The Eternaut
Introduction The word "eternaut" blends "eternity" and "astronaut" to evoke the idea of a timeless traveller. I dropped into this because it looked interesting. I am up to Episode three and will be seeing it through despite some early misgivings and annoyances.

Unpacking White Lotus Season 3: Gorgeous Scenes and Frustratingly Familiar Tropes
For the last eight weeks, my morning routine has been to get up, make coffee, and mentally get ready for the upcoming episode of HBO's The White Lotus. It has evolved into a weekly immersion in opulence, dysfunction, and mortality rather than merely a viewing experience.

Champions League expert picks, predictions: Can Real Madrid pull off a miracle against Arsenal in Spain?
As the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second legs take place this midweek, there are still ninety minutes and possibly more. On Tuesday two teams tried valiantly to overcome deficits but couldn't quite get there in the end as, Borussia Dortmund defeated Barcelona 3-1 to fall 5-3 on aggregate while Aston Villa conceded twice early before rallying with three goals of their own, leaving them trailing 5-4 to PSG on aggregate when time ran out. Ultimately the multi-goal defeats in the first leg for the home teams just proved to be too much to overcome. On Wednesday, Real Madrid will attempt an epic comeback against Arsenal, and Inter Milan will face Bayern Munich at the San Siro, where the hosts hold a one-goal advantage. For games that finish level on aggregate, 30 minutes of extra time will be played, and if still tied, penalty kicks will be used to decide the ties.
