There are 136 teams in FBS. I could give you 135 guesses. You will not guess the one team that spent $50,000 more on fireworks than any other.

And yes, we have details on UMass' 45-0 field goal pyrotechnics in here, too.

Apparently Jay, the CDC’s acting director, announced 240 hours of telework for staff… and Lynda Chapman said, β€˜NOT TODAY, dear.’ 😀 She’s insisting staff are capped at 80 hours a year.

She is challenging the decision her leadership made. 🫒

Whose side are you on? πŸ‘€

I’m an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics β€œScientists are often encouraged to avoid politics. But this advice is outdated, if it was ever correct in the first place,” writes Jenna Norton, NIH whistleblower.

A heads down approach will not save science. We need to speak up, live our values, and demand integrity.

Democrats ask what happened to millions earmarked for Trump’s library ABC, Meta, Paramount and X reportedly agreed to pay at least $63 million in settlements with the president. The original fund was dissolved last year.

Big Tech and Big Media donated some $63 million to a Trump-aligned nonprofit that was set up to help finance Trump's presidential library.

Now the nonprofit has disappeared and with it the money.

Three guesses on where it's gone.

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s β€œthe right of the people,” not of citizens.

We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.

The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The missles in this video cost more than that.

Yesterday, a lot of folks clocked this as market manipulation by screenshot and backspace.

Looks like someone in the White House made billions.

Beyond the fact that this is a stupid take, I found something interesting. Sam here has 250K followers on Twitter and only 33K here but his ratio (and overall interactions) is much much higher here. What I'm saying is sports Twitter is done and all the big leagues need to realize THIS IS THE PLACE

The Sports Guy: An L.A. Tale Kobe Bryant could have scored 80 points against the Mavs and Bill Simmons says he's an idiot for not trying.

I was 21 and devouring everything related to Kobe.

These two articles absolutely stick out like sore thumbs in my mind forever.

A lot of people who loved Bam passing Kobe also hated Kobe.

A lot of people blasted Kobe for 81 and how many shots as well as his general style of play.

Like I think the bigger story is the amount of total shots attempted in the context of the second half.

I have literally watched something like 5 hours of this DOGE bro testimony. I'm completely obsessed, it's weirdly captivating. The circular arguments, the disdain from everyone involved, a true pleasure to watch
