Opinion | Put ‘Succession’ in the TV Pantheon
  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( Ross Douthat | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +5 min
Then, too, the show’s judgment on elites can be read in two distinct ways, one more left-wing and one more right-wing. This consciousness came with varying levels of self-delusion, and none of these shows fully forgave their protagonists in the end. But the possibility of redemption existed for them at least notionally, and I think that’s why “Succession” seems like such an outlier among its peers. I think this critique is partially fair, and that, along with the strengths I described above, there is a savage superficiality to some of the characterizations in “Succession” that’s beneath the psychological level achieved on other famous TV dramas. When it comes to the desire for redemption and honesty and love, though, I’m not sure “Succession” is as barren as Phillips seems to suggest.

A few minutes of number crunching showed he was spending about $110 to $140 a week on fuel for each of the four older, diesel Transits in his fleet.

LONDON, May 10 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Sweden’s rare disease drug maker is experiencing unfortunate deal side effects. On Wednesday, shares in Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (SOBI) (SOBIV.ST) fell 15% after it announced a plan to buy CTI BioPharma (CTIC.O), a specialist in rare blood cancers, for $1.7 billion. The Anglo-Swedish drugmaker refused to tender its shares amid a squabble over the U.S. rights for a respiratory drug. But SOBI’s new deal, which will be funded by a rights issue backed by main shareholder Investor AB (INVEb.ST), suggests Oelkers has support for a solo future. They do not reflect the views of Reuters News, which, under the Trust Principles, is committed to integrity, independence, and freedom from bias.
Online posts, however, miscaption the photo with the names of infamous concentration camps, such as Auschwitz, or falsely characterize the actual Slovak labour camp in the photo, Nováky, as a Nazi-run concentration camp. Senior historian at Yad Vashem Robert Rozett told Reuters via email that Nováky was not a concentration camp. UPN’s Jašek said that having a swimming pool was not usual for Slovak concentration and forced-labour camps. EXTERMINATION, CONCENTRATION CAMPSPaweł Sawicki, a spokesperson for the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum (here), told Reuters via email that concentration camps and extermination camps were different to forced-labour camps. The photo shows a forced-labour camp in Slovakia, where, according to three historians, conditions were different to those at Nazi-run concentration camps.
The Long Demise of the Stretch Limousine

“There wasn’t one stretch limousine on the show floor,” said Robert Alexander, president of the National Limousine Association, a trade group. “Not one.”Decades ago, stretch limos were a symbol of affluence, used almost exclusively by the rich and famous. Over time, they became more of a common luxury, booked for children’s birthday parties or by teenagers heading to the prom. These days, it seems as if hardly anyone is riding in a stretch limo. While the limousine name has stuck, the limo industry has shifted to chauffeur services in almost anything but actual stretch limos, which have largely been supplanted by black S.U.V.s, buses and vans.

But as electric vehicles have bulked up, they have also faced new questions over their environmental and safety impacts. Less emissions per mile More emissions per mile Electric vehicles Vehicle SIZE, BY WEIGHT: Heavier vehicles tend to have higher emissions.

JSW Steel expects to sell 22.6 million tonnes of steel in the 2022/23 fiscal year, Rao said, while production is seen at 23.6 million tonnes. Rao said steel demand from Europe was weak but local production cuts were "very severe", helping the company to boost exports. Rao also said there were concerns about the potential dumping of steel from China and Russia into the country. "The global economy is not doing well ... Everybody is looking for markets where they can sell. In 2021, JSW Steel raised $500 million from sustainability-linked bonds, which are linked to the issuer meeting certain environmental, social and governance goals.
NEW DELHI, Nov 19 (Reuters) - India scrapped export taxes on low-grade iron ore and on some intermediate steel products beginning Saturday, after months of complaints from miners and steel makers about loss of foreign sales opportunities. The government also reversed a May rise in export tax on iron ore concentrates other than roasted iron pyrites. The additional taxation imposed in May was intended to boost domestic supply of iron ore, a raw ingredient for making steel, and thereby hold down inflation. Major steel makers have urged the government to unwind the additional export taxation, saying it added to their problem of weakening international demand. Indian producers of low-grade ore depend largely on foreign markets, because most major domestic steel producers use high-grade iron ore.

