Relive the David v Goliath fight that shook Wall Street in Eat The Rich: The GameStop Saga: The three-part docuseries takes a lighthearted look at all the factors that drove then-loss making GameStop’s stock to dizzying heights in the first few months of 2021. The gist of what happened in real life (and in the Netflix docuseries) is as follows: GameStop was the most-shorted company on Wall Street in 2020, as hedge fund managers predicted the heavily brick-and-mortar store selling physical media would go belly up in an increasingly digital world (which goes double for the video-game industry itself). What started out as a sound assumption quickly spiraled out of control. When some astute number-crunching Redditors realized how much money was stacked against GameStop's survival, they swooped in and sent the stock price soaring in January 2021. The information is presented in an entertaining way, and is food for thought on how the GameStop frenzy could be somewhat of a template for future trends in retail investments (watch trailer, runtime 1:51).

Step into a Hawaiian capsule at Let’s Poke: The Poke bowl restaurant serves the signature Hawaiian dishes that are equally delicious and nutritious. And the best part is that it’s made right in front of you within minutes with fresh, colorful ingredients. The menu is divided into three sections: First, choose a protein, then four add-ins, a crunchy topping, and a sauce. You can mix and match a variety of protein options, vegetables, nuts, fruits, and sauces, or you can simply choose one of the house bowls.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century weaves three important histories into one: It was unintentionally risky for Helen Thompson, a professor of political economy at the University of Cambridge, to release a book on the geopolitics of energy, global finance, and democratic politics on 24 February — the day that Russia invaded Ukraine. The book seems to have passed this difficult test fairly well thanks to its meticulous, interdisciplinary approach and Thompson’s admirable ability to not only hold expertise in the three major themes but to examine events with analytical detachment. But make no mistake, this is no breezy read. The modern history book traces the development of the current political climate over many years, and tells three overlapping stories — geopolitics, the global economy, and Western democracies — and shows how the years of political unrest prior to the pandemic coalesced into one major narrative.
