One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness
The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

An interesting profile of a liberal white woman who I wasn't aware of until she interviewed Cory Booker and grilled him on his support for Israel. The piece devotes a few paragraphs to this, and how support for Palestine is now a mainstream position among liberals, but not Democratic congresspeople.

I think I said this about Season 1 too but something I liked about Andor is made Stormtroopers actually seem intimidating again in part by not having them comically miss every shot due to Main Character Syndrome but also having other types of Imperials with faces and personalities as context.

Finally sat down and watched Season 2 of Andor after like, half a year of procrastinating on it, and I gotta say it lived up to all the hype I had heard about it back in the Summer for sure.
Also, it sure really captures how fascism keeps growing new paramilitary bodies on it the longer it goes on.

Trump can’t even do corruption right.
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
