FOX News Media released a statement on Monday announcing that the network and its biggest star, Tucker Carlson, have agreed to part ways. "We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor," the press release continued. "Mr. Carlson's last program was Friday April 21st." By the looks of his final show last week, Carlson did not have any indication that he'd be out of the chair a few days later. Media reporter Brian Stelter, a longtime foe of Fox News and its primetime stars, suggests it is telling that Carlson was not offered the chance to host a final show where he could sign off on his own terms and, perhaps, give his fans an indication of where he intends to go next. Where that might be is anyone's guess, but if the last few years are anything to go on, Tucker Carlson will not be transitioning into a role where he does much good for the social fabric of the United States of America. |

"Anal plugs!" thunders North Dakota Republican Rep. Bernie Satrom. "Anal sex. Mutual masturbation. Rimming!" He's just issued a rare warning in the North Dakota House chamber: "To anyone listening at home with children, you might want to turn off the sound." A small child is sitting in spitting distance, and a group of high school students (who are, predictably, losing their shit at all this) are seated a few rows behind me in the House balcony. Satrom is reading from Let's Talk About It: The Teen's Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human, a work of graphic nonfiction for teens. He's making the case that this sex-ed book and others like it aren't educational but pornographic and should therefore be banned from public libraries. You could be forgiven for assuming that this imbroglio started with an uprising among inflamed readers from North Dakota. It's easy to imagine an irate group of parents, backed by Moms for Liberty or one of many similar organizations, discovering that an objectionable book exists in their community. Then they storm a school-board meeting or a children's story hour at a public library and demand its removal. That's not what happened in North Dakota. |

What would Logan Roy do? That's the question on everyone's minds as the Roy children head to Norway to make Succession's endgame deal with Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård). Three weeks ago, Matsson was the most screwed-over character out of anyone on the show. Following Roy's death, he's back in play. But no one is acting normal—do they ever?—and the loss of the family's patriarch has frazzled everyone's brains. As the full team arrives at Matsson's retreat for Episode Five, it's almost as if everyone has forgotten how to talk entirely. But even in a show where everyone is a self-interested, deranged wacko with nine-figure bank accounts to their name, it's still hard to remember that—in the end—they're all simply awful to each other. |
