Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong had the 3rd-best selling MLB jersey this season, dating to opening day, based on sales of Nike jerseys from Fanatics sites. Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge had the top 2 most popular jerseys.

Funny thing about competition: there's both a *pro*-market and an *anti*-market case for a competitive system. 1/
Three weird male figures' heads. The figures have gigeresque throats made from dripping stalagmites and stalactites, and their crania have been replaced with clear domes. The three figures overlap, each smaller than the previous. In the rightmost, largest dome is the portrait of Ben Franklin seen on a US$100 bill. The middle dome contains a 19th century bank with Grecian columns. The left dome contains the US capital. The background is a heavily processed monochrome image of wiring in an early mainframe.

Who else finds that when pain and fatigue levels are high, the effort required to get a few words out can be so much that you have to 'force' them out - which can come across as angry. Even when you aren't, at all. (Card from www.stickmancommunications.co.uk/product-page... )

"Be skeptical of unsourced or questionable-source news stories that you see on social media and try to confirm if they're actually true before sharing them" is excellent advice that does not just apply to April Fools Day.

Sharks DO get cancer, as in this Great White observed in 2014 near Australia. Every vertebrate species, with long enough observation, will display cancerous growth, because cancer is "baked-in" to multicellularity & the capacity for growth. Rates vary by species, but *cancer is a constant*.
Four images of two sharks, a great white showing clear growth from the lower jaw near the toothline.  The other a bronze whaler with a growth between the eye and dorsal fin.

"Figure 1 (a) Neoplasm on the lower jaw
of a 450-cm TL male great white shark.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

A word of caution for the months and years to come: Outrage is anger which arises from fear which is a deep-seated human response, and farming outrage for attention is not a partisan phenomenon. Before you spread it, double check your sources.

Americans generally say they're pretty happy with their health insurance, according to survey data from health policy research organization KFF — unless they're sick. Those with "fair" or "poor" health are nearly twice as likely to be displeased with their insurance compared to those with "good" health.
