In the meantime, here is a quick summary of how some of those questions were answered by the finale. Instead, Matsson becomes convinced that the sycophantic Tom will do whatever dirty deed the new bosses need done after the takeover.

  + stars: | 2023-05-27 | by ( Beatrice Nolan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Viewers say the character seems to resemble aspects of both Elon Musk and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek. Alexander Skarsgard plays Matsson, the billionaire CEO of tech streaming media giant GoJo – a socially awkward, vaguely sinister tech bro. But viewers have been pointing out the character's similarities to two bosses in particular — Elon Musk, and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek. "I definitely didn't try to play an Elon Musk character," Skarsgard said. In one recent episode of "Succession," Matsson tweets a "very nasty joke" after Kendall Roy's presentation about the Living+ initiative because he's less than pleased about the move.

☆ British Spies, Japanese Teens and a German Cop’s Wild Ride
  + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( Mike Hale | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
It has been a quiet season for international television on American screens — nothing has grabbed attention on a “Squid Game” or “Downton Abbey” scale. But barely a day goes by, in the streaming age, without an interesting series washing up from some foreign shore. Here are four recent shows worth tracking down, from an elegant British thriller to a Chinese dramedy about a demon god and an immortal warrior who meet cute on the mortal plane. ‘A Spy Among Friends’Alexander Cary, a writer and executive producer on “Homeland,” wrote this six-episode spy thriller as a leisurely, literate, three- or four-dimensional game of chess. Tightly controlled yet somehow relaxed, Lewis gives a performance in which the coldblooded manipulator and the sentimentally loyal bro coexist at every moment.
☆ 500 Miles of Father-Son Bonding
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Gregory Cowles | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
It’s a good setup for a travel memoir, ripe with opportunities to revisit the past and measure his own faded youth against the full flourishing of his son’s young adulthood. And McCarthy — who wrote about his Brat Pack years in a previous memoir and has established a respectable second career as a travel writer — makes the most of them. He muses about his failed marriage to Sam’s mother, and his current marriage to the mother of his two younger children. Raised Catholic, he duly notes the pilgrimage’s churchly roots but evinces little religious impulse himself. But it makes Sam a singularly frustrating travel companion at times, for his father as much as the reader.

Decarb bros believe it’s all going to be OK. And the bros, a loose affiliation of mostly young researchers, climate tech workers, policymakers and people following along online, believe in making fun of themselves, at least a little. See: “Decarb bros,” a term they have embraced regardless of gender identity or weight-lifting ability. “We are against doomerism,” said Billy Casagrande, who works at Scale Microgrids, a climate tech start-up. The consensus among young people seems to be “that we are screwed as it relates to climate,” the self-described decarb bro, who is 25, continued.

☆ Our Throuple Fell Apart. What Are the Rules of the Breakup?
  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Kwame Anthony Appiah | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Nearly a year ago, I began dating two friends — I’ll call them Rachel and Dave — who were already themselves in a relationship. The throuple ended fairly quickly, with no one being at fault; the other two continued to date but broke up not too long afterward. Since then, Rachel and Dave have dated on and off, Rachel and I were casually together and Dave and I have been close friends who sleep together occasionally. At times, we have all behaved badly, sleeping together behind the other’s back, knowing the knowledge would hurt the other. Do Rachel and Dave get “priority,” in that they should be together and I should not pursue either, because they dated first?

One current SVB employee is on the front lines of what has been dubbed the worst bank crisis since 2008. The best thing about working at SVB is its tight-knit, supportive culture: "We had a good thing going." I work at SVB, and as you might surmise, the situation sucks. What makes it really sting, though, is how the awesome culture I've experienced here is forever stained by those failures. And even now, it feels like the whole bank has really rallied around trying to show that we're more than just a bank.
