Marvel has announced that the next Iron Man is going to be Riri Williams. I’m not familiar with. But apparently she’s a Stark-level genius African American girl who attends MIT. I can dig it.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit
Yeah, boy! Juno has successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit. The spacecraft sent a message a mere 540 million miles across the solar system to let NASA, and you know, the rest of us know.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ footage coming to SDCC; it “won’t” go up online
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is dropping some new footage at this year’s SDCC. Don’t get too excited, fellow plebs not attending the convention. The footage won’t be going online. ‘Cause the VFX are always early in these SDCC previews. That’s what James Gunn says. Anyone who has frequented Daily Motion or Tumblr or Anything Else after a SDCC preview knows that the footage? Probably going up online.

Monday Morning Commute: We’re all riding shotgun with Entropy
We’re all riding shotgun with Entropy.
That’s the long of it, the short of it. Celebrated the Fourth of July twice this weekend. Once at a friend’s apartment, who I consider to be family. Once at my family’s house, who I consider to be friends.
Me, my friends, my family?
We’re all riding shotgun with entropy.
The Universe wasn’t paying much attention to our celebrations. Too busy housing Everything. Too busy searching for that sweet, sugary Heat Death at the end of it all. Expanding endlessly until it won’t.
Me, my friends, my family, the Universe?
We’re all riding shotgun with entropy.
The wife I married, the dog I love, the friends I cherish, the family I belong to, the Universe that carries me.
We’re all here until we’re not.
We’re all riding shotgun with entropy.
I don’t know what to make of this, other than to appreciate my wife, walk my dog, hang out with my friends, and stare lovingly at the stars when the nights permit. This isn’t profundity and it isn’t resignation.
It’s a shrug and a smile in the face of the Absurd. What else can I do?
We’re all riding shotgun with entropy.
This is Monday Morning Commute. The column where I slather onto this particular digi–space all the items, all the miscellany, all the bullshit that I’m interfacing with on a given week. You know, when I’m not staring into the raging chasm of Void and Stars, condemning the tragic mistake that is self-awareness, while simultaneously praising the Cosmic Joke for stumbling into giving us clowns self-awareness.
It is my optimistic encouragement that you’ll share what you’re up to this week in the comments section.

I, I don’t understand Minecraft. But I respect the fuck out of its users and it.
‘Xbox Play Anywhere’ is launching September 13th
Starting September 13th, Microsoft is going to be going totally, like, full-integration between their XB1 and Windows 10 platforms. As someone is about to sell their XB1 because all future first-party titles will be playable on the computer (and frankly if I end up getting their new XB1 next year, I might as well maximize my value for the current one, while missing out on…nothing), this has me excited.
