Season two of Shonda Rhimes’ Bridgerton is out on Netflix—and eager viewers will waste no time immersing themselves in its remarkable candy-colored London ballrooms and countryside estates. Bridgerton’s setting is a version of Regency England with a multiracial, bright, and sexy modern overlay, a place where the marriage market is a game to be played with cunning—until, of course, love (and lust) show up to mess with everyone’s plans. The hit Shondaland show based on Julia Quinn’s romance series isn’t the only Regency-era confection to grace our screens this year.
George H.W. Bush, who died on Nov. 30, 2018 at the age of 94, lived a long and remarkable life, serving as the nation’s 41st president and raising its 43rd. He also spent 73 of his 94 years married to his wife, Barbara, before her death in April.

The Iraqi parliament has passed a law to change the country’s flag, by altering the way “Allahu Akbar” (God Is Great) is emblazoned across the middle of the banner. The words will remain, but in a different calligraphic form. That may not seem like a big change, but for many Iraqis it makes a world of difference. The old calligraphy was based on Saddam Hussein’s own handwriting, and for many who suffered most under his iron fist — especially the Kurds — the flag came to symbolize his repressive rule.

Once a Nigerian man finds a barber who cuts his hair properly, he often sticks to this person for life. Whenever he cuts his hair somewhere else and comes back to his usual barber, the sense of guilt is akin to cheating and infidelity.
