Magnum (Wonder Man)
Criação: Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Guest
Estúdio: Marvel Studios (Television), Family Owned, Onyx Collective, Disney
Estreia: 27 de janeiro de 2026O ano de 2026 da Marvel começa já em janeiro com o lançamento de “Wonder Man” ou como é conhecido no Brasil “Magnum“, a 17ª série de televisão do Universo Cinematográfico Marvel (MCU), produzida pela Marvel Studios através de seu selo Marvel Television. A série também é produzida pela Family Owned e Onyx Collective.
Nesta minissérie de oito episódios criada por Destin Daniel Cretton e Andrew Guest, acompanhamos Simon Williams — vivido por Yahya Abdul-Mateen II — um ator frustrado e cheio de ambições que vai de rejeições em audições até a chance de uma vida: interpretar o icônico Wonder Man numa nova versão do filme de super-herói dos anos 1970.
O showrunner Andrew Guest descreveu o personagem como “incrivelmente poderoso de uma forma que nem ele mesmo tem plena consciência”, com o executivo da Marvel Studios, Brian Gay, acrescentando que Simon “nem sabe a extensão de seus poderes”, embora ambos tenham observado que o personagem não se importa de ter poderes e simplesmente quer ser um ator de sucesso como Daniel Day-Lewis.
Abdul-Mateen explicou que Simon esconde seus poderes porque eles são malvistos na Hollywood ficcional do MCU. O personagem permitiu que ele explorasse “alguma tridimensionalidade” entre seu passado e seu relacionamento com a família, enquanto ainda era um super-herói.
Ben Kingsley retorna como Trevor Slattery, ator que fracassado que anteriormente assumiu a identidade do Mandarim , trabalhando para Aldrich Killian em Homem de Ferro 3, e que mais tarde foi sequestrado pela organização Dez Anéis de Xu Wenwu em Shang-Chi e a Lenda dos Déz Anéis, que também está fazendo testes para o filme do Wonder Man.
Slattery retorna a Hollywood após o rompimento com o Mandarim e os Dez Anéis para encontrar uma “segunda chance” como ator e provar à sua mãe, Dorothy, que ele era “o ator que [ela] sempre esperou que ele fosse”, com o Wonder Man mostrando Slattery assumindo a responsabilidade por seu comportamento passado.
Guest chamou Slattery de um “personagem tipo Forrest Gump , tipo Chauncey Gardiner ” que consegue se “envolver em coisas maiores”. O produtor executivo e presidente da Marvel Television, Brad Winderbaum disse que o personagem tinha uma “estrutura de três atos muito interessante” dentro da série, que era “muito sincera, muito séria [e] não cínica”, com Kingsley acrescentando que Slattery é “puxado em duas direções”, incluindo a busca por sua ambição, mas “a um custo terrível”.
O elenco ainda conta com Arian Moayed como P. Cleary, um agente do Departamento de Controle de Danos, Zlatko Burić como Von Kovak, diretor célebre que está dirigindo o remake de Wonder Man, Demetrius Grosse como Eric Williams/Ceifador, o irmão mais velho “estável” de Simon, X Mayo, Olivia Thirlby, Byron Bowers, Josh Gad, Lauren Glazier, Béchir Sylvain, Manny McCord, Simon Templeman, Joe Pantoliano,Dane Larsen, Phumzile Sitole, Jere Burns e Ed Harris como o agente de Simon, Neal Saroyan.
“Magnum” é descrito como autoconsciente e metalinguístico, uma sátira que comenta, com humor e sensibilidade, sobre a própria cultura dos super-heróis e a saturação do gênero, sem perder de vista a jornada humana de seus protagonistas.
“Magnum” (Wonder Man) estreia com todos os oito episódios em 27 de janeiro no catálogo do Disney+.

Ela não quer ser uma heroína, ela é relutante.”
O elenco também conta com Eve Ridley como Ruthye Marye Knoll, a jovem que recruta a Supergirl em sua jornada para vingar a morte de seu pai, Matthias Schoenaerts como o vilão Krem das Colinas Amarelas, além de David Krumholtz e Emily Beecham, que viverão Zor-EL e Alura In-Ze, os pais da Kara, enquato David Corenswet reprisa seu papel como o primo de Kara, Superman em uma participação especial.

VisionQuest
Criação: Terry Matalas
Estúdio: Marvel Studios (Television), Disney
Estreia: Segundo semestre de 2026Imagine um herói que sempre esteve no meio do Universo Cinematográfico Marvel, mas que agora precisa olhar para dentro de si mesmo para descobrir quem ele realmente é. Essa é a proposta de “VisionQuest“, a minissérie, pronta para fechar uma trilogia iniciada por “WandaVision” (2021) e continuada em “Agatha Desde Sempre” (2024).
Paul Bettany reprisa seu papel como Visão Branco — a versão reconstruída do androide Visão. Após os eventos de WandaVision, ele carrega todas as memórias do Visão original, mas luta para conectar essas lembranças com emoções reais, iniciando uma jornada profunda de autodescoberta que promete ser ao mesmo tempo introspectiva e surpreendentemente humana.
Criada por Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard), o enredo mergulha no psicológico, levando o espectador literalmente para dentro da mente de Visão, onde programas de inteligência artificial criados por Tony Stark — como Ultron, J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y. e E.D.I.T.H. — ganham formas humanas e conversam com ele de maneiras inesperadas e até perturbadoras.
Além disso, a série promete reunir personagens que marcaram décadas do UCM, com James Spader retornando como Ultron e um elenco que inclui Todd Stashwick como Paladino, um caçador de recompensas que está caçando Visão, T’Nia Miller como Jocasta, Emily Hampshire como EDITH, Orla Brady como FRIDAY, Henry Lewis como DUM-E, Jonathan Sayer como U e James D’Arcy como JARVIS, a primeira IA criada por Stark.
Além disso, Faran Tahir reprisa seu papel como Raza, o líder da facção Dez Anéis que sequestrou Stark no filme “Homem de Ferro” (2008). Também aparecem Lauren Morais como Lisa Molinari, Diane Morgan como uma associada de Paladin; e Mary McDonnell em um papel não revelado.
O ator Ruaridh Mollica vai interpretar Tommy Maximoff, filho velocista de Visão e Wanda Maximoff , cuja alma foi colocada no corpo adolescente de Thomas Shepherd por seu irmão gêmeo Billy Maximoff na série Agatha Desde Sempre (2024).
“VisionQuest” estreia no segundo semestre de 2026 no catálogo do Disney+.

