'The Umbrella Academy' trailer
I just finished watching the first season of The Umbrella Academy and realised I'd only ever linked to the teaser trailer back December.
There are times where it's pace is a little slow, but overall a really interesting show that is well worth a watch.

SYMFONISK: Stereo furniture by Sonos and IKEA
A collaboration between speaker manufacturer Sonos and IKEA was teased a few weeks ago and now we have a first look at the products they'll be bringing to IKEA stores in Q3 this year.
As well as traditional speakers, there will be a lamp/speaker combo availble too:
Easily connect SYMFONISK and all other Sonos speakers and components over WiFi to listen in every room of your home. Pair speakers in the same room for detailed stereo separation and connect your TV to enjoy immersive surround sound for all your entertainment.
...
Enjoy music, podcasts, radio, audiobooks, TV, and more on Sonos. Steam from all your favorite services and easily control your sound system with the Sonos app, Apple Airplay 2, and your voice.
It all sounds great at a technical level, but no word on pricing yet.

We're about to see the first-ever photo of a black hole
It seems that the day has arrived! On 10 April 2019, the team behind the EHT project and associated organisations are going to present results they describe as "groundbreaking"
I'll be interested to see how close the depiction of a black hole in Interstellar is compared to the real thing.

Germany is on to the greatest fraud in British political history
Click through and watch the 11 minute segment.
John Oliver has also covered the topic of Brexit pretty well as part of Last Week Tonight. Both ZDF and HBO are currently offering better coverage than anything I've seen in the UK.

Francesco Totti was the eternal player in the Eternal City
Francesco Totti is the reason I support Roma. I remember watching Football Italia with my grandfather back in the late 90's where I saw him tearing teams appart for fun.
I have quite a few memories of his time as a player including the 2000 European Championships, winning the 2001 Scudetto and of course watching Italy lift the 2006 World Cup after which he retired from international football.
Grazie
