Time-Traveling Down Under

‘The Newsreader’ on Roku is a great ride, but is this what Netflix with commercials will be like? — Earlier this year, Netflix announced that it plans to launch an ad-supported option by the end of 2022. Other streaming platforms already offer this for subscribers who don’t want to pay higher monthly rates. But after years of commercial-free viewing, the announcement feels like a throwback.

If You Had Kim’s Money, Would You Have Worn Marilyn’s Dress?

Gender aside: What do you think it would say about you if you did? — For me, there was an aspect of sacrilege about anyone other than Marilyn Monroe wearing her “Happy Birthday” dress. I’ve read a lot about the controversy surrounding Kim Kardashian’s decision to wear the dress to the 2022 Met Gala. How the reality star had to lose weight to fit into…

Girls Pass Gas as Webb Telescope Scores Triumph

While NASA’s James Webb Telescope sniffs out gases in the universe, Earth girls explore a potential windfall from the art of breaking wind. — Cutting the cheese. Letting one fly. Releasing a squeaker. We all know what these words mean. But perhaps there’s more to the release of gas than meets the air. NASA’s James Webb telescope, for instance, is currently sniffing around outer space for the presence of methane gas around exoplanets to…

Cassidy Hutchinson Is Not My Mother

But she has something important in common with her. — When I was a kid one of our neighbors rang the front door bell with an irresistible deal. We’d known this man and his family ever since we moved to the neighborhood. He lived in a white clapboard two-story home in the middle of the block. He had a good…

Bridgerton’s Blind Eye Is a Problem

Wasn’t there more to the Regency period than surface-level jungle fever? — This year, I became one of the 200 thousand subscribers who left Netflix during the first quarter. Even before I decided to leave, I knew I’d had enough of Bridgerton. True, I lapped up Season One like a guilty pleasure during the pandemic. …

Beyoncé’s Soulful Rebuke

Her ‘Renaissance’ evokes the Divine Feminine and issues a defiant rebuke to oppression as a right-wing Court tightens its grip. — In case you haven’t heard, Beyonce is in the process of releasing a new album. It’s called Renaissance, and it’s already making waves. Not only does the cover evoke a feminine archetype, the music we’ve heard so far is a defiant but ultimately uplifting rebuke of oppression as a right-wing…

A new TV Series features the former VP’s early years — before the monster blew up, forcing him into hiding on the worst day of his life. — It all started after Day 3 of the January 6 Hearings, which turned Mike Pence into an 11th-hour hero during the Capitol Riot. That’s when the big three networks embarked on a frantic race to bring some version of his story to television. For a while the front-runner appeared to…

Are We Finished with The Slap Now?

It’s time to stop amplifying that assault, grab the key takeaway, and move on. — Can it be that our long national Rorschach test is finally over? I’m talking about The Slap, of course. Not the Supreme Court hearings. Although Charles Blow used the term Rorschach first, that is the appropriate metaphor for what we’ve been through since the Oscars. …

Are You Immune to Self-Sabotage?

As Will Smith’s meltdown plays out like Greek tragedy, it offers big lessons about how to keep imposter syndrome from hijacking your life. — Now that the initial shock has subsided, we can see the incident for what it was — an act of self-sabotage on a grand scale.
