Things I am loving right now

The new season of Doctor Who. The showrunner may be a guy who's done it before, but it seems they understand the time lord's gotta change with the times. I love that he sings and dances. I love that he has a dashing flirtation with a rogue and they even get a tragic kiss. I'm quite enjoying Ruby, too. And while I maybe remain a little dubious about the Regency episode's main influence being Bridgerton, I do appreciate that they at least addressed the matter of time travelers doing dancing that well-to-do Regency folk spent years learning how to do properly.
Baldur's Gate 3. Especially Gale. Got to a scene where he tried to teach my barbarian Tav a little magic this week, and seriously, how does anyone refrain from romancing this bloke? Though the camp conversation I had with Astarion this week also increased my appreciation for Neil Newborn; I'm starting to understand why he won awards for his performance in this game. And hey, maybe at some point I'll be able to navigate one of the game's puzzles without having to look up the answer. I've got a lot of game to go; surely I'll manage it sooner or later, right?
We finally have Vox Machina third season release date! Maybe I'll even get to hear more about it in San Diego, too. Although it already looks and sounds like we're definitely getting a few things we've been waiting for...
