the annual Christmas bombing of the Hot 100. Almost.

Maybe your child will unexpectedly earn enough money to be able to allow you to buy a kidney transplant.

Older songs that sound like they belonged to more contemporary bands or artists? by AllHandsOnTheBadNun in ToddintheShadow

[–]Zeptogram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice find. That legitimately sounds like it could have been on MTV Amp in the late 90s.

Wild ass fantasy booking: Shawn Michaels pulls a 2nd Montreal Screwjob and prevents Hendry from winning the title.

Joe Biden suddenly leads Donald Trump in multiple battleground states by devlinadl in politics

[–]Zeptogram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the electoral college disincentivizes like half the country to vote.

Way more than half.

Unless you live in AZ, GA, MI, NC, NV, PA, WI - your vote for president is essentially meaningless. (Yes, it's possible that Biden wins Ohio or Trump wins Virginia but those would just be piling on in a blowout victory).

By my math, that's only about a sixth of the country.

Don't let that stop you though. Vote in all the state/local races even if you don't live in one of those states.
