Succeseverance

Two well-regarded TV series I didn’t watch were Succession, available on HBO Max (that I have) and Severance on Apple TV+ (that I don’t have). As happened years ago with Breaking Bad, my interest in Severance was piqued by Stephen Colbert’s praise for the series.

With season 2 of Severance about to premiere, season 1 is now available for free on the Roku Channel.

I binge-watched all nine episodes over the weekend. I’m now considering the 90-day Apple TV+ trial to catch season 2. Succession has almost 40 episodes over four seasons. That’s a big commitment I’m not ready to make yet.

Flames On!

These fires are catastrophic and unprecedented in my lifetime. Trump is blaming the inability to control the fires on Governor Newsom, rather than expressing any sort of concern or promising to offer support after he is inaugurated.

There’s no reason to hold back from belittling and insulting Trump. We know that when he’s confronted with a real crisis, as he was with Covid, he’s going to screw up. It’s a certainty that by the end of his term, Trump’s reputation will once again be in tatters and many will wonder why they voted for him.
