There's a reason the Michelle Obama-George W. Bush friendship goes viral every time: People are starving for decency. For respect without agreement. For politics without cruelty. Their friendship reminds us what we've lost, and what we can still choose.
Today on the bus, I saw a woman who was clearly pregnant maybe 5-6 months along, she asked a guy for his seat because she looked really unwell and was holding her stomach. He replied “Well, you want equality, you can stand." She immediately threw up on him. And his phone. And the edge of his jacket. The pure shock and disgust on his face was honestly so satisfying 😭😭 (I gave her my seat btw)
Vulture names Genevieve O’Reilly’s performance in ANDOR one of the best TV performances of 2025
“Emmy voters should be embarrassed until the end of time for failing to nominate any of Andor’s ensemble in the major acting categories. No Diego Luna for Best Actor, no Stellan Skarsgård for Best Supporting Actor, no Elizabeth Dulau for Best Supporting Actress, and, most irritatingly of all, no Genevieve O’Reilly for Best Actress. If the first season of the series was Luna’s, with Cassian Andor undergoing a journey of radicalization that would turn him into a central figure in the Rebellion, then the second season belonged to O’Reilly’s Senator Mon Mothma as she realized all of her political wheeling and dealing wasn’t enough to put a stop to the Imperial Empire’s authoritarianism. O’Reilly starts Mothma from a place of sophistication, grace, and panicked resolve, then steadily turns her into an avatar of disgust at the Senate’s collection of corrupt pushovers and cowards. Her speech about the Empire’s Ghorman genocide is an urgent appeal for moral reckoning that is Andor at its most clear-eyed and O’Reilly at her best. Her ability to be composed and aghast in equal measure made Mothma one of the series’ most fascinating creations: a woman constantly navigating what she can do to make the promise of democracy real.”
March Madness won’t be the same without Sister Jean. Thinking about the Loyola University Chicago community and everyone who loved this remarkable woman. https://t.co/9O09E9zdMA
‘ANDOR’ creator Tony Gilroy gives his thoughts on the main cast getting snubbed at the Emmys
“These are epic long term character studies... the ultimate victory, is that these performances will be celebrated & discussed for years to come. I feel confident about that”

"...there is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us; we let it grow, & now it's here. It's here & its not visiting anymore. It wants to stay. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness. It is never more alive than when we sleep..."
Remember that part in #Andor when all those reporters on Ghorman made it sound like the Ghormans were violent and the Empire HAD to send in soldiers to stop things from getting out of hand but in reality the soldiers WANTED things to get out of hand?
Yea, that was crazy huh?
