Absolutely. But not in the way most people assume. The Twilight Zone isn’t just some black-and-white artifact from the “Golden Age of TV” or a nostalgia trap for Baby Boomers who think every idea worth having happened before 1969. It still holds up because it transcends the era in which it was made.

There’s a good chance that right now, as you sit reading this, your body is digesting something that doesn’t resemble food as much as it does an industrial product. It’s neatly packaged, convenient, and delicious—perhaps overwhelmingly so. Ultra-processed foods have crept into nearly every corner of our diets. And while they might make life easier, their effects on our health are far more complex and concerning.

There’s a reason Batman: The Killing Joke has remained a fixture in Bat-lore since it dropped in 1988, and no, it’s not just because of that one scene that everyone (rightfully) won’t shut up about. This graphic novel, written by Alan Moore and drawn by Brian Bolland, is the Citizen Kane of Joker stories, if only because it wrestles with the big questions: Why does the Joker do what he does? What makes Batman keep doing what he does? And, more importantly, where’s the line between the two of them? Spoiler: It’s a lot blurrier than either guy’s comfortable with.

If you want to understand why The Invaders is one of the best episodes of The Twilight Zone, you first need to understand the nature of fear. Not fear as a concept, but as a tactile, slow-crawling sensation that moves through your body like a drop of cold water down your spine. This episode doesn’t rely on the flashy, the obvious, or the explosive. It’s the opposite. It’s minimalist horror at its finest—The Twilight Zone boiled down to its purest form.

It was a combination of factors.
One thing that’s very overplayed is the Maginot Line; the line of fortifications that France built along its border with Germany. In the popular imagination people often say that the French sat behind the Maginot Line and the Germans went around it through Belgium, but that’s just completely false. The French in fact built the Maginot Line to force the Germans to go through Belgium. The French sent their best forces and tanks to Belgium when the Germans attacked.
But what happened is that the Germans took a big gamble that paid off. Belgium can be roughly divided into two parts:

An emotional affair occurs when one partner redirects emotional intimacy, romantic feelings, and often sexual chemistry to someone outside the primary relationship. It’s a breach of trust that doesn’t necessarily involve physical intimacy but can be equally, if not more, threatening to the stability of a committed relationship.
In the United States today, being a “good politician” is a complex and shifting concept, more so than at any other time in recent memory. Politics has become less about policy and governance and more about performance and brand. A good politician, by today’s standards, must navigate a fragmented media landscape, appeal to an increasingly polarized electorate, and constantly balance principle with pragmatism. Yet, despite these challenges, there are a few enduring qualities that set effective politicians apart—qualities rooted in character, strategy, and the ability to govern in a nation that often seems ungovernable.

Imagine waking up not to the buzz of an alarm clock but to the quiet stirrings of the world around you. The smell of damp earth fills the air as the sun rises slowly over the horizon, casting long shadows over the camp where you, a hunter-gatherer, live. There are no walls or doors, no separation from the natural world. You are part of it, deeply embedded in a rhythm that has existed for tens of thousands of years. Today, like every day, survival is at the forefront of your mind—but not in the way we modern humans often imagine.
Let’s step back and think about what it would take to be a dictator today, in the age of constant surveillance, information overload, and global connectivity. It’s not as simple as rolling tanks into the capital or getting the right people to back your coup. The world has changed, and so has the art of ruling with an iron fist. We live in a time where the tools of control are far more sophisticated, but so too are the ways people resist.

Imagine sitting across from one of history’s most notorious mass murderers, watching him shuffle slowly toward you, physically diminished but still mentally sharp enough to defend his legacy.
That’s exactly what journalist Nate Thayer did when he interviewed Pol Pot, leader of the Khmer Rouge, the man behind one of the bloodiest regimes of the 20th century. What’s truly wild is Pol Pot, even after overseeing the deaths of somewhere between 1.5 to 3 million people, wasn’t seeking redemption. He wasn’t even looking to explain his actions. He was there to *defend* them.
