Damn, this would’ve been such a good backstory to why Star Wars stormtroopers all wear fully masked helmets. Shame and fear.

Disney asked "Andor" creator Tony Gilroy not to use the word "fascism" when he was promoting its second season. Now, he's saying it — and talking about how the show's storylines connect to current U.S. politics. "So you get out your 'Fascism for Dummies' book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible," he told @THR. "How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don’t think it’s prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper."

So, how much do you want your lives and your public services depending on generative models owned and controlled by these same corporations enabling the creeping fascism around the world?

This is the best edit I’ve seen so far of Nemik’s manifesto (and related dialogue and scenes) from ANDOR. Worth revisiting if you’ve seen the show. If you haven’t, some scenes may be spoilers but it’s hard to tell out of context. Either way it’s worth a watch; ANDOR continues to speak to our times — and to the need not for glorious “chosen one” saviors but for collective perseverance and courage.

Well, I think #Pluribus Season 1 would have been my Show of the Year for 2025…
…if Star Wars: #Andor Season 2 hadn’t happened. That is of course my Show of the Year and it’s not even a fair fight.
But wow, “Plur1bus” is one hell of an entry. I hope it wins very many awards and that I can survive on God’s green earth until Season 2 arrives. 😄
I may or may not have binged the first 6 episodes of #Andor last light.
