Oh, shit, I didn't realize that. Nice.

I want more Michael Mando in all the things. That was so great.

(I'm watching "Dead Reckoning" as I read this thread.)

I watched Kings and Political Animals where he also played the troubled son of a powerful family. I genuinely like Stan, but he's got a weird resume.

Jim Beaver makes everything better, and Brent Sexton also had some good moments in Justified. Especially with Jim Beaver.

I almost posted this quote, but then went with his last scene with Charlie.

"Can you let me go to hell the way I want to?"

Yeah, the two younger ones were autistic. The Shield aired from 2002-2008. I watched it for the first time a couple of years ago so the vaccine discussion came off as especially jarring.

Dang.

Yeah, that's a weird part of The Shield. Vic didn't seem to care, but Corinne definitely brought up it a few times.

The Republican was a former speechwriter in Bush's State Department.

No, that totally happened. After Shaw left Lionel in the diner, she went to find Gen.

I loved how cheerfully soulless Kara Stanton was.

I live in a college town with a fair amount of Bernie signs still hanging in apartment windows. I was in high school in 2000, which is when I first started to become aware of politics as actually being important. Since then, I've studied history and political science.

An MSNBC floor reporter interviewed some of the Colorado delegates (one wearing a necklace of plastic marijuana leaves because Colorado) who insisted it was a contested convention, and dear lord, it was frustrating. The reporter was like, "No. No, it's not a contested convention."

Man, that's way worse than "Some, I assume, are good people."

The dead cat references have made me laugh every time I read this thread. (Because I need to get my amusement from somewhere.)

Huh. I did not know that Jon Ronson is Welsh.

Nah, there are other reasons to be prejudiced against New Jersey.

I'm Facebook friends with a Muslim woman who has a concealed carry permit and I met her because we both volunteer with a children's literacy non-profit so clearly They're Here.
