So is the premise every single person in this world is a hitman? Even in public people are either trying to kill Johnathan Wick or they’re completely unfazed by the constant stabbing and headshots feet away from them. Why are the henchmen (and the lone henchwoman who literally can’t speak) all so willing to get shot in the face for the bad guy?

RIP new E3, we hardly knew ye.
MLB and Braves Opening Day is here. Will watch probably 120+ games via MLB.tv between now and end of season. Since 2020, Braves games (mostly on mute) have been back as a background of my daily life/work/tv/podcast. Great and comforting to have it back.
First baserunner/batter of the season and Braves have already stolen a base. (Primer on all the 2023 rules changes for those who are curious.)
I’ve been in a fitness rut since losing momentum during spring break vacation, but I knocked out a 951 calorie workout over lunch thanks mostly to the yesterday’s release of MLB The Show 23.
I spent about 200 hours playing The Show 22 last year, almost all while also exercising on the elliptical. Maybe I can leverage the addictive (& predatory?) nature of Diamond Dynasty to get back on track. ???
(45 minutes of this was also while on a work status call, I’m not that big of a slacker midday. I swear.)
The newly revealed Braves’ City Connect uniforms for this season look great.
I still like their actual regular throwbacks that these are based on more, but all the little details here are really nice.
Biggest takeaway from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay demo this morning… did Link always have such a beautiful flowing mullet?
Sat and put in three 15-20 minute sessions to beat this now that’s available on the Switch. This is the first OG Game Boy game I have ever finished as I never owned a Game Boy growing up. 12 year old Brian would be so jealous.
Nice, very quick and very simple playthrough to see the origins of Kirby. My kids delighted at seeing the green Game Boy graphics but not enough to want to play themselves it looked “too old”.

Alex Hay, developer of the super useful Toolbox Pro iOS app, has passed away after a battle with cancer. MacStories has a nice tribute to Alex that’s worth a read and touches on his impact on the Apple automation community.
Considering I completely disagreed that several of these even are time travel movies (*cough* Demolition Man *cough*), this is a great fun Incomparable episode and I saved several new things to my watchlist.
Trolling my daughters with Midjourney prompts as they argue over who gets to help with the next creation: “dad with two annoying daughters, who are crying because they just got in trouble, pixar style”
Bottom right one was our favorite, not sure why the other ones ended up with clown makeup. Ha.
