Welcome back Slime Puppies! Succession Power Rankings for episode 304: “Lion in the Meadow.”I saw Spencer this week and the only thing I am willing to say about it at this time: great gowns, beautiful gowns. Literally and Aretha Franklin-ly. But there is a moment where the titular… ncG1vNJzZmigpaPBpr7HmqmroaNjwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89oqq6bk5rAtLXOp2Spp6eav26%2BwKeioqaXqHqttdOto54%3D
It’s so good to see family working together! And it’s even better to watch them ganging up against each other :) Succession is over tonight, and as I said in the speech I gave at my middle school graduation “Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened’ - Dr. Seuss’ - me” I won’t waste time: thank you for reading t… ncG1vNJzZmigpaPBpr7HmqmroaNjwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89oqq6bk5rAtLXOp2SsnaKesrR5xaKlmqSVYr2ww8SrZKuZnqC2r7PS
Dearly beloved, we gather tonight to remember, inter, and move past Logan Roy. The man who was the center of Succession’s universe has been gone for a month-and-a-half in our world, but for his children and colleagues and the various high-powered attendees of his funeral, it’s been less than a week—the time to process the loss is still unfurling before them. But now, mere hours after Kendall and Roman Roy channeled their grief into swinging the presidential race for a smug white nationalist, the people closest—or “closest,” I suppose—must finally face the prospect of life after Logan.
Narrative Photography and Suggestive Photography are two distinct genres of photography that have different goals and objectives. Narrative photography tells a story, while Suggestive photography evokes a feeling or emotion. Narrative photography is often used in journalism and documentary photography to tell a story about a particular event or issue. The photographer will use their camera to capture images that document that particular event or issue. Then they will use the images to create a narrative that tells the story.
A lot of people hate me, and they spend a good amount of time letting me know. People have sent me death threats, sent me gory videos and photos, tweeted naked photos of me at my family members, and painstakingly matched interior shots of my house to old rental listings so they could dox me. The purpose of this harassment—the fun of it, I suppose—is to inflict psychological harm. It’s a game.
After over two years of legal action a jury has found in favour of Evil Geniuses over their former player Sumail "SumaiL" Hassan on all counts. Hassan had lodged the complaint arguing that his former organisation had breached their contract when converting stock he held within the company from preferred units to common stock, supposedly without him understanding the gravity of that change. After days of presenting evidence and arguments the jury decided that neither Evil Geniuses – here in the suit under their companies EG LLC, EG Inc and EG Holdings – nor Peak6 had a case to answer.
Real chili, the kind I envision cowboys simmered over open flames, with secret recipes earning blue ribbons, is all about the meat. Hunks of various cuts of meat stew for forever with spices, pureed dried chilis, aromatics, and maybe tomatoes until it all falls apart into a rich gravy. Die-hard chili heads balk at adding beans or using ground meat, so they will most certainly hate this summer chili. Look away, chili purists.
“Summer of 85” is a rapturously joyful and sad movie that gets right at the heart of what it’s like to fall in love for the first time and be vulnerable, with the added twist of being gay. There’s been a spate of terrific queer romance films over the last few years, and here’s another one. Directed by François Ozon, who also adapted the novel by Aidan Chambers, the story is set in a French coastal town in the middle of the greatest decade ever to grow up, and no, this is not subject to debate.
There's something about superheroes that captivates us as kids—and even as adults. Maybe it's their incredible strength. Or it could be their speed. Or their intelligence. Or maybe it's just those sweet costumes. Who knew grown men could look so fearsome in full-body unitards, anyhow? But there's something beyond the tights and capes that we find irresistible. It may just be the idea that seemingly normal people are able to transform themselves, at a moment’s notice, into something much greater.
