Good News: New Adventures in Hi-Fi still slaps.
Bad News (for me specifically): It's almost 30 years old. ☹️

Update: this month I bought a top-up so I could listen to the last fifteen minutes of Lords and Ladies
Listening to audiobooks on Spotify is great because the selection is fantastic but terrible because 15 hours a month is not enough to satisfy my desire to binge Discworld

Probably for the best that the live-action adaptation of Akira is dead, but what I really wish would happen instead is a series adaptation (preferably animated) that covers the material in the hugely divergent manga. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
‘Akira’ Rights Up for Grabs as Japanese Sci-Fi Leaves Warner Bros. (Exclusive)
After 20 years, a dozen creatives attached and millions spent on development, Warners is moving on from the seminal property.

The main thing I’ll miss after my trip to Paris are the water bottle caps: they all had an extra piece of plastic that kept the cap attached to the bottle so you could hang it off to the side and never lose it. Simple, genius, obvious… and we don’t have it here.

Listening to the new Black Country, New Road and it's kind of fascinating how they're essentially a completely different band on every album

Severance is one of the best arguments for the creative failure of the binge streaming model: episodes that stand alone, have wildly varying tones, require time to unpack, and people fucking love it!

We finished watching Parks and Recreation last night (both of us had only seen bits and pieces here and there) and maybe more shows should have a victory lap season that serves as a capstone and also makes you cry every other episode.

I’ve been re-reading the Discworld books in publishing order - the new audiobooks are all on Spotify - because they’re comfort reads for me, but I’m also remembering that they’re pretty consistently about fighting fascism from the street level. And that’s a comfort too, in a different sort of way.

Laid on Peacock is very entertaining - it improves immediately after the pilot, which is a little slow - but it's also fairly bloody/violent for what is essentially a fantasy rom-com premise. Made me wonder how it compares to the Australian version.

Reneé Rapp left The Sex Lives of College Girls to focus on her career as a singer, and the reporting made it seem a bit abrupt, so it absolutely feels like a dig at her that Gracie Lawrence, who joined the show as the new friend/roommate, ends the season by performing a blowout musical number
