All right, favorite Captain Holt moments.

I was just about to mention his Henry V, which I’m not seeing mentioned in his generous obituaries tonight.  God, I LOVED his work.

Just saw Keith David last night in a special premier of American Fiction and he was a great and bold on screen as ever.

Not always true, my mom lived about 15-16 months after her diagnosis, even returned to work after her chemo.

Shit, when you put it like that, it is really sad that we lost these all these very charismatic Black male actors too early, in such a short period of time. Someone please protect Keith David for me 😭

What a terrible loss at such a young age. Is there anything this actor couldn’t do? Deadpan humor of B99, pathos in Men of a Certain Age, heroic Henry V Shakespeare in the park. Pembleton! The lights are dimmed tonight in Hollywood. 

Hard to find, until it is too late, cancers like pancreatic, to name just one.

Pancreatic cancer is one. Hard to catch because symptoms don’t arise usually until it’s spread, and by that point death comes fast.  Weeks.

BONE!?

It started with Chadwick Boseman, then Michael K Williams, Lance Reddick and now Andre Braugher, these were legit my favorite actors, this is crazy.

Damn, he looked healthy for 61.  What “brief illness” could’ve killed him that fast...?

I assume Germain does not have kids, as reducing the responsibility of parenting young children to ‘babysitting’ is a bit clueless. Maybe Brian is staying with the kids while Mia is doing irresponsible F&F shit so their child won’t be an orphan if it goes wrong.

>Does it make Brian look a little less than heroic that he’s home babysitting while members of his immediate family are risking their lives? Without a doubt.

Brian sitting out the action to be the caretaker of the kids while his wife helps save the world is EXCELLENT positive masculinity rep, yes.

Yeah this. It’s also subtly a good and  “Fast & (and?) Furious” way to show men that it’s ok to be the stay at home parent

I mean, part of that choice is that we booted Mia out of the series and maybe, just maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, Jordana Brewster would like to continue to have a job. Call me crazy, but it’s a weird kind of sexism that an actress should lose her job because the actor who played her fake husband died.

The obligatory and appropriate response

OK I’m not American here but... who the heck is Nathan Fielder?! I’m pretty much in tune with the US pop culture (even too much I’d say sometimes) and this is legitimately the first time I’ve heard about or seen this guy.

The MAGA crowd might think it is a win, but every win for them has been pyrrhic, this being no exception. Johnson is eventually going to have to compromise b/c the reality is they only control 1 branch of gov’t and that’s going to put him in trouble w/ the chaos caucus. Secondly, the political calculus the Dems…

What sort of high end drug cocktail are you on to think any Dem ever collaborated with someone like Gaetz?

The Dems never voted for McCarthy during the first 15 times he tried to be speaker, why do you think they would vote for him when his own party threw him away for doing his job: negotiating?