Desta vez a produção que veremos neste ano se concentrar em John Stewart fazendo dupla com a lenda da Tropa Hal Jordan. Com criação de Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof e Tom King, a série “Lanternas” acompanha o experiente Lanterna Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) e o recruta novato John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) enquanto investigam um assassinato no Nebraska, o que os leva a mistérios e acertos de contas mais sombrios.
Kyle Chandler viverá Hal Jordan, um ex-piloto de testes e membro lendário da Tropa dos Lanternas Verdes que está se aproximando da aposentadoria, e está treinando John Stewart. Os roteiristas se inspiraram na interpretação de Sam Shepard como Chuck Yeager no filme “Os Eleitos” (1983).
O showrunner Chris Mundy sentiu que Chandler tinha as mesmas qualidades, bem como um humor seco que eles consideravam importante para Jordan.
Aaron Pierre será John Stewart, um novo recruta dos Lanternas Verdes que Jordan está treinando para substituí-lo. Mundy disse que irão adaptar as duas origens do personagem, em que ele era tanto um fuzileiro naval quanto um arquiteto, e sentiu que Pierre poderia retratar ambos os aspectos.
Ele disse que Pierre era um “ator de teatro sério, mas também parece ter sido construído em um laboratório para ser uma estrela de ação”. O diretor James Hawes disse que Pierre tinha “uma presença magnífica. Ele parece tão imponente, tão frio, tão discreto.”
O elenco também conta com Kelly Macdonald como a xerife Kerry, Poorna Jagannathan como Zoe, possível interesse amoroso de John Stewart, Garrett Dillahunt como William Macon, Jason Ritter como Billy Macon, Nicole Ari Parker e Jasmine Cephas Jones como versões adulta e jovem de Bernadette Stewart, mãe de John, Sherman Augustus e J. Alphonse Nicholson como versões de John Stewart Sr., Chris Coy como Waylon Sanders, Ulrich Thomsen como o supervilão Sinestro e Paul Ben-Victor como Antaan, com rumores de que seja Atrocitus, vilão líder da Tropa dos Lanternas Vermelhos.
Outro nome especulado é o de Laura Linney, indicada três vezes ao Oscar e ao Emmy, como possível Carol Ferris, interesse romântico de Hal Jordan que também assume o papel de Safira Estrela nos quadrinhos.
A 1ª temporada de “Lanternas” estreia entre julho e setembro de 2026 na HBO e no catálogo da HBO Max (e daqui à alguns anos na Netflix).

Cara-de-Barro (Clayface)
Direção: James Watkins
Estúdio: DC Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures
Estreia: 10 de setembro de 2026Fazendo parte do novo Universo DC (DCU) de James Gunn, o terror corporal “Cara-de-Barro” (Clayface) vem mostrar a versatilidade de gêneros do Universo.
Com roteiro inicial foi escrito por Mike Flanagan (A Maldição da Residência Hill, A Maldição da Mansão Bly, Missa da Meia-Noite, A Queda da Casa de Usher, Doutor Sono), com revisões de Hossein Amini (Drive), e dirigido por James Watkins (“Não Fale o Mal”) o filme se baseará tanto no clássico A Mosca (1986), de David Cronenberg, quanto no icônico episódio Feat of Clay (Perito em Formas Humanas) de “Batman: A Série Animada“.
Tom Rhys Harries viverá Matt Hagen, um ator promissor que, após ter o rosto desfigurado por um gângster, se submete a um experimento da cientista Caitlin Bates (interpretada por Naomi Ackie), CEO de uma start-up de biotecnologia. O tratamento, no entanto, o transforma em uma criatura capaz de remodelar o corpo como argila e assumir múltiplas formas humanas. Max Minghella e Eddie Marsan também estão no elenco.
O filme é produzido por James Gunn e Peter Safran da DC Studios, com Matt Reeves (The Batman) e Lynn Harris pela 6th & Idaho. Chantal Nong Vo e Lars P. Winther atuam como produtores executivos.
“Cara-de-Barro” (Clayface) estreia nos cinemas brasileiros em 10 de setembro de 2026, com distribuição da Warner Bros. Pictures, e após sua jornada nos cinemas, o filme chegará no catálogo da HBO Max (e daqui à alguns anos na Netflix).
Seu Amigão da Vizinhança, Homem-Aranha – 2ª temporada
Criação: Jeff Trammell
Estúdio: Marvel Studios (Animation), Disney
Estreia: Segundo semestre de 2026A versão alternativa do Homem-Aranha do MCU retorna para a 2ª temporada, continuando com a premissa “e se a mentoria fosse ao contrário?” — com Norman Osborn como a influência orientadora (e possivelmente corrosiva) de Peter, em vez de Tony Stark.
O criador e showrunner Jeff Trammell permanece como o pilar tonal da série, mantendo-a fiel ao DNA clássico do Homem-Aranha em sua jornada de amadurecimento, enquanto permite que a premissa do multiverso reinvente a mitologia familiar.
Hudson Thames volta a dublar Peter Parker/Homem-Aranha, ao lado de vozes importantes que retornam, incluindo Colman Domingo como Norman Osborn e Charlie Cox como Demolidor. Personagens que também retornam da 1ª temporada incluem Nico Minoru, Harry Osborn, Otto Octavius, Dmitri Smerdyakov/Camaleão e Mac Gargan/Escorpião.
A personagem Gwen Stacy e o seu alter-ego Spider-Gwen, deve finalmente aparecer, mas ainda não se sabe quem a dublará.
A 2ª temporada de “Seu Amigão da Vizinhança, Homem-Aranha” estreia no segundo semestre de 2026 no catálogo do Disney+.
Vought Rising
Criação: Eric Kripke (showrunner: Paul Grellong)
Estúdio: Amazon MGM Studios, Sony Pictures Television, Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, Point Grey Pictures
Estreia: A definirJensen Ackles retorna como Soldier Boy, contracenando com Aya Cash como Stormfront (Tempesta), a heróina nazista em “Vought Rising“, a nova série derivada do Universo “The Boys“, que se passa na década de 1950.
Criada por Eric Kripke, com Paul Grellong atuando como showrunner, a série ambientada na década de 1950, a prequela apresenta um mistério de assassinato intrigante nos primórdios da Vought, acompanhando as primeiras experiências de Soldier Boy e as “manobras diabólicas” da Tempesta enquanto a mitologia da empresa nasce.
O elenco principal da série também inclui Mason Dye, que aparecerá na 5ª temporada da série principal como o herói Bombsight, Elizabeth Posey como a heróina Private Angel, Will Hochman como o herói Torpedo, além de Jorden Myrie, Nicolò Pasetti, Ricky Staffieri, Brian J. Smith e KiKi Layne.

Batman: Cruzado Encapuzado – 2ª temporada
Criação: Bruce Timm
Estúdio: Warner Bros. Animation, Amazon MGM Studios, Bad Robot Productions, 6th & Idaho, DC Entertainment
Estreia: A definirQuando Bruce Wayne decide que Gotham não vai sucumbir à criminalidade sem lutar, ele veste sua capa e mergulha de cabeça em uma guerra que é tão psicológica quanto física — e é exatamente essa intensidade que a 2ª temporada de “Batman: Cruzado Encapuzado” (Batman: Caped Crusader) promete elevar ao máximo.
A animação, uma das mais intrigantes releituras do mito do Homem-Morcego, foi criada por nomes lendários como Bruce Timm (Batman: A Série Animada), com produção de J.J. Abrams e Matt Reeves, trazendo uma Gotham de espírito noir dos anos 1940.
Na 1ª temporada, vimos um Bruce Wayne em sua cruzada solitária contra o crime, enfrentando gangues e vilões clássicos em uma cidade corroída pela corrupção e pelo medo, um retrato que chamou atenção por misturar estética retrô com narrativa moderna e sombria.
Agora, na 2ª temporada, essa tonalidade ganhará ainda mais profundidade quando o Coringa assume o papel de antagonista principal. James Tucker, co-showrunner da série, revelou que esta nova interpretação do Palhaço do Crime será bastante diferente das vertentes mais conhecidas.
A pré-produção já está em andamento, com roteiros sendo trabalhados e a equipe cumprindo os primeiros passos da produção, o que reforça a dedicação em entregar uma sequência digna do legado que a série instaurou.

