Also, there were significantly fewer Japanese Americans to receive a check.  It wasn’t a check for every single existing Japanese American, as by 1988, many formerly interned people were dead.  And even during WWII, not every Japanese American was interned, as I believe it only affected those on the east coast, and I…

As a Japanese American — one who has a healthy supply of issues with the Japanese American population — I’m curious; when was the last time you heard of any Japanese American in the media?

I remember hearing this show was in development like 4-5 years ago and reading a few updates a year on it since. Kind of crazy to see something take so long to finally get made and then get cancelled so unceremoniously.

Japanese Americans were paid $20,000, and were probably underpaid at that for the theft of their whole livelihoods. Imagine how much you’d have to pay Black American families to make up for hundreds of years of stolen livelihoods. There are assholes in Massachusetts right now worth millions of dollars whose 17th…

While this long fight for reparations for slavery goes forward, the reparations for the taxes blacks paid during legal segregation which thus financed it, should not be ignored. Many blacks still alive today, paid federal and local taxes that were then used to build schools, hospitals, libraries, parks, and other…

It was good enough that I would have watched more. It’s always a little bit of a bummer when you stick with a series, see the cast and writers finally starting to gel with the material toward the end, and then it gets cancelled.

This is not a new idea. Pepperidge Farms did this before a few years ago with their giant goldfish cracker line. There’s even a 2 year old petition on change.org to bring these back.
 

Its now my headcanon that this is the band that broke up Steve Smith's band B12 on American Dad by having one more member. 

I mean it’s been like that for a LONG time 

When did the AVC get so full of this boomer-ass “I don’t even know who [popular artist] is” bullshit? It says right there in the article, they’re a chart-topping group that have been around for a decade. Ignorance isn’t a fucking badge of honor.

They’re the best boy band since One Direction 

Never heard of these people but the photo and the amount of weird letter cases throughout the article matched my expectations.

I also love the unmentioned detail that Brian Cox is famously socialist/anticapitalist.

The fact that it looks like a Simpson’s butthole has to factor into the decision too.

Yeah, he would have been great as King Robert, because he is always great, but they were supposed to be contemporaries and he doesn’t look like Sean Bean’s contemporary.

Nice candor from Brian Cox there.

Agreed. There’s only a 13 year difference between them (I googled; Sean Bean looks great for 62!), but that’s a big gap, especially since Brian Cox has always looked old.

I am not sure I would have bought that Brian Cox and Sean Bean grew up together.  

Brian Cox need never apologize for turning down a role.

Imagine having a fancy party and serving hors d’oeuvres made with giant goldfish. That’d be hilarious. It’s like, “What? You too good for goldfish?” lol!
