ALT Pete Crow-Armstrong, Chicago Cubs - 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases! Pictured: Cutouts of PCA homering and sliding into a base. Flames emit from the end of his bat and ice trails behind him as he slides. The outside of Wrigley Field is blurred in the background with a dragon flying overhead and a bear below the Marquee.

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Illinois was ready to move this bill forward.
After a productive three hour meeting yesterday, the Bears leaders requested the ILGA pause the hearing to make further tweaks to the bill.
This morning, we were surprised to see a statement lauding Indiana and ignoring Illinois.
