That’s approximately 167 five-year R01 #NIHGrants worth of taxpayer dollars.
A reminder Don, Jr. has been awarded $600m in defense contracts despite have no established ability to deliver.
Trump’s “fraud crackdown” list is a political hit list. He targets his critics and attacks the watchdogs who actually root out waste. Meanwhile, he continues to pardon allies who stole millions from taxpayers. The real fraud is pretending Trump is helping the American people.

The fact that the media narrative is all about how boring we are or how anti-football we are or some other shit, instead of this, is telling. Any other club, the story would be this, it’s the kind of shit books will be written about because it’s a goddamn fairytale story.
“That a former club captain with no managerial experience has led the club from the (relative) doldrums and looks on course to deliver a first league title in 22 years.”
There’s a really great story happening here if we can just slow down and appreciate it (obviously easier said than done)

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited!
- `filter_out()` for dropping rows
- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools
These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

Winter lays bare all the ways our communities fail anyone who is not in a car
Day 8 - lanes for cars have been clear for days, but sidewalks and bike lanes are still completely impassable, forcing people to walk in the road on a 6-lane highway to get across the river.

Arsenal as a club have put so much into growing the women’s game for decades, so the world/intercontinental champions accolade is something they wear well.

I don't like Ledo's and I have never heard anyone refer to this type of pizza as "Maryland-style". I take exception to this. Maryland deserves better

I have to say that I've enjoyed seeing people walking, playing, chatting right in the middle of snowy streets; a bit of levity & togetherness, for once not interrupted by an angry, unending, unyielding stream of cars slicing through our otherwise quiet neighborhoods

I saw the post from Pretti's local bike shop and decided to support them by buying some merch. It appears many in the cycling community had the same idea.
