I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

The Detroit Lions ran the ball on 3rd and 5 for the TD.

Unsurprisingly, of every team in the NFL with 10+ rush attempts on 3rd and long, they’re the only one to convert 60% of them.

Football Twitter migrating over to Bluesky makes me so happy. Hopefully this can stick around and I can leave behind the cesspool that is X
