These 10 Emmy Nomination Snubs Seriously Don’t Make Any Sense We're baffled by some notable snubs from the 2025 Emmy nominations, from Diego Luna's performance in Andor to HBO's Industry getting zero recognition.

For all my Industry, What We Do in the Shadows, Diego Luna, Nathan Fielder, and Interview with the Vampire fans: this one's for you.

β€˜Superman’ (2025) – Review Superman, the hero and the movie, is a defiant symbol of hope, a rebel with a cause, and a beginning to a brighter future for DC Studios. After finding success with The Suicide Squad under the DCEU…

A book cover featuring a man and a woman dressed nicely, set against the Toronto skyline, with text above them reading "The Aroosi Arrangement" and "Arezou Amin"

The back of a book featuring the toronto skyline and the following summary: 

Sharzad Daryai looks like she’s got it all, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. She’s 32 years old, her dream job turning stale, and she’s desperate for a change. And then she finds out her brother is getting married. Her younger brother.

Sharzad’s never been particularly lucky in love, but she doesn’t want to face another round of pitying aunties and uncles asking when it’s going to be her turn. When her siblings insist she needs to bring a date to the wedding, or else, she needs a solution. And fast.

Sam Kazemi is a golden boy whose shine is tarnished. Sure, he’s got the fancy degree from an American school, but his girlfriend just dumped him and his dream project is in trouble. With a head for numbers, Sam has no flair for the creative, and no desire to admit he’s bitten off more than he can chew.

After a pair of heated chance encounters, Sharzad and Sam strike a bargain: She’ll help him find a creative solution to his business woes if he agrees to pose as her boyfriend at all wedding-related events.

The lines between work and play, real and fake begin to blur, but romantically-reluctant Sharzad and overly-confident Sam maintain that after the wedding, they’ll go their separate ways. After the wedding, things will go back to normal, with no feelings in the way. Right?

Right?

I am delighted to finally announce that my debut novel, THE AROOSI ARRANGEMENT, is coming October 14, 2025

This is the Iranian-Canadian, fake-dating romance of my heart, and I can't wait for you all to meet Sharzad and Sam πŸ’œ

Andor Season 2, Episodes 7-9 Review: 'Messenger,' 'Who Are You?,' 'Welcome to the Rebellion' Andor Season 2, Episodes 7-9 might be the best thing Star Wars has done in years because it’s not drawing for extended universe lore but from real atrocities.

I remain in awe of what #Andor is doing within Star Wars. Last night's new batch of episodes are the new bar of quality for me. In my latest review, I wrote about Ghorman, Syril Karn, Bix's decision, and so much more. Read it here on @ladygeeksmedia.bsky.social ⬇️

I want to say that the final half of this season of #Andor is the best Star Wars I've watched in a while IMO. At times devastating, at times inspirational, and at all times costly. I'm excited to rewatch these moments alongside everyone.

Happy Andor Day to all who celebrate. I had the privilege of watching S2 in advance, and everything you've heard is true: Andor S2 takes what was built in S1 and raises the bar once more. This is the standard I want Star Wars to be at moving forward! Truly remarkable!
