Rewatched Andor with my better half last night and Nemik's manifesto hit differently than it did a year ago.
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

My kids are older now, but if I had found out that their daycare had let in rando guys to take videos of them, I would have pulled my kids out of that daycare sooooo fast!
OF COURSE the daycares won’t let these guys in. They’re doing their jobs.

If everyone on Earth consumed as much as people in the U.S., the planet's annual biocapacity budget would be used up by March 14th.

We had packages stolen last year, including medication. Getting the medication replaced took weeks and many phone calls, emails, and messages. Even though porch theft is a known issue, I basically had to prove I wasn’t lying to every person I talked to. That was tough on my psyche and a pain.
