[Trailer] HBO Max - Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone | Official Teaser
It’s always tough rebooting something… especially when that thing is still so fresh in people’s memory.
I need to approach this show with an open mind, because it feels like I could easily fall into “Not My Harry Potter” territory.

I will say, I am excited for them to explore this series in a TV show format—the extra runtime will allow them to expand on plot lines not covered in the original movies.
[YouTube] ESPN - NBA EXPANSION IS HAPPENING
Seattleites, rejoice.
The Sonics are coming back.
All 30 owners voted in favor of expanding to at least two cities: Seattle and Las Vegas. Supposedly, both teams would join the West, which would mean re-zoning a couple teams. This move will likely take place in time for the 2028-2029 season.
Having lived in Seattle for a bit, it’s clear the city still loves the Sonics. You’re bound to run into a couple Shawn Kemp murals if you walk around enough. It’s a wonderful sports city, and it’s great to see their patience rewarded.

Pretty cool.
[Bonus Deal] Chevron App - 25cents per Gallon Discount
If you’re one of the millions of people hurt by the gas crisis, maybe this can help a little bit. I’m a big fan of the Chevron app, but now seems like the best time to take advantage of the sign up offer: save a quarter per gallon on your next five trips.
I’m not sure if this is available everywhere, but worth a shot. Here’s a picture of a sign with the details and a QR code to join:
