Bears seem to be making the right moves in free agency with LBs Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards, G Nate Davis, and WR D.J. Moore. C and RT are still open questions along with the entire DL. Hopefully those needs can be addressed in the draft with the 9, 53, 61, and 64 picks.

Starting a (soon to be) public notebook on Tana to document the progress/process of building out my zine.

Got a little Airtable submission form set-up for the zine…

Bears have officially traded down from their No. 1 pick. Getting Carolina’s No. 9, No. 61, 2024 first-rounder, 2025 second-rounder, and DJ Moore (WR). Feels like a solid haul to me. All of the top OL prospects seem like they will still be available at 9 too.

Interested in Apple Music Classical as an easy way to find some nice background music, but I’m hoping it won’t then start influencing my recommendations and begin suggesting classical music in the regular Music app…

It’s a meager amount compared to what established short fiction magazines pay out for a full issue and also something I’d never make back… but the idea of being able to create something like that is a dream.

Now that I’m subscribed to some short fiction magazines, I’ve been thinking a lot about my half finished zine… thinking about potentially taking $500 to take submissions/commission some fiction, essays, columns, art, comics, etc. to motivate myself to put something together.

With Lonzo facing a third knee surgery, I think the Bulls need to start planning for what this team looks like without him, DeMar, and Vooch… the pieces, timing, and chemistry just never came together.

Confirmed: Jon Bernthal is returning to play The Punisher in the new Daredevil: Born Again series for Disney+.

Fired up Kinopio on my work laptop for the first time in awhile—opened up to an old journal space from last year and has me really missing doing that everyday in Kinopio.

It’d be nice if Heavy Metal could get their shit together. But maybe I should just go digital for that and 2000 AD.

Been looking at subscribing to a couple more sci-fi/short fiction magazines. Currently subscribe to McSweeney’s, Paris Review, Interzone, and Clarkesworld. Don’t know that I have the capacity for much more, but still considering adding Uncanny or Lightspeed (or Asimov’s)…
