*Spoilers ahead*

I was going to rant about how Season 3 of Industry wasn't Industrying for me. I was going to bitch about the infamous "Season 3 Slump" some shows tend to suffer from. I was going to compare it to The Bear and complain that just like I hadn't gotten enough of Sydney Adamu in S3, I wasn't getting enough of Harper Stern in S3.

I was going to ask if Harper was being phased out in favor of Yasmin and Robert, and I was going to point out that as fond as I am both of those characters, neither one is "enough" to lead this show alongside Eric the way Harper is.

I was also going to call Kit Harington's casting publicity casting and point out that anybody could've been played Henry Muck, because I don't feel like Kit did anything special acting wise.

I was going to do all of that and then...last night's episode dropped.

Y'ALL. Since the end of S2 I've been waiting for Harper to rain fire and blood on PierPoint. I wanted to see how she'd do it and how long she'd draw out the pain and agony. When she started the fund with Petra and became a client of Pierpoint's (and demanded first class service from Eric), I was like, "That's cute and all...but it's not fire and blood."

Watching her scheme with Kenny, Daria, and Jackie, my jaw fell on the floor. I started screaming, "There's my Harper! THERE'S my fucking Harper Stern." And then seeing Eric blow up....

Speaking of Eric, I had no complaints about him this season. Both Ken Leung and the writers did some excellent work; I just felt I needed to see more interactions with Harper (I've dubbed their father/daughter ship Harpsichord). But depriving us worked, because he's been avoiding her all season when she clearly wants his attention, and when he finally confronted her in her office, it was AMAZING! I was soooooo happy when he finally addressed the daddy elephant in the room and she finally pointed out her "monstrous" tendencies stem from him, and PierPoint by and large. Because when we first met Harper, she was too afraid to even pick up the phone.

Eric dragged her kicking and screaming from her shell, tutored her, molded her, and taught her the art of betrayal. He made her a monster and now he's mad...that she's a monster?

And after that, Yasmin's storyline FINALLY paid off, and it was eye-opening.

You have to understand something about me; I'm asexual, so I miss a lot of cues and when it comes to sex on TV, I typically fast forward through that shit because I don't care. I don't think it contributes to the story but this time, it actually did. I now understand why Yasmin feels the impulse to get sexually involved with damn near everybody. Since S1, I found it annoying and thought it was just some dumb thing the writers were throwing in (because so many shows do that shit), but this time, it had an actual point. Yasmin's father weaponized his wealth and status so he could fuck anything with a pulse, so is it any surprise she learned to do the same?

In fact, I think the only reason she blew up at Eric at the restaurant was that she didn't find him attractive. If she did, they would've ended up in that bathroom together. Because wealth and status (and pale skin privilege) taught Yasmin that she can behave in this manner with no consequences (Harper obviously cannot).

Which brings us to the seasonal Harper/Yasmin confrontation. A part of me wants them to be friends, another part a couple, and yet another part thinks they need to permanently split up. Such is the reality of life, and a testament to the writers. Yeah, yeah...Harper's a "monster", but I don't think Yasmin is a "talentless and useless and a fucking whore." Yasmin speaks seven languages, is a deft manipulator, and simply needs to learn that screwing your coworkers, clients, and boss is unprofessional and extremely tacky.

And Harper, honey, sweetie, boo...let that man go. Your little crush should've wrapped up in S1 the minute he chose the spicy white girl who treats him like dirt. I get that Robert's an adorable sweetheart and all, but you're not his preference and you need to get over him. Matter of fact, you've been making bank for a while now - why are you still living with these people?

This is the one part of the story that really works my nerve, but I can't really criticize it because it's real. Harper likes Robert; he's a good guy she has to see everyday at both work and home. The part of her that feels both inferior AND superior to Yasmin desperately wants to "win" him from the spicy white girl who treats him like dirt. That's real. It's as annoying as Yasmin's ill-advised sexcapades, but they're young, insecure women in a cutthroat world, and it's real.

Hey, you wanted a more devastating version of that scene right

He drinks his coffee down fast. He goes into the crew chief office to check the weather, and then he hops in a Jeep to get to work.  He slams on the brakes when he spots the last fort on the runway. One that shouldn't be there. Next to a Jeep that should also not be there. He nearly falls out of his Jeep to run towards the fort. It can't be. Oh, god, it can't be.  And then Egan tumbles out of the hatch, reeking of whiskey and sweat, and Ken can't breathe. He's seen Egan drunk before. But this isn't drunk. This is. Ken has a sudden, sharp memory of his granddaddy's death when he was twelve. Of his granny on the day that it happened. The way she went still and quiet in a way he'd never seen from her, though she'd always been poised and reserved.  Grief. Ugly, unstoppable grief. Egan stares at him, and words tumble from Ken's mouth before he can stop them. "You okay, Major? We're all going to miss Major Cleven, Sir." "Fuck you, Lemmons," Egan says, the words oddly sharp for a man who can barely stand up. "I wouldn't say that shit to you if Rosie went down." Ken doesn't know he's swinging until he feels his fist hit Egan's jaw, and then the pain of it shocks him back into the present. He goes very still. Egan's bent double, hands on his knees, his cigarette still smoking on the runway. "Oh, fuck," Ken breathes out.  Egan spits onto the runway. He reaches down and picks up his cigarette. He sticks it back into his mouth and works his jaw back and forth.  "I–" Ken goes quiet and still when Egan slings an arm around his shoulders.  "Weather report," he says as he presses his fingertips to his jaw.  Ken stares at him for a moment. Egan doesn't look at him, just walks him a few steps away from the fort. "Supposed to clear up," he says.  "Oh, good," Egan says. He takes his arm off Ken's shoulders and tosses his cigarette away. He runs a hand through his hair. "You punch like someone I used to know, Lemmons," he says.  Ken doesn't know what to say to that. "Want a ride, Major?" he asks because Egan's circling his Jeep, and it's the kind of offer a Sergeant makes to a Major.  "Nah, I'll be all right," Egan says as he steps into his Jeep.  "You sure, Sir?" Ken asks. Because Egan's drunk and grieving and just took a punch to the face, and Ken's no braggart, but he knows the strength in his arms. "Don't worry, Kenny," Egan says, "I don't even feel it." Ken's stomach goes cold as he watches Egan drive off. All he can think about is that Egan's clearly going up today, and Robert's going with him. He wonders if it's his turn to lose the love of his life.