Aranha-Noir (Spider-Noir)
Criação: Oren Uziel
Estúdio: Amazon MGM Studios, Sony Pictures Television, Lord Miller Productions, Pascal Pictures
Estreia: A definirPor anos, a Sony tentou estabelecer um universo live-action de vilões e personagens secundários do “Homem-Aranha”, (“Venom, Morbius, Madame-Teia, Kraven, o Caçador“) apesar de inúmeras tentativas os projetos se mostraram ser um tremendo fracasso, tendo apenas uma trilogia de sucesso.
Mas, de repente, o Homem-Aranha Noir, personagem imortalizado por Nicolas Cage no sucesso de animação “Homem-Aranha no Aranhaverso”, ganhou vida excepcionalmente rápido em 2024.
Desenvolvida por Oren Uziel e Steve Lightfoot, a série “Aranha-Noir (Spider-Noir)” traz Cage de volta ao papel de Noir, mas não interpretando Peter Parker, e sim Ben Riley, um investigador particular azarado que luta contra seu passado como o único super-herói da cidade na Nova York dos anos 1930.
Brendan Gleeson viverá um chefe da máfia de Nova York. Gleeson descreveu o personagem como um filósofo com “uma visão panorâmica” que é igualmente perigoso; Lamorne Morris será como Robbie Robertson, um jornalista trabalhador que busca histórias mais arriscadas para atrair atenção e progredir na carreira. O personagem apareceu na trilogia do Homem-Aranha, de Sam Raimi.
O elenco também inclui Jack Huston, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Lukas Hass, Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Andrew Lewis Caldwell, Amy Aquino, e Andrew Robinson.
A série é produzida pelos produtores do “Aranhaverso”, Phil Lord e Christopher Millerpela Lord Miller Productionse pela Amy Pascal, da Pascal Pictures.

Sunday Morning Reading
Something big is happening. Everywhere all at once. At a pace that seems like it’s uncontrollable. We can either try to keep up, or tune out. Those are the options. I choose to try and keep up, try and stay aware. Mostly just try. That’s one of the reason this Sunday Morning Reading column exists. To share some of the writing about some of things that I think keep me aware. Hope you agree.
I took the first sentence of the above paragraph from the excellent post from Matt Shumer. Yes, it’s called Something Big Is Happening. Because there are so many big things happening. As a spoiler, Matt’s post addresses Artificial Intelligence. Pay attention.
“Art begins when the words stop.” That’s a quote from the excellent Every Brushstroke Is A Philosophy In Motion by Natasha MH. It’s the text of a Valentine’s Day speech of hers. Read these first two pieces back to back. Connect the dots. Pay attention.
A Great Social Rewilding Is Coming. So says, David Todd McCarty. So say I as well.
Wonderful actor Bob Odenkirk tells us what his agenda will be in I Will Be Your Next President. He nails the moment. If he ran I’m sure he’d get votes. Probably mine. Can’t be much worse than what we’ve recently seen.
Mike Elgan writes Why There’s No ‘Screenless’ Revolution. I happen to agree that there won’t be one. Anyone still watching 3D TV?
Curtis McHale takes on Binary Bias, Cancel Culture, and the Death of Nuance. Sadly, it wasn’t a quick or a painless death.
There’s no question that journalism is in as big a mess as most everything else. David Brooks Sucks. This Is Who Should Replace Him by John Warner lays out the case for the first sentence. But read it for the links to those who he thinks should replace him.
The surveillance state is going to the dogs thanks to a Super Bowl ad. Mathew Ingram tells us about Building the Panopticon: The Doorbell Camera Version.
It’s been quite a cold winter, though it’s warming up a bit in these midwestern parts, but apparently this cold weather across most of the U.S. led to increased demand for firewood and just about anything that will burn. Neil Vigdor writes about it Shivering Americans Snap Up Firewood As Winter Grinds On.
And since this is Valentine’s Day weekend, I’ll close the circle with Catherynne M. Valente’s piece, On Valentine’s Day. There are indeed worse things to feast over.

Shrinking s’inscrit dans la durée avec une saison 4 déjà confirmée
Alors que la diffusion de sa troisième saison n’a pas encore débuté, la série Shrinking vient d’obtenir un renouvellement anticipé pour une saison 4 sur Apple TV+. Ce choix stratégique confirme la place centrale de cette comédie dramatique dans l’offre du service de streaming et souligne un succès critique et public durable depuis son lancement en 2023.
Un renouvellement anticipé révélateur de la confiance d’Apple TV+
Une annonce avant même la diffusion de la saison 3
Apple TV+ a officialisé le renouvellement de Shrinking pour une quatrième saison à quelques jours seulement de la première diffusion de la saison 3. Cette dernière débutera le 28 janvier avec la mise en ligne de son premier épisode, avant une diffusion hebdomadaire qui s’étendra jusqu’au 8 avril. Une telle anticipation témoigne d’une confiance affirmée du diffuseur dans le potentiel narratif et la stabilité de la série.
PublicitésUne stratégie de programmation assumée
Ce renouvellement précoce s’inscrit dans une logique de sécurisation des productions phares de la plateforme. En validant une saison supplémentaire avant même que les nouveaux épisodes ne rencontrent leur public, Apple TV+ affirme sa volonté d’inscrire Shrinking dans la durée. La série bénéficie ainsi d’une visibilité renforcée, tant auprès des abonnés que de l’industrie audiovisuelle.
Une distribution solide au cœur du succès de la série
Jason Segel et Harrison Ford en figures centrales
Jason Segel reprend son rôle principal dans Shrinking, aux côtés d’Harrison Ford, dont la présence a largement contribué à la notoriété du programme. Le casting principal réunit également Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell et Ted McGinley, formant un ensemble cohérent qui soutient l’équilibre entre comédie et drame.
PublicitésUn concept narratif toujours d’actualité
La série suit le parcours d’un thérapeute endeuillé qui décide de rompre avec les règles traditionnelles de sa profession en exprimant sans filtre ce qu’il pense à ses patients. En transgressant les principes éthiques et méthodologiques de la thérapie, il provoque des bouleversements majeurs dans la vie de ceux qu’il accompagne, tout en affrontant ses propres fragilités. Cette approche audacieuse continue d’alimenter la singularité du récit.
Une saison 3 enrichie par de nouveaux visages prestigieux
Des retours attendus et des invités réguliers
La troisième saison verra également le retour de plusieurs guest stars déjà appréciées du public, parmi lesquelles Brett Goldstein, Damon Wayans Jr., Wendie Malick et Cobie Smulders. Leur présence contribue à approfondir les intrigues secondaires et à renforcer la dynamique émotionnelle de la série.
PublicitésDes recrues de premier plan
Parmi les nouvelles arrivées figurent Jeff Daniels, Michael J. Fox, Candice Bergen, Sherry Cola et Isabella Gomez. Ces ajouts prestigieux viennent enrichir l’univers de Shrinking et soulignent l’attractivité du projet auprès d’acteurs reconnus.

Shrinking a été créée par Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel et Brett Goldstein, tous trois impliqués en tant que producteurs exécutifs. La série est produite pour Apple TV+ par Warner Bros.

