You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.

I encourage you to read this. Listen to these Americans. Read what this nation has done to its civil servants. So much suffering because voters were moved by bumper sticker arguments to destroy their brethren to line the pockets of the oligarchs. Devastating. Unforgivable. Evil.

You gotta hang on to the little things, despite all the carnage. For my family, it's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We're doing a full rewatch. Current mid-Season 2. For my daughter, this is her first full circuit. Despite the overwhelming ick that Whedon turned out to be, the show still stands tall.

They're going to kill so much that is good, precious, and unique within these United States of America -- in the name of money and power. And voters chose this. Never forget that. Posterity is watching and judging. Photo: Big Cypress National Preserve; Collier county, Florida (13 March 2023).

This scene/monologue is absolutely fantastic, as is the entire season, even if you're not into Star Wars. Andor is the strongest representation of oppression and resistance you'll find in any Star Wars release. This scene raptures, and it hits hard in this moment. youtu.be/TaKrm5txGCQ?...
