🏎️ Lewis Hamilton to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari for 2025 Formula 1 season — Sky Sports

I don’t pay too much attention to F1 and it sounds like there have been ties there for awhile, but this stunned me.

🖼️ Painting one playing card a week — @rileysheehey

Really cool project where Riley is painting one playing card from a deck every week of the year. Really beautiful. This specific post has text about the project, but they are all great so far.

🤖 Bard generates photos now, finally — The Verge

Didn’t actually read this… just posting to say, why “finally”? While they are far and few between, I do think there are interesting applications of AI and this isn’t really one of them given how many already exist, especially when you factor in Google’s infiite resources to do something new.

📽️ Will Ferrell Embraces the Transgender Community in Sundance Documentary — Variety

Excited for this. Hopefully it helps educate a couple people along the way.

💻 Best laptop of 2024 — Manu

Terrific stuff 😜. Should’ve included an image to help the ranks though.

💍 Mood Ring (Music Video) — Dehd

Oh boy, new Dehd album incoming! 2022’s Blue Skies was one of my favorites so I can’t wait for this, coming 10 May.

🐉 Here Is Your First Issue of Flaming Hydra

Really excited to see how this endeavor goes. Enjoyed both pieces today and look forward to many more.

📜 Project Tapestry — Kickstarter

I’m not sure how I feel about things of different importance coming into a single stream without any discenrable difference. I’d love to see someone crack that in terms of presenting microposts, blog posts, images, etc. with different weight across the stream.

⛈️ Stormgate RTS — Kickstarter

Pretty cool to see people from Starcraft II and Warcraft III launching a new RTS. Hopefully this can be the start of something new given the (potential) fall of Blizzard. I lived in WCIII custom games growing up.

🏒 The Blackhawks Are Plumbing The Depths — Defector

If Bedard isn’t playing, they might as well lose every game to grab that number one pick again.

🕵️ Arc Search — App Store

Their focus on search with their mobile app isn’t really what I was hoping for. With that being said, it still functions fine as the default browser and the ”Browse for Me” creates some nice looking results.

🔆 Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere? — Vox

Far-UV may be largely safe on human bodies, but it also created air pollution—substantial air pollution.

This is really cool stuff to vastly reduce airborne illness, if the studies into the air pollution can prove not to be too bad. Getting far-UV into grocery stores still feels like it’d be a big win.

🍯 PACKS: Melt the Honey Album Review — Pitchfork

Nice review of my favorite release from last week.

🧘‍♂️ Jackson Lamb, Yoga Instructor — McSweeney’s Internet Tendency

Class dismissed! Namaste—and fuck off.

Some delightful imagery here.

⚽️ Jurgen Klopp announces he will leave Liverpool at end of the season — This Is Anfield

Wow. Did not see this coming. Especially considering this is one of the best squads he’s had (despite the injuries). Hopefully he does out with a bang. Xabi Alonso seems to be the favorite to replace him.

🏗️ Jennifer Lopez signed on as producer of new Bob the Builder movie — The Fader

Oh boy, wait until the idiots on Twitter hear about Roberto the Builder.

🔲 Daft Social

The Anti-Social Social Network for Minimalists.

Fascinating. It only lets you post via an e-mail subject line. I don’t need another place to post in my life, but if I did…

⏳ OLLOS

This is a really cool calendar timeline, note-taking concept. Wish I could get my hands on it…

💠 2023 Gems of the year winners — Obsidian

Just when I think I’ve escaped, they pull me back in… Not sure I’ll actually go back, but the Border theme, Folder Notes, and Omnivore plug-in (if I stick with Omnivore) are all really nice.

🕰️ Industrial design first look — Poem/1

This is the kind of thing that I hope we get more of out of the AI wave. Doesn’t take itself too seriously, just a fun idea with some nice nostalgic industrial design.

🚨 Jon Stewart Will Return to Host ‘The Daily Show’ on Mondays — NYT

This is awesome! First episode will be 12 Feb and go through the election. I hope, as an Executive Producer, he helps revamp the show a bit outside of just his Monday episodes too.

🎙️ Comic Book Book Club with Amber Harper — Off Panel

Off Panel is the best comic book interview podcast full stop. This episode is a little different and special as David Harper interviews his wife about her POV as a non-comic book reader and gets her to read a few.