Une reconnaissance critique et institutionnelle affirmée
Un accueil critique favorable depuis 2023
Depuis son lancement, Shrinking a su séduire aussi bien la critique que le public. La série a été régulièrement saluée pour la qualité de son écriture, l’équilibre de son ton et l’interprétation de ses comédiens. Cette réception positive a largement contribué à sa pérennité sur la plateforme.
PublicitésDes nominations prestigieuses
Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams et Michael Urie ont tous été nommés aux Emmy Awards pour leurs performances respectives. Segel et Ford ont également reçu des nominations aux Golden Globes. En 2025, Shrinking a par ailleurs été en lice dans la catégorie de la meilleure série comique aux Emmy Awards, consacrant son statut de valeur sûre du paysage télévisuel.
Le renouvellement anticipé de Shrinking pour une quatrième saison confirme la solidité artistique et la popularité croissante de la série sur Apple TV+. En conjuguant une écriture nuancée, un casting prestigieux et une reconnaissance critique constante, la production s’impose comme l’un des piliers de la plateforme. La diffusion de la saison 3, attendue dès le 28 janvier, devrait renforcer encore cet engouement.

En transgressant les principes éthiques et méthodologiques de la thérapie, il provoque des bouleversements majeurs dans la vie de ceux qu’il accompagne, tout en affrontant ses propres fragilités. Cette approche audacieuse continue d’alimenter la singularité du récit.
Une saison 3 enrichie par de nouveaux visages prestigieux
Des retours attendus et des invités réguliers
La troisième saison verra également le retour de plusieurs guest stars déjà appréciées du public, parmi lesquelles Brett Goldstein, Damon Wayans Jr., Wendie Malick et Cobie Smulders. Leur présence contribue à approfondir les intrigues secondaires et à renforcer la dynamique émotionnelle de la série.
PublicitésDes recrues de premier plan
Parmi les nouvelles arrivées figurent Jeff Daniels, Michael J. Fox, Candice Bergen, Sherry Cola et Isabella Gomez.

Une production portée par des créateurs reconnus
Un trio créatif à l’origine de la série
Shrinking a été créée par Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel et Brett Goldstein, tous trois impliqués en tant que producteurs exécutifs. La série est produite pour Apple TV+ par Warner Bros. Television, où Lawrence et Goldstein bénéficient d’accords globaux. Bill Lawrence supervise également la production via sa société Doozer Productions.
PublicitésUne équipe de production expérimentée
Aux côtés des créateurs, de nombreux producteurs exécutifs participent à la série, parmi lesquels Neil Goldman, James Ponsoldt, Jeff Ingold, Liza Katzer, Randall Winston, Rachna Fruchbom, Brian Gallivan, Ashley Nicole Black et Bill Posley. Cette équipe expérimentée assure une continuité créative et une cohérence narrative saluées par la critique.
Une reconnaissance critique et institutionnelle affirmée
Un accueil critique favorable depuis 2023
Depuis son lancement, Shrinking a su séduire aussi bien la critique que le public. La série a été régulièrement saluée pour la qualité de son écriture, l’équilibre de son ton et l’interprétation de ses comédiens. Cette réception positive a largement contribué à sa pérennité sur la plateforme.
PublicitésDes nominations prestigieuses
Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams et Michael Urie ont tous été nommés aux Emmy Awards pour leurs performances respectives. Segel et Ford ont également reçu des nominations aux Golden Globes. En 2025, Shrinking a par ailleurs été en lice dans la catégorie de la meilleure série comique aux Emmy Awards, consacrant son statut de valeur sûre du paysage télévisuel.
Le renouvellement anticipé de Shrinking pour une quatrième saison confirme la solidité artistique et la popularité croissante de la série sur Apple TV+. En conjuguant une écriture nuancée, un casting prestigieux et une reconnaissance critique constante, la production s’impose comme l’un des piliers de la plateforme. La diffusion de la saison 3, attendue dès le 28 janvier, devrait renforcer encore cet engouement.

Shrinking s’inscrit dans la durée avec une saison 4 déjà confirmée
Alors que la diffusion de sa troisième saison n’a pas encore débuté, la série Shrinking vient d’obtenir un renouvellement anticipé pour une saison 4 sur Apple TV+. Ce choix stratégique confirme la place centrale de cette comédie dramatique dans l’offre du service de streaming et souligne un succès critique et public durable depuis son lancement en 2023.
Un renouvellement anticipé révélateur de la confiance d’Apple TV+

Cette dernière débutera le 28 janvier avec la mise en ligne de son premier épisode, avant une diffusion hebdomadaire qui s’étendra jusqu’au 8 avril. Une telle anticipation témoigne d’une confiance affirmée du diffuseur dans le potentiel narratif et la stabilité de la série.
PublicitésUne stratégie de programmation assumée
Ce renouvellement précoce s’inscrit dans une logique de sécurisation des productions phares de la plateforme.

La série bénéficie ainsi d’une visibilité renforcée, tant auprès des abonnés que de l’industrie audiovisuelle.
Une distribution solide au cœur du succès de la série

Sunday Morning Reading
It’s a Sunday and that means it’s time for Sunday Morning Reading. Fall is beginning its march towards Winter, but the chill in the unusually warm Chicago temperatures this weekend aren’t weather related. Some of that is reflected in today’s selections as well as other topics, some that feed the soul, while others fuel the fires.
It’s tough to watch what’s going on in the streets of some of our cities and towns, and there’s no denying what Ian F. Blair points out That The United Police State of America Has Arrived.
Another Ian, this time Ian Dunt, discusses The Politics of Drawing a Moral Line, sketching a parallel between events in Britain and the Ezra Klein interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates. By the way, I encourage you to listen to that interview. It’s not easy, but nothing is these days.
Chicago’s Neil Steinberg comments that Next, Dyeing the River Green Will Be Cast As A Terrorist Act. I don’t think he’s far off.
On the Artificial Intelligence front, what was bound to happen happened when OpenAI released Sora, its tool for creating short movies, or better yet (worse yet?) putting yourself into one. That followed quickly on the heels of the uproar over the creation of Tilly Norwood, an AI actress created out of bits and bytes, and her creator seeking talent agent representation. Hollywood producers and bean counters are thirsting over better bottom lines ahead. Maureen Dowd has an interesting look at When A.I. Came For Hollywood.
Meanwhile one of the tech overlords, Peter Thiel, is obsessed with the antichrist and thinks tech is the only way to keep whatever that is from destroying us all. Laura Bullard takes a look at what’s behind Thiel’s obsession. Don’t be surprised at where Thiel drew some of his inspiration in The Real States, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession.
Continuing on the Artificial Intelligence beat, Bullsh*t Warning from John Warner, examines how to think about writing in the age of AI.
Mathew Ingram asks So What’s So Great About Reading Books?
And to wrap things up this week, take a look at Christopher Michael Hefner’s On Letting Go Of The Idea Of The Tortured Artist.
I included the image above from Fotgraf Petrova Olga on Shutterstock of an empty playground because I noticed this week that Chicago’s parks and playgrounds are empty of the laughter and life we usually experience due to ICE activity throughout the city before Winter begins to set in. There’s a different chill in the air this Fall.

If you’d like more click on the Sunday Morning Reading link in the category column to check out what’s been shared on Sunday’s past.

