Today we're taking a look at each of the dog and cat food recalls announced by the FDA in the USA in the year 2021. We've previously reported on most of these recalls in the past, soon after they were initially tipped by the FDA through the first months of this year. Today we're making absolutely sure you are up-to-date on all the recalls as such, just in case any were missed during this tumultuous time.
Even though Microsoft announced a bunch of day-one releases for Xbox Game Pass during E3 2021, we've got some new additions to look forward to in the more immediate future. Today, Microsoft detailed the next batch of games coming to Xbox Game Pass. There are nine games in all joining Game Pass in some form, and while a number of them are independent titles, there are a few big names in the group as well.
This week the folks at the development office at Twitter opened the gates to Instagram. If you're using an iOS device, you can now share Tweets from your Twitter app directly to Instagram Stories. This should curb the use of screenshots of Tweets in Instagram stories, as the developers at Twitter suggest. They said "pls stop posting screenshots of Tweets on IG Stories," so they were nice about it!
There's a leak this week that appears to confirm the size and shape of the next iPhone. The iPhone 13, or iPhone 12s, depending on what Apple decides to call the next device lineup, won't likely be all that different from its predecessor. It's expected that the iPhone family released in the year 2021 will include three models, one each with a 5.4-inch display, 6.1-inch display, and 6.7-inch display.
After more than 20 years, we're getting a new Space Jam movie. Space Jam: A New Legacy - starring LeBron James instead of Michael Jordan - is set to debut next month in theaters and on HBO Max. To go along with the movie's release, Microsoft is releasing Space Jam: A New Legacy The Game, though this isn't quite like the movie tie-in games we've seen in the past.
The word "stalwart" seems like it was made for the 2021 Lexus GX 460. In production since 2009, and only relatively lightly massaged since then, the big SUV's resilience to replacement is a reminder that - for some applications - newer needn't always mean better. If you occupy the center-spot of a niche Venn diagram combining proper off-roading, luxury, and bigger groups, the GX could find itself on your (very short) shortlist.
NASA JPL has shared a tweet with a selfie taken by the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter. The picture was snapped during the helicopter's eighth test flight on Monday of this week.

The 2022 Kia Soul is the last remaining survivor of the boxy SUV gang previously led by the Nissan Cube, Scion xB, and Honda Element. And despite dwindling sales numbers, the Kia Soul remains an affordable and practical family car for empty nesters and small families.
One of the best ways that scientists can discover small fossilized insects and plants is encased within amber. Amber can save the specimen just as it was the day it stepped into the gooey medium. A new research study has been published focusing on an interesting discovery of a fossilized ant with a new genus and species of fungal parasite growing out of it.
Scientists have performed a new analysis of the surface of Venus that has revealed evidence of tectonic motion. That evidence comes in the form of crustal blocks that have jostled against each other like broken chunks of pack ice on Earth's lakes and oceans. Researchers say that the movement of those blocks could indicate that Venus is geologically active and give insights into exoplanet tectonics and early tectonic activity on Earth.
Gogoro and Foxconn are teaming up on electric transportation, with battery-swappable Smartscooter tech aiming for a wider launch. Though known for its electric scooter, key to Gogoro's strategy has always been its modular power pack system; that allows riders to switch out their batteries at charging stations, rather than waiting for their scooter to recharge.
