Input: May 2026

Weekly media tracking was a pain in the ass - as evidenced by the fact that I skipped it for four or five weeks. I figured aggregating things at a monthly level was saner and more sustainable. Slow month for watching stuff - don’t worry, I make up for it in June. (Spoiler alert!)

Without further ado, here’s what I watched, listened to, and read for the month of May 2026. As always, best things highlighted.
