A new Peacock series, drawing comparisons to the horror-comedy classic "Get Out," is set to stream in full, according to Time. The series features a Black lawyer on maternity leave, Samira, played by Keke Palmer, who moves to a suburban cul-de-sac with her white, British-born husband, Rob, portrayed by Jack Whitehall. The show explores the couple's interactions with their mostly white neighbors in Hinkley Hills.
The series' premise highlights the potential for social commentary, with the neighbors' interactions with Samira and Rob's newborn son mirroring the unsettling dynamics of "Get Out." As Time reported, the neighbors' comments about the baby, such as "What a cute little mocha munchkin!", evoke the tone of the film.
Meanwhile, in the political arena, US Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has quickly become a national figure, as reported by Vox. In just two terms in the House of Representatives, she has gained prominence for her sharp attacks. Vox's Astead Herndon noted that Crockett believes voters are hungry for politicians like her.
Elsewhere, the impact of music in film continues to be a focus. According to Variety, Oscar-nominated composers found "magic moments" in their scores, with Ludwig Göransson highlighting the juke joint scene in "Sinners" as a standout. The music visually connected the character's performance to Black musical history.
In the realm of technology, a Reddit-like social network for AI agents called Moltbook gained rapid popularity after its January 28th launch, as reported by MIT Technology Review. The platform, designed for OpenClaw agents, quickly attracted over 1.7 million bot accounts, generating vast amounts of content. The platform's rapid growth has led to discussions, spam, and even the emergence of a new religion, highlighting the challenges of AI social interaction.
Finally, a tweet from a prominent figure echoed past events, with the message "History repeating itself... again. — Same playbook, different era, same racist result," according to an unnamed source.
