I used to see Everett True every day on Reddit’s vintage comics subreddit. Fun to see him again!

As someone who has lived in three different boroughs in NYC, I am so thrilled by this. I loved the NYC of the first one but didn’t like that it was just Manhattan, when comics Spider-Man lives in Queens and sometimes goes to Brooklyn. Great decision to expand it.

Yes, rambutans are delicious.

I’ve been there! I agree with the previous commenter that this is a very selective shot, but being there does make you feel like Lara Croft for a second.

But if that doesn’t satisfy you there are lots of other temples in the complex that are more genuinely secluded, where there aren’t people looking for a photo op right behind you. Angkor Wot has more than a hundred ruined temples.

Concord grapes. You all know the flavor, because it’s the flavor that artificial grape flavor is based on, but I’ve only seen the real things in farmers’ markets in the Northeast US. They’re only available for a short period, and they’re amazing. A blend of intensely sweet and intensely tart.

Huh, and this weekend I saw “Talk To Me”, which didn’t even make the list. Good movie, though.

This all makes sense to me. A big part of the reason I canceled my cable subscription way back in the day was that I knew I was paying a lot for ESPN, even though I never watched it, and they wouldn’t offer me a package that didn’t include it.

I haven’t read them myself, but I understand that “Gideon the Ninth” and its sequels are heavy on meme humor. Some reviewers love them for that, others hate them for that, but they all seem to agree that it’s there.

I had shakshuka for dinner tonight too. It was greens-based rather than tomato-based but still delicious.

I just reached down to pet my kitty and he groomed my glasses so I’m on board with this.

It stands for “Really Simple Syndication”, but you don’t need to know or care about that part.

The part that matters is that you get news from places you trust without the algorithm BS. RSS lets you subscribe to any website you want, and you see all of their new posts, in reverse chronological order, no algorithm. You can (if you have a good reader) filter out subjects you’re not interested in, and just see the stuff you care about.

I recommend trying out Feedly (feedly.com) with a few sites you already follow, and going from there.

How could you do a Red Dead Redemption 3, though? Like, this article is all just “technically, it would be possible and could look nice”, but how could it work from a story point of view? The only thing I could think would be to go even farther back in time, because John Marston’s story is completely done, and we’ve seen as much of Arthur’s story as we need to.
