This… Is BGNN

Things you might want to know, for Feb 25, 2023:

• Joe Exotic: Refusing Cancer Treatment, Planning to Die In Prison, Sources Say — Joe’s whole life has walked the line between hilariously ridiculous and pathetically sad, so I don’t expect his death to be any more graceful or quiet.
• I invited strangers into my home to try a VR treadmill. I survived, and they absolutely loved it — Of course they loved it… if everyone had thousands to spend and gigantic play spaces, VR would be a mainstream thing right now.
• Every new movie you can watch at home this weekend — More importantly, on Saturday night, there’s a livestream on Telegram you might enjoy…
• Amazon Has a Donkey Meat Problem — The headline alone deserved a link.
• Scientists find evidence of a new layer at the Earth’s inner core
• Mammoth is a new free Mastodon client for iOS and macOS — This is an odd one… in order to smooth the onboarding, the developer seems to be running their own Mastodon server. Which, okay, that’s a solution… but I don’t see it being viable for very long.
• Newsrooms Drop ‘Dilbert’ Cartoonist Scott Adams After Racist Comments Made on Livestream — Scott Adams was never particularly funny, and as he has descended into the incoherent nastiness of his dotage, he’s escalated to Full-On Scumbag. Your day is done, Dilbert.
