There were so many good moments in the first three episodes of Andor's new season; the fondue dinner to meet essentially the mother-in-law was hilarious. Denise Gough's comment: "It's amazing how many people in America really connect with that scene, especially women" #Andor #AndorSpoilers

ICYMI Apothecary Diaries had one of the few delightful April Fools' brand pranks:

Awesome to see the US team excel at Worlds! AP outlines some of the Olympics speculation which is now on everyone's minds.

NEW: After the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, dozens of BioWare employees were told they were temporarily assigned to other projects within EA. This week, a twist: those temp assignments are now *permanent* transfers. And BioWare has shrunk. Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Happy New Year however you're celebrating it!

Happy Holidays! If you traveled with food, I hope it survived the trip... transporting cookies was certainly easier than the brisket in a pyrex without a tightly sealed lid.

I don't typically shop in a fashion that lends itself to having a haul to show off but I'm so excited about the giant order from Modern Bread & Bagel arriving. Everything is gluten free & their bagels deceptively taste like the real thing. Wasn't expecting a million escaped poppyseeds though...

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

Really enjoyed this piece by @taliabarrington.bsky.social on music rights for things like figure skating. The attitude in the skating clubs I was part of growing up was a mixture of "who cares for amateurs" & "who is going to find out" - I can see how the spread of social media would change that.
