Honestly, Heated Rivalry doing better than most US shows at a time when Hollywood is completely dead feels like Toronto‘s revenge for the Dodgers winning over the Blue Jays

A Relic from the past

It’s like, we were both such nerds at school and now he’s this confident, knowledgable doctor guessing diagnoses that turns out to be correct and answering my questions, like why you can’t put someone with collapsed lungs on BiPAP. What.

Do y’all have friends you’re so proud of that your heart bursts with joy for them 😭

It’s amazing to see how far a close friend of mine has come – we’ve decided to try watching The Pitt, and he provides expert doctor commentary to my “what does that mean” every 10 mins 😅

This looks cozy AF

It hits every box 🥁 for me:

✅ Sold my PC, too lazy to build another one
✅ Hesitant to buy a console now mid-to-late gen
✅ Was eyeing the SteamDeck OLED but I want to couch-game
✅ Sucker for a minimalist, portable chassis
✅ GabeCube

Absolutely Day 1 for me. The price point would have to be comically outrageous for it not to be.

Whatever personas they drew up to establish their target audience, I’m all of them.

I’ll be an early adopter. Perfect for people like me who sold their gaming PC and can’t be bothered to build another one but don’t want to go console-route because it’s already mid-to-almost done its cycle

Book cover: The Cost of a Promised Afterlife by Priyamvada Mehra. Out now.

In India, godmen are everywhere. Their photos hang on walls, their voices fill television screens and their names are spoken in both prayers and scandals. But the word ‘cult’ is rarely used. It stays unspoken until another scandal breaks out, only to be buried under silence again. This silence allows blind faith to thrive and logic to crumble. At nine, Priyamvada Mehra was led into the fold of Rampal, a self-proclaimed godman who promised miracle cures and salvation in exchange for submission. What began as her parents' desperate attempt to save her mother’s life soon became something far more sinister—a world where faith became a cage, obedience a virtue and control, absolute. By thirteen, Priyamvada was a devoted follower. In 2006, she was inside his ashram, used as a human shield during a deadly clash between Rampal’s followers and a rival sect. Questioning was forbidden, loyalty was everything and defi ance came at a cost. She endured heartbreaking losses and grew up with a twisted logic of miracles, bans on medical treatment, violent sermons and state-crushing riots. She witnessed her family fall to pieces under the weight of indoctrination and diseases. For two decades, she stumbled between two treacherous worlds, one ruled by cultic control, and both shaped by patriarchy, caste and class, and the systemic violence they breed. In The Cost of a Promised Afterlife, Priyamvada Mehra finally tells her story. The memoir exposes how cults take root in a nation of 1.4 billion, and how godmen wield unchecked power. Deeply intersectional in its lens, it lays bare the psychological and physical toll of being led into blind faith as a girl and the long journey of dissenting as a woman in a ‘man’s world’. This is her truth and her rebellion.

I met my friend Priya running into her a few times in the elevator. We hung out, shared our stories of leaving abuse, and her story is just… astounding.

She’s written a book on it, out now!

This will be a powerful read for women everywhere to reclaim their strength:
