Hello Mastodon I have been away for a few months. What’s up?

I got to write about The Last of Us! I enjoyed it and can’t wait for more episodes. https://t.co/MQEizlYtW6

HBO's 'The Last of Us' review: Dreading the fungus among us

The hefty pilot episode gives a lot of a story and a strong statement that this series adaptation is committed to its thematic aspirations

here’s my year ender favorite TV series list.
1. The Bear
2. Severance
3. Andor

Sleeper favorite pick: Slow Horses (how come there aren’t more people talking about this? it’s so good!)

favorite fun thing: Only Murders in the Building

and I’ll also throw in Reservation Dogs as something I was incredibly emotionally affected by.

I’m also yet to watch Mythic Quest, but that might shake this all up.

what are your faves?

I am quite obsessed with the TV series The Bear. First thing I watched when Disney+ became available here, and so I’ve seen the whole thing twice in the last week and a half or so. If you’re a fan, I’ve also made a playlist of all the songs on it.

I feel like part of my onboarding and acclimatizing to Mastodon will be trying to separate myself and recover from these other platforms.
I’m still hanging around in them. I go in hoping to see friends or cool stuff, but instead find really toxic, horrible posts…which I can’t not look at. So yeah gotta detox, gotta deprogram from those things. Then we can come in here clean and see how to contribute.
I’ll be watching Jacob Collier tonight. Dude is a supreme musician and I can’t wait to see what the live experience is like.

Less than a week to go before my book's birthday on Nov. 28! You can still pre-order it here: bit.ly/Song-preorder

Just started my rewatch of The Bear. Watched it last week, first thing I launched into as soon as Disney+ became available. But last time there were technical issues and I was watching on my iPad mini. Now I’m watching it on the big screen. This show is definitely my favorite show of the year (though it’s very close between this and Severance).