Researchers map early human skeletal development, identifying key cells and pathways

- By Nuadox Crew -

Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and collaborators have created the first detailed map of human skeletal development in the first trimester.

This study, part of the Human Cell Atlas project, identifies all the cells and pathways involved in early skeletal formation, including those critical for skull and bone growth. By using cutting-edge genomic techniques, they have provided insights into how cartilage acts as a scaffold for bone development, except for the top of the skull. This map highlights cells that could be diagnostic and therapeutic targets for conditions like craniosynostosis, where soft spots in the skull fuse too early, and osteoarthritis, where cartilage repair genes may influence joint health.

Key findings include the identification of genes in early bone cells that might increase the risk of hip arthritis and genes in early cartilage cells linked to knee arthritis. The study also examined the effects of 65 clinically approved drugs on skeletal development, emphasizing the importance of this atlas in assessing drug safety during pregnancy.

Overall, the skeletal atlas is a freely available resource that enhances our understanding of bone development and its implications for skeletal conditions in both children and adults. This research is part of a broader collection of over 40 Human Cell Atlas publications that advance our knowledge of human biology and disease.

'Not sure if you’ve noticed, but it’s hot out there.

So hot that I actually took a peek at this great guide my Times colleagues put together titled: “Cool off in 14 of L.A.’s hottest pools with day passes.” Which, back in the day, I used to do all the time, except then a “day pass” consisted of waiting for a hotel guest to leave the pool area and then slipping in the gate. Or hopping the fence when no one was around. But, admittedly, that was a long time ago, all the way back in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say “dickety” ’cause the Kaiser had stolen our word “twenty.” I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles ...

One way to cool off would be to head to the movies, sit in an air-conditioned theater and check out “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” for the first time, or maybe the third time. They’re pretty addictive. And it’s so freakin’ hot outside that you might not even mind the 30-minute barrage of commercials and trailers before the movie starts. Bonus time in a cool, dark place. What’s not to like?

My colleague Brian Contreras writes that both movies are expected to continue doing robust business — as they have during the week. So, go, get into the spirit and put on some pink or don an exaggerated porkpie hat. You won’t be alone in your enthusiasm.

Ken’s ‘sweet kind of rebellion’ in ‘Barbie’

That’s how my pal Mark Olsen described Ken’s journey in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” as he discovers this thing called the patriarchy — and that he loves it — and then brings those ideas back to Barbie Land to rechristen it his “Ken-dom,” refashioning Barbie’s dream house into his “mojo dojo casa house.”

Of course, he does all this simply because he just wants Barbie to notice him.

Mark spoke with Ryan Gosling, who plays the movie’s main Ken, and Greta Gerwig, who directed and co-wrote “Barbie,” not too long ago about the movie, their collaboration and, yes, Gosling’s uproariously straight-faced performance of the 1997 Matchbox 20 song “Push,” which, as Mark writes, gets to the “emotional manipulation underneath the song’s lyrics.”

“When you put on Greta Gerwig glasses, you start to see,” Gosling says. “I heard that song my whole life, but I had never heard that song really until she pointed it out.” (I was always more partial to “3AM.”)

Christopher Nolan goes deep on ‘Oppenheimer’

Meanwhile, my old friend Kenny Turan sat down with Christopher Nolan, enjoying — what else? — freshly brewed cups of Earl Grey and some good conversation about Nolan’s extraordinary new movie, “Oppenheimer,” an absorbing look at J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb.”

“More than anything,” Kenny writes, “Nolan is intent on honoring his subject’s often contradictory impulses, neither fleeing from nor fudging the ruinous difficulties he got himself into, in the scientific arena and in personal and political matters as well.”

“We don’t want to judge him, we want to be him, we want to be swept up in his life, to see the world through his eyes,” Nolan says. “In film we don’t often get the opportunity to drill down on these particular moments. Do we know exactly why we do things? Oppenheimer was an extreme form of what we all do.”

Me ... I’m drinking margaritas from a blender right now ... and I know exactly why I’m doing it. It’s scorching out there! See you next week.'
