The Morning Show Recap: A Few Acts of Self-Preservation

Ben isn’t the only one getting a pointed song sung directly to them. Chip Black is the one who chooses to start the sad karaoke night with it, and he’s singing it to Alex Levy. He’s at the party to show Bradley footage of interviews with victims of Wolf River, including some very sick children – a decidedly unpleasant backdrop. It’s strange they’d choose to watch such disturbing material for their story, especially footage that paints UBN in a terrible light regarding the deaths of those children. They aren’t even watching it in Bradley’s dressing room! Despite all this, Chip smoothly transitions from earnestly encouraging Bradley to continue the story despite FBI pressure, reminding her of the trust she inspires, to just as earnestly calling Alex an “executive reptile.” Chip has had several memorable moments on The Morning Show – like punching Mitch Kessler and his passionate outburst last season – but “executive reptiles” might be the most delightfully bizarre.

Slow Horses Season-Finale Recap: Sting in the Tail

It’s incredibly satisfying that Whelan is the only one who faces consequences at the end of the season. His cowardice and foolishness finally catch up to him, after he shamelessly climbed the ranks to a top position. He’s a lot like the sleazy character from Aliens, always scheming and betraying those who even save his life, until his luck runs out. Whelan thinks he can trick Jackson Lamb and escape responsibility for the disastrous Libya situation, but his overconfidence is his downfall, and he ultimately fails miserably.

Regulatory compliance? A necessary evil, perhaps. Yet one cannot help but wonder: will this make Pi a darling of institutions, or merely a guest who overstays its welcome? 🤔

🇫🇷 UDR’s Wild Crypto Caper: 420,000 BTC or Bust? 🤑

Éric Ciotti, the chap at the helm of the French political outfit UDR, has unveiled a bill that’s got more twists than a Jeeves plot. The plan? To amass a staggering 420,000 bitcoins (or BTC, as the fellows in the know call it) over the next seven to eight years. Quite the tall order, what? 🧑‍💻

The Curious Case of Pi: When a Digital Token Goes Wild 🍕💸

The coin, which recently hit rock bottom-the kind that makes you question your investments and your life choices-has apparently rebounded by more than half since the October crash that made everyone wish they’d become bakers instead. Yet, it’s still down 91%, a statistic that would make even the stoic Gogol shed a tear of bitter humor. “A triumph,” they say-if only from the perspective of a gambler dreaming of a comeback and a plot twist.