Wednesday Reads
Good Day!!
I spent the last 3 days reading books and relaxing, and mostly avoiding watching or reading news social media. My RA pain had been pretty bad lately, and it has definitely improved as a result. I’ll have to see what happens after I engage with the news for this post, but at the moment I plan to go back on a news diet when I finish. I definitely think my health is improved by avoiding news about Trump.
Here’s what’s happening this morning:
Cable news Legend Ted Turner has died.
The New York Times (gift article): Ted Turner, Creator of CNN and the 24-Hour News Cycle, Dies at 87.
The rest of the article is fascinating–dealing with Turner’s personal life, political beliefs and more. I’ve included a gift link in case you want to read more.Ted Turner, the media mogul who cut a brash and vivid figure on the American scene of the late 20th century by dominating the cable television industry, creating the 24-hour news cycle with CNN, and extending his restless reach into professional sports, environmentalism and philanthropy, died on Wednesday at his home near Tallahassee, Fla. He was 87.
Phillip Evans, a spokesman for the family, confirmed the death. Mr. Turner announced in 2018 that he had Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disorder.
Ted Turner
Mr. Turner’s signature creation was CNN — the Cable News Network — which revolutionized television news in 1980 by presenting it all hours of the day and eventually inspiring other media operations to follow suit. But his portfolio of business ventures bulged with much more, and their impact on American culture was considerable.
As a spinoff of CNN, Mr. Turner created the channel CNN Headline News and CNN International. He founded the cable and satellite sports and entertainment “superstation” that became known as TBS and spawned a sister channel, TNT, both of which continue to reach millions of homes.
In 1985, he bought for $1.5 billion the MGM studio’s library of films and nine years later created the cable franchise Turner Classic Movies, or TCM. He made a similar purchase of Hanna-Barbera cartoons and, relying on them, created the Cartoon Network in 1992. And in 1996, he merged his conglomerate, Turner Broadcasting System, with Time Warner to create one of the world’s largest media companies.
Along the way, he found the time and energy to captain the winning yacht in the America’s Cup race in 1977 and to take an active role as owner of the Atlanta Braves, giving the team extended national exposure on Turner-owned television.
“I’m trying to set the all-time record for achievement by one person in one lifetime,” he told the journalist Dale Van Atta in a Reader’s Digest article in 1998. “And that puts you in pretty big company: Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Gandhi, Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Washington, Roosevelt, Churchill.”
Not even his staunchest admirers placed Mr. Turner on that high a pedestal. But even a bitter rival like the media magnate Rupert Murdoch — who once had his New York Post run the headline “Is Turner Insane?” — had to concede that he was one of the most influential figures in the history of mass media.
An Atlanta-based entrepreneur, Mr. Turner took astounding risks in business, often teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and then roaring back to multiply his fortune.
Against the advice of colleagues and the conventional wisdom of his industry peers, he poured millions of dollars into pioneering ventures that combined cable and satellite broadcasts. He warred against the big television networks. He almost lost his shirt in Hollywood but emerged from these gambles and brawls as a billionaire astride a vast cable empire of news, sports and entertainment channels.
Of course the big story is still Trump’s war with Iran. It’s difficult to know what to believe about what’s going on, since Trump and Hegseth lie constantly.
CNN reports the Trump/Hegseth line: US and Iran closing in on memorandum aimed at ending war, source says.
The United States and Iran are moving closer to an agreement on a short memorandum to end the Iran war, a regional source familiar with the negotiations said, although Trump administration officials cautioned that talks had previously fallen apart at the last minute.
The White House received positive feedback from Pakistani mediators on Tuesday that the Iranians were progressing toward a compromise, two administration officials told CNN while offering some skepticism about Pakistan’s optimism.
From CentCom: Project Freedom at Strait of Hormuz
But a renewed diplomatic push has emerged in recent days, the regional source said. President Donald Trump appears to be simplifying issues in peace negotiations so moderates in the Iranian regime can come back to the negotiating table, the source added, with the aim being to tackle thornier issues later.
A one-page plan being floated internally contains provisions that have been at the heart of negotiations to end the conflict, a person familiar with the plan told CNN. The document would declare an end to the war while triggering a 30-day negotiation period on resolving sticking points, including on nuclear issues, unfreezing Iranian assets and future security in the Strait of Hormuz, the person said.
Precise details of the plan couldn’t immediately be verified, but the source familiar said it would include discussion of a moratorium on uranium enrichment for a period of longer than 10 years. A previous US proposal had set it at 20 years.
The plan also requires Iran to ship its stockpile of highly enriched uranium out of the country, but details were still being negotiated.
News of positive movement from the Pakistanis helped spur Trump on Tuesday to announce a pause of “Project Freedom” – an operation to guide stranded ships out of the strait – citing progress in negotiations with Iran, the administration officials said. The pause came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that Operation Epic Fury had ended and that the administration’s full focus was on Project Freedom.
The regional source told CNN that the harder the US pushed its agenda of Project Freedom and Operation Epic Fury, the more the hardliners in Iran stood up and had a bigger voice.
The Guardian reports on Iran’s reaction: Middle East crisis live: US proposal to end war a ‘wishlist, not a reality’, warns Iranian official.
‘American wishlist, not a reality’: Iranian officials cast doubt on US proposal to end war.
Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy commission, has poured cold water on the Axios report claiming the US and Iran were nearing a one-page memorandum to end the war, saying it was an “American wishlist [and] not a reality”.
Ebrahim Rezaei
In a fiery statement on X, he said: “Americans will not gain in a lost war what they failed to achieve in face-to-face negotiations. Iran has its finger on the trigger and is ready; if they do not surrender and grant the necessary concessions, or if they or their lapdogs attempt any mischief, we will respond with a harsh and regrettable response.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, also responded to the Axios report, telling the Iranian Isna news agency that the US proposal is still being reviewed by Tehran.
“Once Iran concludes its assessment, it will convey its views to the Pakistani side,” Isna reported, adding that the US demands detailed in the Axios report “included excessive and unrealistic demands that have been strongly rejected by Iranian officials in recent days”.
Isna reported that the Iranian negotiating team is solely reviewing the “termination of the war” and the nuclear issue is not currently being discussed.
That doesn’t sound like an agreement is coming soon. And Trump is issuing threats.
AP: US and Iran appear to move closer to ending their war as Trump threatens more bombing.
The United States and Iran appeared to be moving closer Wednesday to an initial agreement to end the war, as U.S. President Trump sought to pressure Tehran with threats of a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached.
Trump posted on social media that the two-month war could soon end and that oil and natural gas shipments disrupted by the conflict could restart. But he said that depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that the president did not detail.
“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” Trump wrote.
Trump made his latest comments after he suspended a short-lived U.S. effort to force open a safe passage for commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which major oil and gas supplies, fertilizer and other petroleum products passed before the war.
Iran’s effective closure of the strait has sent fuel prices skyrocketing, rattled the global economy and put enormous economic pressure on countries, including major powers such as China.
China’s foreign minister called for a comprehensive ceasefire Wednesday after meeting in Beijing with Iran’s top envoy. Wang Yi said his country was “deeply distressed” by the conflict, which began Feb. 28 when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran.
China’s close economic and political ties to Tehran give it a unique position of influence. The Trump administration is pressing China to use that relationship to urge the Islamic Republic to open the strait.
Meanwhile it appears that the Trump administration has been trying to conceal how much damage Iran has done to U.S. bases in the Middle East region.
The Washington Post (gift article): Iran has hit far more U.S. military assets than reported, satellite images show.
Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment atU.S. military sites across the Middle East since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks,fuel depots, aircraft and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Washington Post analysis of satellite imagery. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.
The threat of air attacks rendered some of the U.S. bases in the region too dangerous to staff at normal levels, and commanders moved most of the personnel from these sites out of the range of Iranian fire at the start of the war, officials have said.
Since the start of the war on Feb. 28, seven service members have died in strikes on U.S. facilities in the region — six in Kuwait and one in Saudi Arabia — and more than 400 troops have suffered injuries as of late April, the U.S. military said. While most of the wounded returned to duty within days, at least 12 suffered injuries that military officials classified as serious, according to U.S. officials who, among others, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.
