Andor represents a style of writing that demands viewer engagement. You have to meet the show halfway. I pretty strongly suspect that Andor happening at all was an mf'ing miracle and that future TV is going to be much more like Reacher than Andor.

It's #Andor day! Damn I love this show. The world is collapsing but this show is one of the few things I enjoy anymore.

A white protest sign being held up by the arm and hand of someone wearing a ball cap, ahead in the crowd. In green, it has the pixelated image of a covered wagon from the old Oregon Trail computer game, and it says “You have died of Republican policy.”

The world is collapsing, but I just bought myself two hours of happiness by purchasing tickets to Pink Floyd at Pompeii in IMAX. I'll take my bread and circuses with a side of trippy nostalgia, please. #pinkfloyd

I don't know what word in the English language -- I can't find one -- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets.

The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it.

Instead of Google search try DuckDuckGo
Instead of Chrome try Firefox
Instead of Gmail try ProtonMail
Instead of Google Docs etc try LibreOffice
Instead of Google Photos try Ente

For every Google product there are multiple replacements you can try. The above suggestions are just examples to try

At this point why would anyone still be using X, META, or Amazon? There are alternatives!

My next step is to de-Google. That's gonna take some time, but I'll get there.

Or as I like to think of it - Tony Gilroy's accomplished examination of how authoritarianism compromises everything it touches, including the values of those who oppose and fight against it.

Watch Andor.

It depicts how rebellion is not a choice. It happens because you are left no choice.

But perhaps you find my politics a bit strong for your taste.

Star Wars is, and always has been, pulp fiction. Gloriously, ridiculously pulp. Except Andor, which is just great storytelling and serious as a heart attack.

Not gonna lie. I miss my fb groups. It was my main way of online socializing. But dammit, I just can't support META.

I never liked Twitter so BSKY is not really my jam. Reddit is fine for niche stuff, but I miss my people. Anyone else relate to this?

Unlike FB Messenger, Signal is a messaging app with end-to-end encryption for those who want more privacy.

Comment if you have any other favorite E2EE messaging apps. #privacy

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.
