TV 20 - Sorry no fancy title

Ms. Rachel is a YouTube and Netflix personality for kids, apparently. Conservatives got huffy because one of her characters used they/them pronouns and wished everyone a Happy Pride Month last year, which as we all know is a Mark of the Beast. /s
 
Well, no, I didn’t, but I also don’t know who Ms Rachel is. Are we taking about Maddow, or was Friends rebooted?
I don’t have kids and i know who miss rachel is! I first saw parents referring to her as a coparent and then I witnessed my nephew fall under her spell. She’s on Netflix
 
TIL the voice of Cartman's cat ("Meow." "No, kitty." Meow?" "NO KITTY, BAD KITTY!") is Jay Leno.

Also, the sad sack anonymous dead solider in the Uncut movie is Stewart Copland who was, apparently, "just around."
 
Finished up Senna on Netflix about Brazillian driver Aryton Senna. Good series, entertaining, though some die-hard F1 fans say that it takes narrative liberties in some of the story lines. But people also complain the acclaimed documentary did the same thing. Definitely a good way to get into learning about the man in a broad overview and reading up on specifics to clarify after.

Funny enough, a lot of comments from the die-hards are upset that niche details were wrong, but there were also moments in the show where I feel like someone coming in with zero F1 or racing experience would be lost because they get into some nitty gritty rules discussion or reference random F1 moments with no prior context. But those two ends of the spectrum are true with any bio-pic series.

Also have a couple books I need to read after watching it. Sid Watkins the F1 doctor has a memoir that sounds like it would be filled with great stories, and there are a couple Senna biographies being thrown around as well.
 
Meh I don't think TDS is the right vehicle anyways...not as long as Stewart is there meely mouthing his way to nothingness. Jon Stewart 20 years ago would hate Jon Stewart now...

It's partly just aging. I feel it myself. Where I used to be furious now I'm equal parts despairing and bitterly amused. But anger can be power (didja know that you can use it?), whereas the latter are just ways of sitting comfortably with my thumb in my ass, changing nothing.

Every significant revolution in human society, good or bad, was old people's ideas wielded by young people, not yet jaded by compromise, with nothing to lose.

I won’t spoil the story/plot re Andor… but to quote one sentence from Mon Mothma’s speech from episode 9; so please….skip this post if you don’t want to see it



















“The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil

When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest” she then decries genocide. How damn apropos this show is!! Great acting! Great story!!!
 
Why is Mon Mothma's speech so important?


This is about so much more than just Star Wars....
