Одна из лучших фантастических вселенных это Звёздные Войны. В ней одни из самых знаковых персонажей это джедаи. А среди джедаев один из самых интересных — Оби Ван Кеноби. Надо же было сольный высокобюджетный сериал про него сделать таким пресным... Все моменты, ради которых стоит смотреть 6 часовых эпизодов, можно уложить в трёхминутный ролик на Ютубе. И 90% хронометража там будет занимать пафосный синтетический голос Дарта Вейдера.
Ну да ладно, уже весь интернет прошёлся и по нелогичности сюжета, и по слабой мотивации героев, и по многократным нарушениям канона.
Куда интереснее лично мне ситуация вокруг актрисы Мозез Ингрэм, которая играла инквизиторшу. После трейлера и первых серий заявлялось, что на неё повалился поток расистских оскорблений: дескать, важный персонаж афроамериканка, и фанатам это не понравилось.
Но это меня удивляет, и есть подозрение, что дело не в расизме. Актриса совсем неубедительно играет, а её персонаж написан плохо и вшит в повествование белыми нитками. Я могу легко допустить, что люди ругались именно на это, и цвет кожи здесь был вообще не при делах. Трудно представить, чтобы фанаты Звёздных Войн написали Сэму Джексону оскорбления из-за того, что его персонаж Мейс Винду — чернокожий. Вероятнее всего, Мозез Ингрэм просто не слишком хорошая актриса. Но современная американская повестка позволяет на любые претензии кидать клич "Это потому что я черная, а вы расисты". Если чернокожий врач плохо лечит пациентов, то они расисты. Если чернокожий программист пишет кривой код, тоже наверняка пользователи расисты, раз у них программа не работает. Так и живут.

Il ministro degli Esteri Jean-Noël #Barrot annuncia che la Francia chiederà le dimissioni della Relatrice Speciale delle Nazioni Unite per i Territori Palestinesi Francesca #Albanese nel prossimo Consiglio per i diritti umani del 23 febbraio: "La Francia condanna senza riserve le dichiarazioni oltraggiose e riprovevoli della signora Francesca Albanese, che prendono di mira non il governo israeliano, le cui politiche possono essere criticate, ma Israele come popolo e come nazione, il che è assolutamente inaccettabile"

⏺La #France s’est abstenue lors d’un vote à l’#ONU qualifiant la traite des esclaves africains de crime « le plus grave » contre l’humanité.
Son ministre des Affaires étrangères, Jean-Noël #Barrot, a justifié ce choix par le refus d’établir une hiérarchie entre les crimes contre l’humanité, estimant qu’il ne faut pas opposer les souffrances historiques.
Adoptée par une large majorité, la résolution portée notamment par le président ghanéen John Mahama appelle à reconnaître les injustices liées à l’esclavage, à envisager des réparations et à renforcer la lutte contre le racisme.

Did Durov Take a Tumble In a Tug of War With Spain?
Spain has accused Pavel Durov of “spreading lies” and seeking to undermine democratic institutions after the Telegram founder used the messaging app to attack government plans to introduce a social media ban for under-16s and to hold tech companies responsible for hateful and harmful content.
Durov’s extraordinary public intervention – which came a day after Musk called Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, a “true fascist totalitarian” over the proposed measures – reveals the rapidly escalating tensions between European governments and powerful global technology chiefs.
In a blanket message sent to all Telegram users in Spain on Wednesday afternoon, the Russian technology entrepreneur accused Sánchez’s government of “pushing dangerous new regulations that threaten your internet freedoms”, adding that the measures could turn Spain “into a surveillance state under the guise of ‘protection’”.
Durov claimed the mandatory age verification contained in the proposed legislation would set a precedent for tracking “EVERY user’s identity, eroding anonymity and opening doors to mass data collection”.
He also said that holding tech executives liable for illegal, hateful or harmful content would encourage “over-censorship” and lead platforms to “delete anything remotely controversial to avoid risks, silencing political dissent, journalism, and everyday opinions”.
“Telegram founder Pavel Durov used his unrestricted control of the app to send a mass message to all users in Spain, spreading several lies and making illegitimate attacks against the government.
This is the first time this has happened in our country’s history,” they said.
“Spaniards cannot live in a world where foreign tech oligarchs can flood our phones with propaganda at will simply because the government has announced measures to protect minors and enforce the law.”
Durov was arrested in Paris in August 2024 as part of an inquiry into allegations of fraud, drug trafficking, organised crime, promotion of terrorism and cyberbullying.
He was detained on suspicion of failing to take action to curb the allegedly criminal use of his platform and was eventually charged with 12 offences.
He was later released under judicial supervision and has denied all the charges against him, describing his arrest as “legally and logically absurd” and saying investigators were “struggling to find anything that I or Telegram did wrong”.
The Spanish government statement released on Wednesday said Durov had “deliberately designed a minimal moderation architecture that has turned Telegram into a recurring space for documented criminal activities such as child sex trafficking and drug trafficking”, with cases under investigation in Spain, France and South Korea.
The French foreign minister Barrot praised the account’s strategy last month, saying: “The only right attitude, in the information war that has begun, is to raise our voice and to turn up the volume.”
Sánchez has used X to push back at the platform’s owner, who is also chief executive of SpaceX.
After Musk appeared to take issue with Spain’s recent plan to regularise 500,000 undocumented migrants and asylum seekers, the prime minister replied: “Mars can wait. Humanity can’t.”
The French civil service minister David Amiel said the aim was “to put an end to the use of non-European solutions, to guarantee the security and confidentiality of public electronic communications by relying on a powerful and sovereign tool”.
