I forget the exact statistic, but an overwhelming percentage of Super Bowl participants have had the bye, making it a fast track to the big game. Being a 3 or 4 seed was a kiss of death, as you almost always had to go through the 1 or 2 seed. No byes at all would even the (figurative) playing field a bit; the 1 seed would still have to play the "worst" playoff team, so it's not like there's no advantage, but the bye gives top teams a little too much in my opinion. Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how the schedule plays out this year.
Any big upsets on your radar?
It'll be the Saints' luck that we get pistol-whipped by the Bears.

tunneljumper LinkWent to vote early today in MN, there was a line around the block. I counted five pickups drive by with obnoxious Trump decals and flags, driving through a primarily black neighborhood. ::think::Went to vote early today in MN, there was a line around the block.

Not all of the members are gay but the main mind behind the group is, and they talk about being black and gay in a lot of their songs. Plus the line I coulda got a job at McDonalds, but I like curly fries / that's a metaphor for my life, and I like taller guys is so clever I can only laugh.
Car Seat Headrest is much more subtle in how singer-songwriter Will Toledo expresses his sexuality, but lines like It's been a year since we first met, I don't know if we're boyfriends yet remove any ambiguity.
Those are the first two off the top of my head, I'll see if I can think of any others that haven't been mentioned yet.

The Soft Moon: "Deeper": not sure how to describe this but I like it.
Sidenote, does anybody know how to scrobble to last.fm from Apple Music on mobile?

I'm not sure if he knows that I know what that is, but the writing is on the wall: false rape accusations, QAnon, craniology as a justification for racial superiority, Joe Rogan, you name it. He's constantly attempting to derail conversations by talking about the "low-IQ Africans" we work with (his words not mine), the "cabal," things he heard on JRE therefore they must be true, Holocaust denial, shit like that. I think most of us have called him an outright racist at least once (including my store owner overhearing him), but I don't think it phased him. Do I confront this? What should I do?

How do you feel about the M1 Air? I just bought mine and so far I'm in love with the design and obsessive attention to detail but there's also some real head-scratching UX decisions imo.
