It’s Shark Week, so here’s a light piece from the Before Times w/ a very silly headline, an also silly Trump lede, an extensive ode to sharks, a look at the problems of Shark Week itself, & a paragraph transition that really shouldn’t work but kinda does.

Further shark content: the sharks that can live to 400 and have parasitic crustaceans hanging off their eyes theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

...and these sharks that get wrecked by orcas. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

All this from when I used to write about actual sharks instead of writing about the ongoing national jumping of the shark.