Satellite imagery of the Middle East is unusually difficult to acquire at present. Two of the largest commercial providers, Vantor and Planet, have complied with requests from the U.S. government — their biggest customer — to limit, delay or indefinitely withhold the publication of imagery of the region while the war is ongoing, making it difficult or impossible to assess Iran’s counterstrikes. Those restrictions began less than two weeks into the war.
Iranian state-affiliated news agencies, however, have from the start regularly published high-resolution satellite imagery on their social media accounts that claimed to document damage to U.S. sites.
Images of damage to Camp Buehring in Kuwait, released and annotated by Iranian state-affiliated media. Washington Post illustration.
For this examination — one of the first comprehensive public accounts of the damage to U.S. facilities in the region — The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of the those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet where available. The Post excluded 19 Iranian images from the damage analysis because comparisons with the Copernicus imagery were inconclusive. No Iranian imagery was found to have been manipulated.
In a separate search of Planet imagery, Post reporters found 10 damaged or destroyed structures that were not documented in the imagery released by Iran. In all, The Post found 217 structures and 11 pieces of equipment that were damaged or destroyed at 15 U.S. military sites in the region.
Experts who reviewed The Post’s analysis said the damage at the sites suggested that the U.S. military had underestimated Iran’s targeting abilities, not adapted sufficiently to modern drone warfare and left some bases under-protected.
“The Iranian attacks were precise. There are no random craters indicating misses,” said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a retired Marine Corps colonel, who reviewed the Iranian images at The Post’s request. The Post previously revealed how Russia provided Iran with intelligence to target U.S. forces.
Read the rest and view more images using the gift link above. I wonder what it will take to repair the damage?
Here’s a bit of hopeful news from The Washington Post: Poll finds broad rejection of religion-related messages from Trump, Hegseth.
Americans are deeply uncomfortable with recent religion-related statements by President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — a striking rebuke in a closely divided country, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.
The poll finds positive ratings for Pope Leo XIV, who has criticized U.S. actions on immigration andin Iran, drawing criticism from Trump that the president repeated on Tuesday.
Eighty-seven percent of Americans have a negative view of Trump’s social media post appearing to depict himself as Jesus, according to the poll. Sixty-nine percent dislikeHegseth praying at the Pentagon for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”
Both expressions drew criticism even from Republicans and Trump voters, unusual at a time of deep political tribalism. Eighty percent of 2024 Trump voters had a negative reaction to Trump’s Jesus post, as did 79 percent of Republicans. On Hegseth’s prayer, more than 40 percent of both groups reacted negatively.
“There is only one Jesus! I found the posts to be inappropriate and offensive. Humility is at the core of being Jesus,” said Kimberly Chopin, a 57-year-old Catholic who lives in suburban Baton Rouge and voted for Trump. She added that Hegseth’s prayer calling for violence made her “extremely uncomfortable. That kind of language sounds like the language of al-Qaeda.”
Interesting.
Of course Trump is much less interested in the war he started as a distraction from the Epstein files than remaking the White House and surrounding buildings and monuments in his own image. And his number one obsession is his insane ballroom.
Now Republicans in Congress are getting into the act. We were told that the ballroom project would be paid for with private money. Suddenly, we learn that taxpayers are expected to cover the growing price tag.
The New York Times: G.O.P. Proposes $1 Billion for Security Improvements in Ballroom Project.
Senate Republicans have inserted $1 billion for White House East Wing security enhancements in the immigration enforcement funding bill they hope to rush through Congress this month, setting up a political fight over a ballroom that President Trump has said would be financed with private money.
The leaders of the Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees on Monday released plans for the roughly $70 billion package, which would significantly bolster spending on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol through the end of Mr. Trump’s term using a party-line legislative process that can skirt a filibuster.
Trump’s proposed ballroom addition to the White House
A surprise addition to the measure was the $1 billion proposed by the Judiciary Committee for security work related to Mr. Trump’s East Wing renovation. The measure does not mention the president’s proposed new ballroom, which is being challenged in court, but Mr. Trump has insisted that a main reason for the project is to enhance security.
While the president has previously insisted that the renovation would be funded through private donations, a spokesman on Tuesday said the White House applauded the proposed security funding for a “long overdue” project.
Mr. Trump and congressional Republicans have escalated their efforts to defend the project after the attempted assault late last month at a journalism gala in Washington attended by the president.
The bill says the public money would be directed to “security adjustments and upgrades, including within the perimeter fence of the White House compound to support enhancements by the Secret Service relating to the East Wing Modernization Project, including above-ground and below-ground security features.” It also bars any of the funding being spent on “non-security elements.”
WTF?!
“Republicans are on a different planet than American families,” Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic minority leader, said in a post on social media. “Republicans looked at families drowning in bills and decided what they really needed was more raids and a Trump ballroom.”
Top Democrats also noted that consideration of the bill would put all senators on the record on a White House construction project that polls have shown to be unpopular.
“Just flagging that now everyone gets an up or down vote on the ballroom,” Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, said on social media.
Should the provision survive and be enacted into law, it could clear away legal obstacles to construction of the ballroom, which a federal judge has ruled requires congressional approval.
Republicans are advancing the legislation outside of normal congressional spending channels because Senate Democrats had blocked money for ICE and the border control in a dispute over the tactics and conduct of federal immigration officers. That fight shut down parts of the Department of Homeland Security for almost 80 days.
“The Senate Judiciary Committee is taking action to help provide certainty for federal law enforcement and safer streets for American families,” Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. “We will work to ensure this critical funding gets signed into law without unnecessary delay.”
Trump is destroying our country and our Capitol. He has to be stopped. One more on this from NPR: The many ways Trump wants to change D.C., from buildings to statues to parks.
President Trump is looking to make his mark on the White House and Washington, D.C., and not just politically.
The longtime real estate developer has either announced or embarked on a number of construction and renovation projects across the nation’s capital.
“I have two jobs,” Trump said in late 2025, the presidency being just one of them. “I have a construction job, which is really like relaxation for me because I have been doing it my entire life.”
The White House ballroom, reflecting pool resurfacing, Kennedy Center renovations and a triumphal arch are among the many changes Trump wants to make in D.C.
Some of those changes are seemingly temporary, like the huge banners of Trump’s face hanging from the Justice Department, Department of Agriculture and other federal buildings. Several concern the decor and aesthetics of the White House, like the paved-over Rose Garden and gilded Oval Office. Others are matters of nomenclature, like the addition of Trump’s name to the signs on the Kennedy Center and U.S. Institute of Peace buildings.
But many of the efforts in progress could reshape D.C.’s architectural landscape for decades to come.
Neil Flanagan, an architect and public historian in D.C., says while Trump had aesthetic ambitions during his first term, his “insistence on making it so much about his own style and his own brand and wearing this glory of America’s past is distinct to this term.” Many of his initiatives are connected to the country’s upcoming 250th anniversary in July.
“They all sort of declare the glory of America rather than actually building any kind of growth or future for America,” Flanagan says. “If you’re trying to slash the science budget … at the same [as you’re] building these grand monuments, you’re not building a creative America, you’re wearing a great American past as a costume.”
The latest change was to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.
Trump is resurfacing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, coating its gray bottom with a shade he described to reporters as “American flag blue.”
The 2,030-foot-long reflecting pool has been the backdrop of marches, speeches and inaugurations for a century.
It last underwent a major renovation from 2010 to 2012, both for structural fixes (to address decades of leaking and sinking) and aesthetic improvements (it was intentionally made shallower). But the Department of Interior says the wrong-size pipes were installed, resulting in the continued need for expensive refills (71 million additional gallons, exceeding $1 million, in 2019 alone).
Trump has been talking publicly about fixing the pool since at least November 2025, but ramped up his efforts in April after what he described as complaints about the state of the landmark. He told reporters that he is working with one of his best “pool builders” from his real estate days, who talked him out of a turquoise shade “like in the Bahamas.”
Flanagan says Trump is treating the pool, and the city itself, “like it’s his personal country club.”
“You get some pool guys and then they refinish it in a way that is more suitable to, basically, a swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago,” he adds.
That’s all I have for today. I can’t take anymore. \
Have a peaceful Wednesday.

