This week, data analysis firm SuperData released its latest annual review of how games fared financially in the past year. Unsurprisingly, its findings revealed that Epic Games’ battle royale shooter took the top spot, pulling in an immense total of $1.8 billion in 2019. That’s a 25% drop from the $2.4 billion Fortnite made in 2018, but that’s still a large enough haul to put the game well ahead of the other games in SuperData’s “top 10” list, including popular titles like League of Legends ($1....

The parasite threatened local residents with weak immune systems, but for most people “the body fights this off in about a week,” says Dr. Thomas Schlenker, medical director of the Milwaukee Health Department. Officials were relieved that shrewd lab work isolated the uncommon parasite only two days after epidemiologists learned of the outbreak. Such painstaking identification can drag on for weeks. So can the incubation period. More cases of Milwaukee’s revenge will likely show up through mid-April, but by the weekend one reassuring sign of normalcy returned: Milwaukee County threatened to sue the city, seeking to recoup sick pay it expects to dole out to county workers....
