    Man I loved Final Space! Tragic it got cancelled and pulled off (HBO) Max. Looking forward to, one day, reading the series finale graphic novel. Final Space Ends

    Agreed. There are tons and tons of Easter eggs, but no knowledge is required to enjoy it. You just won't be as excited when characters from other Disney Afternoon 90s shows appear.

    Hilda is such a good one! I’d also add 2017 DuckTales to the list. I haven’t watched Steven Universe, but Gravity Falls and Avatar round out my top 3 cartoons of all time with DuckTales.

    I LOVED Loki Season 2 - definitely worth finishing. One of the more satisfying ending of Marvel projects. Not sure how related they will end up being, even with the TVA in both, but ... time will...

    Great trailer - tons of fun and, if anything, being under Disney control gave us lines like "Do you want to build a snowman?"

    Sonic Rush runs great on my iPhone 15 Pro. You will have to go find the 3 needed DS files to make games run, though.

    Exactly. Shadow never cracks a joke and is completely serious all the time. As soon as I saw this rumored yesterday, I was like, absolutely! Makes more sense to me than Idris Elba did, which worked out amazingly.

    But yeah, also, to the edgy brooding stuff. Which, honestly, Keanu can definitely do.

    I wondered how long this would take when I saw a screenshot of them using Lego heads. I think that was like 4-5 days ago.

    Glad to know about this as we get ready to move (back) to Abilene this summer. I’m sure people will let me talk about it at dinner, assuming someone else at the table wanted to hear about it.

    After almost three years since I backed it on Kickstarter, my Savepod for Keurig came in. Basically, it's a compostable base you slide into a plastic ring that you can fill with your own coffee. Their claims were 1) no waste as it's compostable, 2) cheaper, 3) easier to use than refillable pods, and 4) the coffee will taste better.

    We went on a trip to New Orleans last month, and I picked up a can of Cafe du Monde chicory coffee to use when it finally arrived. Happy to report that at least claim 3 & 4 are true - easily the best coffee I've ever had from a Keurig. I suspect 1 is true, but we don't compost (it's definitely not plastic, though). Waiting to see what the compostable cup refills cost to figure out 2.

    I am a fan of your excellent taste in choosing FC Dallas! I have not been actively engaged with anything soccer for a few years, but I've still got that FCD jersey in the closet. Having MLS on Apple TV has almost made me start paying attention again - we'll see once I move back to Texas this summer.

    This person credit cards! I have a shared note with my wife to remind us which cards to use for what every quarter to maximize cash back.
