Triangle of Sadness Writer-director Ruben Östlund’s second award-winning film is a dark and satirical look at class disparity and the apocalypse. Models Carl and Yaya are navigating the world of fashion while exploring the boundaries of their relationship. The couple is invited for a luxury cruise with a rogues’ gallery of super-rich passengers, a Russian oligarch, British arms dealers and an idiosyncratic, alcoholic, Marx-quoting captain. At first, all appeared Instagrammable. But a storm is brewing, and heavy seasickness hits the passengers during the seven-course captain’s dinner. The cruise ends catastrophically. Carl and Yaya find themselves marooned on a desert island with a group of billionaires and one of the ship’s cleaners. Although the movie can be a bit on the nose at times, it’s still a wonderfully dark and hilarious…

The inevitability of death is – thankfully for most of us – a subject that we rarely give much thought to as we go about our daily lives. There are, of course, important exceptions. Those souls with a life-limiting prognosis, those that choose to end their lives prematurely, and perhaps folk in the final season of their twilight years. I am fortunately in none of these camps. Broadly speaking the former have a relatively brief period looking death squarely in the eyes, whilst I would hope the latter reflect on a longevity of life that never promised an endless existence. If you have read my earlier work on the subject of mortality and suicide you will appreciate that I have a measure of understanding of both. I have – and…

The Pez is a Lie Throughout the centuries, men have always tried to impress their girlfriends, and this was no different for Pierre Omidyar. Wanting to impress and help out his then-girlfriend in collecting Pez dispenser, Omidyar set in motion a career trajectory that would turn him into a billionaire. Yet let’s go back to the beginning. Born in Paris in 1967, Pierre Omidyar soon found himself in Baltimore, USA when his father relocated his entire family to begin his medical residency at the Johns Hopkins University Medical Center. From an early age, Omidyar had a fond interest in computers and the potential they had within them. During his high-school years, Omidyar would sneak out of physical-education classes to secretly go play on the school computers. He was busted of…

I vividly recall, as a young cop, being locked in a police cell in Bracknell police station. The prank was orchestrated by a couple of the shift elders and was part and parcel of the rituals of being accepted into the fold. Scaring new recruits shitless was a 1980s tradition that typified the slow transition from a military-style police force to a more progressive police service. On reflection, and now as a post-graduate criminologist, I’m probably being a little too kind to this phase of my former career, since there were also some right bastards who donned the tall helmet and Dr Marten boots. Whatever the psychology behind this particular event, I was nonetheless traumatized by that handful of minutes spent in horrid, dark isolation, with my ultimate freedom at…

Teal Swan is a conscious media star, mother, entrepreneur, international speaker, and best-selling author of multiple books. Having integrated her own harrowing life experience where as a child she questioned her very own life, she has since turned her past experiences with people, men, and life overall into a positive, and has used it to inspire millions of people around the world towards truth, authenticity, freedom, and joy. Diving deep into the minds of men and women is something she does each day with her teachings, and FHM dove into Teal’s mind to learn more about her viewpoints on containment and positive “ownership” as it comes to men’s views on women, how to impress them and how to date/marry each other. She tells FHM exactly what women need consciously and subconsciously…
