4 Books About Real Messy, Wealthy Families That Make TV’s Wealthy Look Tame in a Scary Way

Jeremy Strong as Kendall Roy in Succession

Watching their lives play out on the screen can act as a reminder that money doesn't fix everything (even though it does make it much more manageable.) Also, there are families either equally if not more messier than our own.

Recap: The Wheel of Time: Episode 5, “Blood Calls Blood”

Still from Amazon's Wheel of Time episode 5 Blood Calls Blood.

This episode is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. It’s bookended by two funerals (or, should I say, it has a circular ending), and the middle bits feature nonviolent resistance, suicide pacts, torture, stabbings, and political maneuvering. Whoof.

Recap: The Wheel of Time: Episode 4, “The Dragon Reborn”

An archer drawing a bow in Amazon's Wheel of Time.

It’s hard to describe how well this episode works as an adaptation, and how much the show is benefiting from Robert Jordan’s completed work. As someone who started reading The Wheel of Time when I was seventeen, I found the amount of foreshadowing in this episode utterly delightful.

Conservatives Seek to Protect Fossil Fuel Industry from “Woke Capitalism”

This push by ALEC is so messy even before its foul intentions to slow the already-almost-too-late climate action, but even in its an idea. Forcing banks and private companies to work with fossil fuel giants as they diversify their portfolio and move away from fossil fuels is ludicrous.
