At the risk of sounding trivializing or reductive, this reminds me of teaching middle school. You can tell middle school students to "not take the bait" and just ignore bullies, but it won't matter unless you show them that you're in control, not the bullies, and that you're able to keep them safe.
Governor Walz says he's prepared to deploy the Minnesota National Guard if protests become violent in reaction to ICE fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis.
"We will not take the bait," adds Walz, saying he's also angry but demonstrations should remain lawful.

I remember Bruce mentioning him back in like 2012 after a preseason game between Xolos and the Galaxy. He had no idea he was talking about a dual nat, was just saying "No. 21 on Tijuana was really good."

Chris Knight is a Bill Murray-level comedic performance.
Madmartigan is the template for every action anti-hero since.
Doc Holliday is... simply the best performance. Period.

I would put his top 5 performances against any of the "best" or "biggest" actors of the past 50 years and am comfortable in my certainty I'd take Val.

I never actually saw it but my long-held take – which has now become uncontroversial, but I swear I was out ahead of – is that Val Kilmer was the best actor of that generation, and should've been one of the ~3 defining actors of the past 40 years.

I like to imagine people stopping each other on the street in Miami and doing the Michael Irvin "don't let no one come into your house and take your meal" monologue to each other in the way that people in Tuscaloosa say "Roll Tide" to each other. Everyone involved has sweated through a full suit.
