Media diet this week. I’ve been reading:

• I finished The Tainted Cup, and thought it was fun and interesting. I’ll definitely read more in the series.
• Listening to Circe. It’s excellent and the audiobook reading is perfect.
• Started reading Metal from Heaven

And some TV:

• Season 2 of Severance is here. I re-watched Season 1 a couple of weeks ago and was struck by how tight it was, how specific and articulated its vision and its characters are. The first episode of Season 2 hit all the notes I would have wanted: It surprised me and promises so much.
• We finished the final season of Loudermilk. It walks a fine line between jokey and sincere, and I think ends as a really moving story about found family and addiction, while managing to frequently be really, really funny.
• American Primeval is very violent depiction of a violent era in the American West, and centers on the Mountain Meadows Massacre. It’s well done; I don’t know if I’d recommend it.

And some music I’ve liked:

• The Weather Station, Humanhood
• Rosali, Bite Down: I really like this album
• MJ Lenderman, Manning Fireworks
