One of the greatest tricks of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation novels was the way in which a series about predicting the future managed to remain unpredictable. In the second novel, Foundation and Empire, Asimov revealed that the one way that the predictive power of psychohistory could get knocked off course was if an outlier showed up and started reading and controlling people’s minds. The Apple TV+ version of Foundation, in Season 3, has finally caught up to this moment and revealed the Mule, as played by Pilou Asbæk.

“He’s probably one of the best-written villains if you ask me,” Asbæk tells Inverse. “He’s right up there next to Voldemort.” But, with Season 3, specifically Episode 7, Foundation is twisting the Asimovian origin of the Mule. Or is it?

Lavazza served up a rally for the senses with its US Open takeover of Casa Magazines and Casa Next Door. Guests experienced chrome coffee displays, latte foam prints featuring logos (and selfies), and branded puzzles, while neighbors grabbed free drinks and baked goods. The scene mirrored the energy of the tournament itself — bold, stylish, and buzzing with community spirit. (Even the café’s owner was spotted behind the DJ booth.) This wasn’t just a coffee break; it was Lavazza’s way of serving up match-point level vibes.