He almost lost his shirt in Hollywood but emerged from these gambles and brawls as a billionaire astride a vast cable empire of news, sports and entertainment channels.
Of course the big story is still Trump’s war with Iran. It’s difficult to know what to believe about what’s going on, since Trump and Hegseth lie constantly.
CNN reports the Trump/Hegseth line: US and Iran closing in on memorandum aimed at ending war, source says.
The United States and Iran are moving closer to an agreement on a short memorandum to end the Iran war, a regional source familiar with the negotiations said, although Trump administration officials cautioned that talks had previously fallen apart at the last minute.
The White House received positive feedback from Pakistani mediators on Tuesday that the Iranians were progressing toward a compromise, two administration officials told CNN while offering some skepticism about Pakistan’s optimism.

But a renewed diplomatic push has emerged in recent days, the regional source said. President Donald Trump appears to be simplifying issues in peace negotiations so moderates in the Iranian regime can come back to the negotiating table, the source added, with the aim being to tackle thornier issues later.
A one-page plan being floated internally contains provisions that have been at the heart of negotiations to end the conflict, a person familiar with the plan told CNN. The document would declare an end to the war while triggering a 30-day negotiation period on resolving sticking points, including on nuclear issues, unfreezing Iranian assets and future security in the Strait of Hormuz, the person said.
Precise details of the plan couldn’t immediately be verified, but the source familiar said it would include discussion of a moratorium on uranium enrichment for a period of longer than 10 years. A previous US proposal had set it at 20 years.
The plan also requires Iran to ship its stockpile of highly enriched uranium out of the country, but details were still being negotiated.
News of positive movement from the Pakistanis helped spur Trump on Tuesday to announce a pause of “Project Freedom” – an operation to guide stranded ships out of the strait – citing progress in negotiations with Iran, the administration officials said. The pause came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that Operation Epic Fury had ended and that the administration’s full focus was on Project Freedom.
The regional source told CNN that the harder the US pushed its agenda of Project Freedom and Operation Epic Fury, the more the hardliners in Iran stood up and had a bigger voice.
The Guardian reports on Iran’s reaction: Middle East crisis live: US proposal to end war a ‘wishlist, not a reality’, warns Iranian official.
‘American wishlist, not a reality’: Iranian officials cast doubt on US proposal to end war.
Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy commission, has poured cold water on the Axios report claiming the US and Iran were nearing a one-page memorandum to end the war, saying it was an “American wishlist [and] not a reality”.
Ebrahim Rezaei
In a fiery statement on X, he said: “Americans will not gain in a lost war what they failed to achieve in face-to-face negotiations. Iran has its finger on the trigger and is ready; if they do not surrender and grant the necessary concessions, or if they or their lapdogs attempt any mischief, we will respond with a harsh and regrettable response.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, also responded to the Axios report, telling the Iranian Isna news agency that the US proposal is still being reviewed by Tehran.
“Once Iran concludes its assessment, it will convey its views to the Pakistani side,” Isna reported, adding that the US demands detailed in the Axios report “included excessive and unrealistic demands that have been strongly rejected by Iranian officials in recent days”.
Isna reported that the Iranian negotiating team is solely reviewing the “termination of the war” and the nuclear issue is not currently being discussed.
That doesn’t sound like an agreement is coming soon. And Trump is issuing threats.
AP: US and Iran appear to move closer to ending their war as Trump threatens more bombing.
The United States and Iran appeared to be moving closer Wednesday to an initial agreement to end the war, as U.S. President Trump sought to pressure Tehran with threats of a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached.
Trump posted on social media that the two-month war could soon end and that oil and natural gas shipments disrupted by the conflict could restart. But he said that depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that the president did not detail.
“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” Trump wrote.
Trump made his latest comments after he suspended a short-lived U.S. effort to force open a safe passage for commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which major oil and gas supplies, fertilizer and other petroleum products passed before the war.
Iran’s effective closure of the strait has sent fuel prices skyrocketing, rattled the global economy and put enormous economic pressure on countries, including major powers such as China.
China’s foreign minister called for a comprehensive ceasefire Wednesday after meeting in Beijing with Iran’s top envoy. Wang Yi said his country was “deeply distressed” by the conflict, which began Feb. 28 when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran.
China’s close economic and political ties to Tehran give it a unique position of influence. The Trump administration is pressing China to use that relationship to urge the Islamic Republic to open the strait.
Meanwhile it appears that the Trump administration has been trying to conceal how much damage Iran has done to U.S. bases in the Middle East region.
The Washington Post (gift article): Iran has hit far more U.S. military assets than reported, satellite images show.
Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment atU.S. military sites across the Middle East since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks,fuel depots, aircraft and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Washington Post analysis of satellite imagery. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.
The threat of air attacks rendered some of the U.S. bases in the region too dangerous to staff at normal levels, and commanders moved most of the personnel from these sites out of the range of Iranian fire at the start of the war, officials have said.
Since the start of the war on Feb. 28, seven service members have died in strikes on U.S. facilities in the region — six in Kuwait and one in Saudi Arabia — and more than 400 troops have suffered injuries as of late April, the U.S. military said. While most of the wounded returned to duty within days, at least 12 suffered injuries that military officials classified as serious, according to U.S. officials who, among others, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.
Satellite imagery of the Middle East is unusually difficult to acquire at present. Two of the largest commercial providers, Vantor and Planet, have complied with requests from the U.S. government — their biggest customer — to limit, delay or indefinitely withhold the publication of imagery of the region while the war is ongoing, making it difficult or impossible to assess Iran’s counterstrikes. Those restrictions began less than two weeks into the war.
Iranian state-affiliated news agencies, however, have from the start regularly published high-resolution satellite imagery on their social media accounts that claimed to document damage to U.S. sites.

