It’s curtains for Tucker Carlson’s long running smash hit fascism extravaganza on Fox News. In the coming days, once all the crying and the screaming is done, we’ll surely hear rumors about the why’s and the how’s, but like a divorce between the two worst people you know, it actually doesn’t matter who broke up with who, or who is going to end up better off in the long run. What matters is that terrible people are unhappy today.

A fun game to play on Monday mornings is trying to guess which moment from Sunday night’s episode of Succession is the one that’s going to get the most memes made out of it. It’s a rough race on any given week, but Sunday night’s episode provided a contest as brutal as, well, competing to be the interim CEO of Waystar Royco, following the death of Logan Roy.

White supremacist movements’ ties to local, state, and national law enforcement is a grave topic that requires more serious investigation than Grand Knighthawk: Infiltrating the KKK (April 27 on Hulu) is capable of undertaking. Nonetheless, as a small-scale portrait of the insidious danger posed by that relationship, it’s a harrowing true-crime tale that puts modern racists’ ugliness on full display, never more starkly than when one of its subjects—in a covert audio recording—says about poor Black Americans...

For a man in his eighties, Ian Hunter has enjoyed a remarkably productive streak in recent years. The legendary rocker—who rose to fame in the ’70s as the frontman of Mott the Hoople before embarking on a solo career marked by hits like “Cleveland Rocks” and “All of the Good Ones Are Taken”—has, at 83, comfortably settled into his role as an elder statesman of rock.

March Madness and binge-drinking have long made for a dynamic duo in college sports, so it’s hardly surprising that a major beer brand would want to partner with a powerful social media influencer to get people talking about their particular brew. It’s a simple equation that has found success time and again in our TikTok-powered world. But, as John Oliver explained, Bud Light wasn’t banking on the extreme anti-trans backlash that followed their brand partnership with trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney. Читать дальше...

It’s bold to say that Barry (Bill Hader) has only just started spiraling out of control, when all four seasons have been a slow and steady descent into chaos for the lead character. But now he’s really in a crisis. Locked away in jail, Barry has struck a deal with the feds: If he reveals what he knows about NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan) and the Chechens, they’ll free him and keep him safe in the Witness Protection Program.

More than once, Jodie Comer’s character Tessa Ensler declares “This is me” in Suzie Miller’s searing one-woman Broadway play, Prima Facie (Golden Theatre, booking to June 18). The declaration resonates because Tessa is in no way any kind of stereotype—of a lawyer, a young woman, or victim of rape. She is a complex me, who Comer—in an astonishingly acted monolog—makes the center of a striking piece of theater directed by Justin Martin. In London earlier this month, Comer won the Olivier Award for Best Actress for her performance... Читать дальше...

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is running for re-election—a move that’s been met with literal laughs from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and silence from Republican campaign arms. But in a narrowly divided chamber where every vote counts, Santos may get to show McCarthy who gets the last word and, ultimately, the last laugh.
