Things you might want to know, for Feb 18, 2023:

• Watch a Florida woman fight off attacker in gym of apartment complex (video) — Just remember, ladies… always shout “Hey Siri, call 911” while bashing your attacker’s face in with your phone.
• Meghan Markle: Blasted as Harry’s “B-tch Wife” In Brutal South Park … — I’m guessing that JLo, Kanye, and JonBenet’s parents all figure Meghan got off easy.
• A movie trailer editor deconstructs iconic trailers
• Ray Liotta to Receive Posthumous Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — I didn’t properly memorialize Ray when he passed, but Goodfellas and Cop Land were two of the best movies of the ‘90s, due in no small part to Liotta’s work.
• A new mainline Civilization game is in development at Firaxis — About damned time. I bought and/or played Civ VI on three different platforms, but never had as much fun with it as Civ V. I hope the next iteration is more streamlined.
• FBI says it has ‘contained’ a cybersecurity incident on its network — One of these days, an “incident” won’t be “contained” at a major defense or law enforcement agency, and the effect across all of society will be chilling, to say the least.
• M3gan’s unrated cut is coming to Peacock
• The NBA app is going to let you digitally possess a live player — If you spend years involved in tech, eventually you realize that a great many things are done simply because they can. This is one of those things.
• The Case for Sleeping With Stuffed Animals as an Adult — It can easily be summed up this way: all the good girls do it.
• Twitter to charge for SMS-based two-factor authentication – How to use Google Authenticator instead — DO refuse to give Space Karen your money for access to a secure login experience. DO NOT use fucking Google Authenticator if your OS has built-in multi-factor authentication, like iOS/iPadOS/macOS.
