Today I learned that there was a whole-ass variant of asbestos we hadn’t banned here in the US. Until today. And it’s still gonna take years for it to be gone.

Picked up Balatro on Steam, since I could play it on my Mac. I totally get the hype. Now…when there’s a mobile version…
Very excited to hear what Marvel has planned for the next era of X-Men comics.
Very cool that Hello From The Magic Tavern is getting an animated series. Also: Turns out Sam Rockwell has a production company?
Many are going to be eulogizing Akira Toriyama today. With Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump and his designs for Dragon Quest, he was a defining artist for many. I’d like to shout out his work on the Tobal games, which didn’t need to go so hard for a game best known for having the Final Fantasy VII demo disc.
Watching Kyle Kinane’s new special, Dirt Nap. Dude is one of the best going, hands down.
An ongoing mystery I’ve not yet been able to solve. Of all the emoji you can get engraved on Apple products…why is the humble rocket 🚀 not an option?
It says a lot that the bit I’m most excited about from this bit of news was the word Original when it comes to films.
Surprised, and a little bummed, that among the many many creators, Jonathan Hickman is not among those contributing to the final Krakoa-era issue of X-Men.
Toyota made a real Cat Bus with help from Studio Ghibli. I love it.
VERY interested in this Steve Martin documentary coming to Apple TV+. https://www.thewrap.com/steve-martin-a-documentary-in-two-pieces-trailer/
We had to know this was coming, right? If Nintendo didn’t think this was going to be a Hydra situation, they weren’t prepping correctly. https://www.gamesradar.com/barely-12-hours-after-the-shutdown-of-major-nintendo-switch-emulator-yuzu-replacements-began-surfacing-online/
Very excited to watch the new version of Shōgun when I get home tonight.
Power Stone turns 25 today. And there’s no better time than the present for Capcom to announce a remaster or new installment or something… https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/02/anniversary-power-stone-one-of-capcoms-forgotten-classics-turns-25-today

And that’s that. My time at the current job is complete. Wiped my laptop to mail back to them, and I start the new gig Tuesday. LFG.
There was a time when I considered making a go of blogging, taking my efforts and building it somewhere. Glad I didn’t.
Folks, I turn 40 this year. And I JUST NOW got that Firmware fits between Hardware and Software. Don’t let me vote.
Comics on the iPad, Premier League on the TV. Not a bad start for a Saturday.
Sitting here telling myself that even though it’s $300 off on Amazon, I don’t need an Apple Studio Display.
…the issue is, I really WANT one…
I think my favorite warning in the listing of various issues in a prescription drug ad is, “Don’t take [new drug you’re hearing about for the first time] if you’re allergic to [that drug].” A real help.
How did I sleep prior to the Calm app? This is like night and day.
The FTC is back for Microsoft. 1,900 people might get some sense of justice, I suppose.
I was a very big fan of Arcade Fire for a very long time – thought their most recent album was a return to form even! – but the allegations against Win Butler were absolutely atrocious in content. It’s fascinating to me that their move appears to be to…act like it didn’t happen and have anniversary shows anyway?
Had one of those evenings where I was just relaxing and using my iPad and recognizing how wild it is that I just have this pane of glass that gives me access to the world’s knowledge, every song ever recorded, most movies ever…