(Ms. Didion’s death was the result of complications from Parkinson’s disease.) Ms. Didion’s stylish Corvette Stingray isn’t in the sale, but the photos that made it famous are. Quintana eventually pulled through, but died in 2005 at 39, a few months before Ms. Didion’s 2005 book, “The Year of Magical Thinking,” was published. In the book, Ms. Didion wrote about the heartbreak and challenges of that era of her life: “I learned to find equal meaning in the repeated rituals of domestic life. Following Ms. Didion’s passing, Ms. Smith, an artist and singer known as the “godmother of punk,” posted a tribute on Instagram, articulating what many felt.
Situația din țară s-ar putea înrăutăți după scrutinul parlamentar din 11 iulie. Asta pentru că formațiunile care vor intra în Legislativ s-ar putea să nu voteze un nou Guvern. Eu cred că starea lucrurilor s-ar putea complica şi mai mult, în comparaţie cu ceea ce am avut acum trei-patru luni. Asta dacă va fi greu de format un Guvern sau dacă Guvernul va fi format într-un mod forţat", a spus Diacov.Dumitru Diacov susţine că nu poate fi exclus scenariul unor noi alegeri anticipate după 11 iulie. Partidele care vor provoca aceste alegeri anticipate vor trebuie să explice cum s-a întâmplat asta.

Власти Словакии начали регистрировать желающих вакцинироваться против COVID-19 российским препаратом "Спутник V". Как сообщил глава Минздрава Владимир Ленгварский, все желающие получить российскую вакцину могут оставить заявку на правительственном сайте korona.gov.sk. Первая прививка вакциной "Спутник V" в Словакии будет сделана 7 июня. Ранее Ленгварский заявлял, что в республике есть немалое число желающих сделать прививки именно вакциной "Спутник V". В правительстве выступали против закупки "Спутника V" до тех пор, пока его не одобрит европейский регулятор, шесть министров покинули кабинет и призвали к отставкам Матовича и Крайчи, что оба позднее и сделали.

Automakers are now shifting to electric vehicles, which could make up one-quarter of new sales by 2035 , analysts project. Around the world, governments and automakers are focused on selling newer, cleaner electric vehicles as a key solution to climate change. Some Democrats have proposed reviving that program to accelerate the shift to electric vehicles. In that scenario, the researchers found, the United States could cut emissions just as deeply with around 205 million electric vehicles. “Right now it can be inconvenient to own an electric vehicle if there are no charging stations around.
Guvernul britanic a anunţat vineri că toţi călătorii care sosesc în Anglia, inclusiv cei care locuiesc acolo, vor trebui, începând de săptămâna viitoare, să prezinte un teste COVID negativ efectuat în termen de 72 de ore înaintea deplasării, informează AFP.Chiar dacă au un rezultat negativ la test, persoanele din ţările cu risc ridicat vizate de măsurile de carantină vor trebui să continue să se auto-izoleze timp de zece zile, a precizat executivul de la Londra într-un comunicat.Această măsură are ca scop protejarea ţării "împotriva noilor tulpini de coronavirus precum cele observate în Danemarca şi Africa de Sud".Alături de carantină, "testarea înaintea plecării va oferi o linie de apărare suplimentară, ajutându-ne să controlăm virusul pe măsură ce vom administra vaccinul în mod susţinut în următoarele câteva săptămâni", a adăugat ministrul transporturilor Grant Shapps.Confruntată cu un focar de contaminări atribuit unei variante a virusului, Marea Britanie este ţara europeană cu cel mai mare număr al deceselor provocate de COVID-19. Peste 78.500 de decese s-au produs în termen de 28 de zile de la un test pozitiv.Strategia guvernului britanic de combatere a epidemiei se bazează în principal pe izolare, care a început oficial miercuri în Anglia, precum şi pe administrarea accelerată a celor două vaccinuri autorizate, Pfizer/BioNTech şi Oxford / AstraZeneca.Persoanele care sosesc cu trenul, feribotul sau avionul vor trebui să aibă un test negativ înainte de îmbarcare şi pot fi supuşi controlului la sosire. În cazul nerespectării acestor reglementări, există riscul unei amenzi imediate de 500 de lire sterline (553 euro).Sunt prevăzute şi excepţii, în special pentru transportatorii rutieri şi copiii cu vârsta sub 11 ani.La sfârşitul lunii decembrie, autorităţile britanice au restricţionat sosirile din Africa de Sud, unde a fost identificată o nouă variantă a coronavirusului.De la jumătatea lunii decembrie, carantina cu durata de zece zile poate fi scurtată la cinci zile în cazul unui rezultat negativ la cel puţin cinci zile de la sosire, măsură destinată redresării industriei transporturilor.
