The Bengals are 0-2. Not a good start, especially for a team that went to the Super Bowl last year.

The internet is having fun playing guessing games about the characters in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, to wit:
Sauron watch: Is <this character> going to turn out to be Sauron? Maybe <that character>?
Who dat: Who is <this yet to be identified character> going to turn out to be? Gandalf? No, Gandalf hasn’t shown up yet. Are they messing with the timeline?
Name that doom: Boy, <so-and-so> seems really evil. Will they tun out to be a Nazgûl, one of the Dead Men of Dunharrow, etc.?
That’s not in the book: The purists’ catch phrase every time a difference shows up. This is typically said in reply to a post about the show because a true purist wouldn’t be caught dead watching the show.

Thursday is normally a big TV day (Harley Quinn, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), but I was too busy playing Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune to watch anything. Gives me more to watch tomorrow.

You may have heard about the plan my employer has to split in two. Bear in mind that there is no final decision.
Statement on the future of the EY organization | ey.com
What does this mean for me? Interesting question. Given that the proposed split would be along service lines, if you work in a customer facing position, where you would go is pretty clear. Auditors would remain with the existing firm and consultants would move to the new company. For employees like me, however, it’s not straightforward. For groups like Information Technology (where I am), Finance, Human Resources, and any other internal department, the people could go to either one. That’s what’s likely to happen. Some of us stay and some of us move.
That’s all I know. I’ll share what news I can as it happens.
