Russell brand, back when he was just a homeopathic, somewhat progressive pseudo-intellectual moron. I remember specifically avoiding Get Him to the Greek bc I thought he was a creep, didn’t think he’d actually be charged with SA though. His pivot to manosphere right wing bullshit doesn’t get enough attention, bc of worse people like Rogan.

I don’t hate Kathleen Kennedy or anything, she’s just doing her job. In fact she’s not even really a cause so much as a symptom, but fact is she was hired because her vision matches what the marketing people want: dumbed down, mass-appeal media that speaks to no one and offends no one. She has made it work before in her career, and (likely, in my opinion) loves the formula for its efficacy, not its artistic value. It’s about the money, and enshittification. I’m as confused as everyone else how Andor managed to slip through the gatekeeping, but very glad for it. Maybe they’ll learn that there’s a market for more than just “childlike wonderment.”

I couldn’t remember his name at first and had to look it up, but it’s Tofen Vane from the Dark Horse Clone Wars comic series.
