The tale that "Young Winston" tells is not as tall as it appears: Simon Ward, in the title role, bears a closer resemblance to Churchill, with the eyes set wide apart on that eager face, than any actor before or since, and we are reminded that the more outrageous elements of the Churchillian fable did actually happen.

"Morrison's novels were about black communitiesSetting her stories in segregated communities, where incest and suicide were no more outrageous then a sign which reads "COLORED ONLY," Morrison wrote of dreamers for whom the price was often death, whether the mother's tragic choice to murder her baby girl — and save it from slavery — in "Beloved," or the black community that implodes in "Paradise.

The contestants have become more outrageous (this season briefly featured a woman who identified herself as a chicken enthusiast) and clichéd, the editing is egregious (see: the character they've created for Olivia), the dates have become overly sentimental (one of this season's outings involved an infinity pool in the mountains and talk of a "normal" life), and the show is more self-referential than it used to be (the girls know how the system works).

The more outrageous her behavior, the more YouTube's algorithms rewarded her with attention, until she was making $1,700 a month from Patreon subscribers and feeling comfortable enough to make death threats against YouTube's CEO: Last month, after YouTube deactivated comments on her videos — the platform disabled comments on all videos with children in response to an outcry over the aforementioned network of exploitation — Soph uploaded a 12-minute video in which she seemed to be daring the platform to suspend her, knowing full well that it wouldn't.
