It’s so weird seeing “Stewey” with a kind, non-threatening smile. Props to the actor!

[@jamesclaytonbowman5977]

the Wisconsin scenario in that episode was absolutely chilling.

I think that your show, Mehdi, is the best on MSNBC.

I didn't realise that Americans were aware of the British Murdoch hearing. How is he not in jail?

[@kwokfanfan3606]

Some Americans read the Economist, Guardian and watch BBC.

[@grahambuckerfield4640]

At the time, one of the Murdoch employees was the then Prime Minister’s press man, office in Downing Street etc. He would be jailed for his part in the phone hacking. The PM, Cameron, promised a further investigation as more illegal activities became apparent. The Murdoch press being staunch supporters of his party so of course that never happens. But it and the court cases have not gone away.

Sorry. No way that Gerri wasn't into Roman in some (demented) way.

[@ororomunroe4055]

I don't think she was, she thought he had potential and grew to care for him, not in the way he would've wanted though but he totally disappointed her.

[@DD-sr9xm]

Great show, and great dialogue, but the final season plot is just nonsensical to anyone in finance. They were selling a problematic company at a huge premium. They decided to undermine that deal and keep the company. But to lose that battle means they lose the company but get cashed out at a huge premium (ok a lot was in equity). I know the show is called Succession and the idea is who wins the big job but how upset can they really be when “losing” is actually winning financially?

[@ablaze861]

Kendall, Shiv and Roman were never focused on the money. In a highly competitive family, winning (even if you're actually losing) is all that matters. For those three, winning meant becoming the King/President/CEO of Waystar/Royco. I'm not wealthy, but I understand.

[@alexgisi8779]

Why would they care about the premium? They've always had enough money to do whatever they wanted. It's clear from the past four seasons all they want is to live up to what they think their dad wanted.

[@schmuck.on.wheels]

I mean yeah it was very clear that they're making financially unsound decisions due to their own sentiments and desire for validation/power. The kids have never been especially wise characters lol.

THREAD: What is wokeness? The short answer: identity-based Marxism The oppressors in this brand of Marxism are whites, straight people, men, and Christians. Woke ideology sees oppression from these groups in every aspect of Western life: free markets, law and order, home ownership, the family- you name it. The utopian goal of wokeness is a mirror image of what was attempted in Mao’s China and Stalin’s USSR- equal outcomes for all, regardless of merit, skills, or effort. They call it “equity”.

[@BrattyBetty]

Hey Chuckle Head🤡 What is Webster's definition of woke? ˈwōk. chiefly US slang. : aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues especially of racial and social injustice. It is the opposite of uninformed, or cynical, or super sure you know it all. It is also the opposite of “bored.”
