qfx The Tennessee Sports Wagering Council, with quills dipped in legal ink, has proclaimed that these cryptic platforms must halt their sports event contracts, cancel pending wagers, and refund customers by the stroke of January’s end. All this, because the state’s Sports Gaming Act demands licenses they do not possess. Oh, the irony of federal approval clashing with state decree! 🤡⚖️
Kal Penn’s character, Jay Jonah Atterbury, in the fourth season of Industry, takes familiar traits from his previous role as Kumar and twists them. What used to be playful and laid-back now comes across as unpleasant, especially when laced with casual racism. His self-deprecating humor feels less like a charm and more like a shield. Penn skillfully portrays Jonah, a co-founder of the fintech firm Tender, as arrogant and self-important. However, the season premiere also sets him up as a surprisingly sympathetic figure when he’s betrayed by his close friend and business partner, Whitney. This betrayal suggests Jonah might be one of many characters who will buckle under the pressure of the competitive world depicted in the show throughout the season.

Timothée Chalamet has finally won a Golden Globe Award! He was nominated four times previously, and this time took home the prize for his role in Marty Supreme.
Okay, so starting with a joke about Epstein was a little risky, I’ll admit. But Nikki Glaser recovered fast by turning her attention to CBS itself. Honestly, that’s exactly what I love about her – she’s fearless. After years of killing it at those Comedy Central roasts, she didn’t hesitate to call CBS News “America’s newest place to see bs.” That’s a seriously bold move when the network is producing the show, but the audience absolutely loved it. She really knows how to read a room.
Let’s quickly talk about the episode’s opening. After the theme song, it tells us it’s May 1945 and “the war in Europe is coming to a close.” Seriously? Is that necessary to state? If it’s 1945, of course the war is ending! It feels a bit obvious to point that out to an audience who are already choosing to watch a show about people in old-fashioned clothes fixing sheep and singing. Maybe it’s for any children who might be watching with their parents, but I doubt anyone is showing their toddlers a documentary about World War II – and I certainly won’t be making that mistake with my own kids. They’ll learn about it eventually.
