I'm rewatching #Andor before season 2, and the Narkina 5 storyline really hits different in light of the recent news about Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) in El Salvador.

I hope this is Manny Jacinto’s acting at play and there’s a season 2 of #TheAcolyte or another project to continue The Stranger’s story but, if you watch the full interview, he seems sad not to be able to address the show’s cancellation and the racist backlash upfront. youtu.be/W6ruDgsMthM?...

There is a sort of Internet FOMO around #TheWhiteLotus, enough to keep watching. And don’t get me wrong, the memes are top-tier (“Tsunamiiiiiii”). But after finishing season 3… is it OK to admit I find the show kind of boring?

My recent move to Montreal comes with a small (and unrelated) job update: as of today, I’m continuing to freelance for BNN Bloomberg, now as Web Content Editor—a role where I clip, package and publish news content, mainly video, for BNNBloomberg.ca and its social media platforms.
