• Recap: The Valley S2E12, Will You Maui Me?

  The proposal episode feels like a romcom with its heartfelt moments amidst Luke's nerves, Zach's stress, and Nia's efforts to make sure Kristen showers and dresses up. Their careful planning pays off and Detective Doute is completely surprised and shocked by a beautiful and emotional moment. Things take an unexpected turn as Janet's initial reaction is disdain that her vacation away from her baby has been centered around Kristin's engagement, while also deciding to remove herself from gatherings to prioritize Kristin's moment devoid of negativity. Brittany is crestfallen to learn that she was left out of planning, and fishin', as Zach feels the sting of her party planning feedback. In the end, Kristin feels like the luckiest girl in the world so the trip was a success. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

• Book Review: Careless People, Part 6 - Harassment Indifference, Leveraging Feminist Fight Club, and Quid Pro Guo

  Chapters 38-43 are covered in this review of the whistleblowing book by former Facebook/Meta insider, Sarah Wynn-Williams. As Sarah is preparing to leave the company, she tries in vain to get details of the ongoing harassment from her boss, Joel Kaplan, on record with the legal team. Instead, she ends up coerced to take over his work with China, a country she'd been known to avoid due to her personal disapproval with how it had been handled by Mark and the leadership team. Once brought up to speed, the extent of Facebook/Meta's proposals, deals, and compromises with the Chinese government leave her reeling.

• Recap: The Valley, S2E11 - El Coyote Ugly

  As the group prepares for a trip to Maui, they attempt to squash issues by utilizing tactics that range from a life coach to a famous Mexican restaurant. As the boyz touch chests and stare into each other's eyes, the women yell expletives over a margarita machine. Luke deals with the stress of executing a surprise for Detective Doute while also navigating emotions about his grandmother's illness, relying on Danny and Nia to act as the trip's organizers. Jax continues to disappoint and frustrate Brittany, and the viewers, with his warped priorities post-treatment but, thankfully, he skips the Maui vacation. The episode ends with Jesse confronting Aaron about the years-long infidelity theory he's become attached to, leaving us with a 'To Be Continued' screen.

• Recap: The Valley S2E10 - You've Been Served

  Unfortunately, this episode focuses on Jax. We witness his first haircut, botox session, and boyz noight out after being released from treatment, all while lamenting about not yet seeing his son despite not contacting the mother of his child. A party for Zach's boyfriend Benji provides an opportunity for Jax to reintroduce himself to the group and massage the narrative that he's doing great, never had a problem with drinking or drugs, and is instead focusing on an anger problem. Zach's lack of respect or reverence for Jax is a highlight and fun to watch after all the cowering and deference from every other man on the show. Danny and Nia continue to battle criticism about Darkside Danny from Janet and Jason, Luke's relationship with Danny stays strong as they plot the upcoming Hawaii proposal trip, and Michelle reveals that Jesse is preventing their daughter from seeing her terminally ill mother.

• Roasting The Broligarchy: Pandering Parades, Unconstitutional Bombs, and Powerful Protests

  After reviewing why the impromptu bombing of Iran violates the U.S. Constitution, we delve into the semantics of war, the optics of the post-bombing Presidential address, and various possible motivations, as well as potential outcomes. Then, how Trump continues to bring shame upon these lands by made sure to advocate for his dear friend, Vladimir, at the recent G7 meeting, all while our Vice President, JD "I'm a never Trump guy" Bowman, follows the ill-fitting suit by calling our former Presidents "dumb" while singing the praises of the grifting man he once warned people about. Recent NO KINGS protests exceeded the all important 3.5% mark, and made it clear that American citizens do not support the hateful mess in the White House. Lastly, and most importantly, we acknowledge the wave of senseless violence against peaceful protestors and politicians alike.