For this examination — one of the first comprehensive public accounts of the damage to U.S. facilities in the region — The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of the those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet where available. The Post excluded 19 Iranian images from the damage analysis because comparisons with the Copernicus imagery were inconclusive. No Iranian imagery was found to have been manipulated.
In a separate search of Planet imagery, Post reporters found 10 damaged or destroyed structures that were not documented in the imagery released by Iran. In all, The Post found 217 structures and 11 pieces of equipment that were damaged or destroyed at 15 U.S. military sites in the region.
Experts who reviewed The Post’s analysis said the damage at the sites suggested that the U.S. military had underestimated Iran’s targeting abilities, not adapted sufficiently to modern drone warfare and left some bases under-protected.
“The Iranian attacks were precise. There are no random craters indicating misses,” said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a retired Marine Corps colonel, who reviewed the Iranian images at The Post’s request. The Post previously revealed how Russia provided Iran with intelligence to target U.S. forces.

Here’s a bit of hopeful news from The Washington Post: Poll finds broad rejection of religion-related messages from Trump, Hegseth.
Americans are deeply uncomfortable with recent religion-related statements by President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — a striking rebuke in a closely divided country, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.
The poll finds positive ratings for Pope Leo XIV, who has criticized U.S. actions on immigration andin Iran, drawing criticism from Trump that the president repeated on Tuesday.
Eighty-seven percent of Americans have a negative view of Trump’s social media post appearing to depict himself as Jesus, according to the poll. Sixty-nine percent dislikeHegseth praying at the Pentagon for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”
Both expressions drew criticism even from Republicans and Trump voters, unusual at a time of deep political tribalism. Eighty percent of 2024 Trump voters had a negative reaction to Trump’s Jesus post, as did 79 percent of Republicans. On Hegseth’s prayer, more than 40 percent of both groups reacted negatively.
“There is only one Jesus! I found the posts to be inappropriate and offensive. Humility is at the core of being Jesus,” said Kimberly Chopin, a 57-year-old Catholic who lives in suburban Baton Rouge and voted for Trump. She added that Hegseth’s prayer calling for violence made her “extremely uncomfortable. That kind of language sounds like the language of al-Qaeda.”
Interesting.
Of course Trump is much less interested in the war he started as a distraction from the Epstein files than remaking the White House and surrounding buildings and monuments in his own image. And his number one obsession is his insane ballroom.
Now Republicans in Congress are getting into the act. We were told that the ballroom project would be paid for with private money. Suddenly, we learn that taxpayers are expected to cover the growing price tag.
The New York Times: G.O.P. Proposes $1 Billion for Security Improvements in Ballroom Project.
Senate Republicans have inserted $1 billion for White House East Wing security enhancements in the immigration enforcement funding bill they hope to rush through Congress this month, setting up a political fight over a ballroom that President Trump has said would be financed with private money.
The leaders of the Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees on Monday released plans for the roughly $70 billion package, which would significantly bolster spending on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol through the end of Mr. Trump’s term using a party-line legislative process that can skirt a filibuster.
Trump’s proposed ballroom addition to the White House
A surprise addition to the measure was the $1 billion proposed by the Judiciary Committee for security work related to Mr. Trump’s East Wing renovation. The measure does not mention the president’s proposed new ballroom, which is being challenged in court, but Mr. Trump has insisted that a main reason for the project is to enhance security.
While the president has previously insisted that the renovation would be funded through private donations, a spokesman on Tuesday said the White House applauded the proposed security funding for a “long overdue” project.
Mr. Trump and congressional Republicans have escalated their efforts to defend the project after the attempted assault late last month at a journalism gala in Washington attended by the president.
The bill says the public money would be directed to “security adjustments and upgrades, including within the perimeter fence of the White House compound to support enhancements by the Secret Service relating to the East Wing Modernization Project, including above-ground and below-ground security features.” It also bars any of the funding being spent on “non-security elements.”
WTF?!
“Republicans are on a different planet than American families,” Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic minority leader, said in a post on social media. “Republicans looked at families drowning in bills and decided what they really needed was more raids and a Trump ballroom.”
Top Democrats also noted that consideration of the bill would put all senators on the record on a White House construction project that polls have shown to be unpopular.
“Just flagging that now everyone gets an up or down vote on the ballroom,” Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, said on social media.
Should the provision survive and be enacted into law, it could clear away legal obstacles to construction of the ballroom, which a federal judge has ruled requires congressional approval.
Republicans are advancing the legislation outside of normal congressional spending channels because Senate Democrats had blocked money for ICE and the border control in a dispute over the tactics and conduct of federal immigration officers. That fight shut down parts of the Department of Homeland Security for almost 80 days.
“The Senate Judiciary Committee is taking action to help provide certainty for federal law enforcement and safer streets for American families,” Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. “We will work to ensure this critical funding gets signed into law without unnecessary delay.”
Trump is destroying our country and our Capitol. He has to be stopped. One more on this from NPR: The many ways Trump wants to change D.C., from buildings to statues to parks.
President Trump is looking to make his mark on the White House and Washington, D.C., and not just politically.
The longtime real estate developer has either announced or embarked on a number of construction and renovation projects across the nation’s capital.
“I have two jobs,” Trump said in late 2025, the presidency being just one of them. “I have a construction job, which is really like relaxation for me because I have been doing it my entire life.”
The White House ballroom, reflecting pool resurfacing, Kennedy Center renovations and a triumphal arch are among the many changes Trump wants to make in D.C.
Some of those changes are seemingly temporary, like the huge banners of Trump’s face hanging from the Justice Department, Department of Agriculture and other federal buildings. Several concern the decor and aesthetics of the White House, like the paved-over Rose Garden and gilded Oval Office. Others are matters of nomenclature, like the addition of Trump’s name to the signs on the Kennedy Center and U.S. Institute of Peace buildings.
But many of the efforts in progress could reshape D.C.’s architectural landscape for decades to come.
Neil Flanagan, an architect and public historian in D.C., says while Trump had aesthetic ambitions during his first term, his “insistence on making it so much about his own style and his own brand and wearing this glory of America’s past is distinct to this term.” Many of his initiatives are connected to the country’s upcoming 250th anniversary in July.
“They all sort of declare the glory of America rather than actually building any kind of growth or future for America,” Flanagan says. “If you’re trying to slash the science budget … at the same [as you’re] building these grand monuments, you’re not building a creative America, you’re wearing a great American past as a costume.”
The latest change was to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.
Trump is resurfacing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, coating its gray bottom with a shade he described to reporters as “American flag blue.”
The 2,030-foot-long reflecting pool has been the backdrop of marches, speeches and inaugurations for a century.
It last underwent a major renovation from 2010 to 2012, both for structural fixes (to address decades of leaking and sinking) and aesthetic improvements (it was intentionally made shallower). But the Department of Interior says the wrong-size pipes were installed, resulting in the continued need for expensive refills (71 million additional gallons, exceeding $1 million, in 2019 alone).
Trump has been talking publicly about fixing the pool since at least November 2025, but ramped up his efforts in April after what he described as complaints about the state of the landmark. He told reporters that he is working with one of his best “pool builders” from his real estate days, who talked him out of a turquoise shade “like in the Bahamas.”
Flanagan says Trump is treating the pool, and the city itself, “like it’s his personal country club.”
“You get some pool guys and then they refinish it in a way that is more suitable to, basically, a swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago,” he adds.
That’s all I have for today. I can’t take anymore. \
Have a peaceful Wednesday.
