What’s happened to The Gilded Age 😭😭 It’s become darker than sin and I could’ve swore it wasn’t one of “those” HBO shows :)))) #chiaroscuro #thegildedage

Haven’t watched Ballard yet but did binge #TooMuch and #TheEternaut ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 it feels like the binges keep dropping even in the generally deemed dead summer season - and i’m so here for it!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Too Much skims across culture clash for love
Too Much, Lena Dunham's answer to Ted Lasso or Emily in Paris, is all breeze. THE show to cuddle up with on the beach. Just don't think about it too hard. If you're primed for romcom, it's 10/10.

I couldn’t suspend disbelief for Sandman, all that stuff I read on Vulture informed my viewing to the point that I couldn’t enjoy the fantasy. And I think that’s a healthy response. Bummer though :/
Couch Potato for Murica's Weekend 🎆
With new seasons of The Bear and Sandman out, you probably have your hands full this July 4th weekend. Both are navel-gazers, but only one is adding to the zeitgeist. Smaller gems recced below too💎

This new season of the Gilded Age gives me so much, a feeling of continuity and renewal, not least of all the structure summer needs 🥹🥹🥹 Ep 1 is out now on MAX

Blue Sky wasn’t always a social platform ;) It used to denote a kind of series that was being commissioned by USA, and I wrote a bit on Substack about the revival of the blue-sky ethos today - [it’s in Romanian] ioanina.substack.com

H/t #ParrotAnalytics - #SUBTERAN is "the most successful title internationally from Romania"! It’s not just popular across the Netflix footprint, it’s even sought after in non-NFLX territorieS ( 🏴‍☠️) I love that Parrot Analytics can track that sort of shady demand as well as the above-board numbers 🤭🤭

President Trump is set to speak Monday with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in what the U.S. president said is an attempt to stop the “bloodbath” of the war in Ukraine.
Trump set to implore Putin to end the 'bloodbath' in Ukraine in high-stakes phone call
Ahead of the much anticipated call, leaders from Britain, France, Germany and Italy said they spoke Sunday with Trump, after Russia and Ukraine remained far apart in direct talks last week.

Every national film fund across the EU (and a lot of those who aren’t in the EU) invites series to apply for funding, not just films. Every one - except Romania’s. And that’s why we can’t have nice things.

Romania lives to fight another day. The guru was duly thrown out of the race for the presidency of a democracy he explicitly didn’t want democratic. #democracy #europeanunion #globalization

What Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, is saying today is not so different to what Cheney, then the US defence secretary, said in 1989: “We must guard against gambling our nation’s security on what may be a temporary aberration in the behaviour of our foremost adversary.” www.ft.com/content/3507...
Europe should hijack Trump’s revolutionary plans for the world
Liberal nationalists must respond with imagination to US policies rather than gripe at being cut out of Ukraine talks

I learned a new word today c/o @financialtimes.com . Cock-a-hoop. As in, chuffed. As in, what the AfD is at Vance’s warm embrace. I’m sure the disgust at the sentence will help make the word a vocabulary staple. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Is there the teeniest-weeniest possibility that all this tariffs nonsense is insider trading stock manipulation by Trump to reward the cronies who put him in power, I dunno, just wondering.

Finalizada la serie rumana #Subteran en Netflix. Un thriller sucio y exótico que funciona bastante bien para mostrar la corrupción del país a muchos niveles con una buena protagonista en Ana Uluru . Me ha gustado más de lo que esperaba
