Trying out a bit of a new format today, utilizing Ghost's link preview things. Let me know what you think, if it makes it harder/easier to read.

I'm also working on a quarterly feature for [+] subscribers where I run through the best albums, shows, comics, and movies of the quarter. I know I'm already a month late for Q1, but hopefully I'll have that soon.

• You could tell he was feeling out that post-Potter career and to take some big, weird swings like that was exactly what we need from people who find themselves in extremely lucky positions. More on that next...
