Personally, I think the Tigers are closer to playoff contention than the Lions and the Pistons. Let me tell you why.

2020 has not been a great year for most people, and the world has now seemingly come to a stand still of weird emotions and occurrences. Throughout this, it is sometimes hard to feel sane and stay in a happy place. While some music is made to simply get lit to or keep you sad, now is the time to calm yourself.

Lil Baby recently released a track titled The Bigger Picture. Many have called it a protest song, and I certainly would as well.

The Texas law had been struck down by a deciding vote from since-retired Anthony Kennedy, who was often the swing justice on social issues like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights.
