Having binged my way through most of the new season of The Bear, episode 7 “Bears” is safely up there with the very best in its run. Loved every minute of it.

US has struck three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says, joining Israeli air campaign
President Donald Trump says the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s effort to decapitate the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.

Spent over a week in boiling Italy, absolutely no sunburn and a tan developed.
Go for a few days in the north east of England, forearms are now bright red. Can’t win.

I was late to the party on Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and I certainly didn’t expect just how good it was going to be.
I don’t think the culmination of a game’s story has affected me quite as much as this since the first Red Dead Redemption. It’s a masterpiece.

That was about as perfect an ending you could have asked for from #Andor.
Not just the best Star Wars show (and up there with Empire as best Star Wars full stop), but one of the best TV shows we’ve had in years. Masterpiece.

Not sure if Motherwell should embrace its new hero or fear its new villain. Either way, I definitely didn’t expect to see anything like this when I woke up today 😂

Andor proving once again that it is one of the best shows on TV.
All three episodes this week - the middle one in particular - were a masterclass in storytelling.

Inter defeat Barca in what will undoubtedly go down as one of the most dramatic Champions League ties in history.
Both games were entertaining but they really took it up a notch tonight!

Cam Ward is either very nonchalant about being drafted first overall, or he’s just very good at hiding the nerves/excitement!

I’ll never be able to decide which movie Val Kilmer was better in between Tombstone and Heat. Either way, he’s responsible for them being two of my favourite films I’ve ever watched.
