Rumors about The White Lotus Season 4 – Mike White said he wants to move away from the “crashing waves against rocks” locales. Hm. People think that means a ski resort, but I think a desert resort would be cool too. [JustJared]

Re White Lotus season 4 location, I read elsewhere that it’s rumored to be a Nordic country. Wish I could remember where I read that. I think that would be amazing and noir-ish.
White Lotus combined with Nordic Noir? Love it! Reminds me of when True Detective went arctic and genius ensued.
White Lotus and True Detective mashup? I AM HERE FOR IT lol
I was just thinking last night that next series he’d go for could be Mexico, maybe Peru (for some Inca or Aztec flavour) or the Caribbean (Cayman Islands)? but Scandi travel is very trendy right now so I get it…assuming the actors would be game to freeze their butts off
They said Mike White hates the cold but I could totally see something Nordic in the summer when the days are really long. When Succession went to the Norwegian Juvet Landscape hotel it was stunning.
I think it will be either in Marrakesh or Nairobi (both Four Seasons are perfect locations)
Yes! Nairobi is what came to mind for me too! Safari accidents! Maasai! Awesome!
Yes, I think “Safari” as well. Lots of opportunities to skewer people doing colonialist cosplay. Plus, and take it for what it’s worth, I heard an interview with one of the producers and he said that they won’t do a “cold” location. Which was too bad, because I really hoped they would go to a Canadian ski/wilderness resort up north, lol. Maybe that was an elaborate fake out!
I was just thinking privileged White people on safari the script writes itself! Omg Nairobi please!
Right? I’m loving this idea…do a White Mischief for today’s times? Yes please!
Yes Lady Esther! I am already getting Melania on safari vibes. I just remember the look on her guide’s face lol
I think a safari setting would work very well with the show’s whole premise. We were lucky enough to do one a couple of years ago, in South Africa where my husband was born. I could definitely see a new White Lotus season unfolding in a place like that.
The Supreme Court just halted Judge Boasberg’s order to reinstate Fed probationary workers.
The next protest should be specifically targeted at the SC. It was smart to have the first mass protest #HandsOff as a kind of catch-all for all the insane shit Trump/Musk has done so far but it’s time to for a more targeted approach. The SC thinks they’re immune from public scrutiny and pressure–time to send a message.
Reading about SC decisions this morning, I had a terrible panic-flash: Sonia Sotomayor’s health hasn’t been great for years now. Dear god – what if she has to step down?
We’re screwed.
She should have stepped down last year. Sigh. We’re setting it up for an other RBG situation 🙁
@Kitten If she had stepped down last year then those ratfuckers in Congress would have done the same thing they did about Obama’s nomination and refuse to do anything until Trump was in office.
Actually It’s Tasmania Australia and NZ. I saw an Instagram post from Hobart Tourism with a filming request application.
I want my Metallica t-shirt for giving blood! Sure the feeling of having done the right thing largely compensates me for the crippling anxiety I have around it but I wouldn’t say no to a limited edition t-shirt.
What a fantastic thing to do. I hadn’t been in 20+ years after awful experiences and only went back last year after the London hospital cyber attack when they needed O- even more desperately than usual and it wasn’t too dreadful so now I’m continuing to donate. Hopefully on top of the one-off boost this will give blood stocks in those cities it will prompt more people to start going regularly.
