Watched this over the last few nights. Was solid for a made for Netflix series, and the plot was surprisingly tight when it all came together. Mostly left me wanting more Punisher, and more Westworld. Worth a watch if you like Accountant Jon Bernthal, not so much Punisher Jon Bernthal.

Watched this tonight. Excellent performances all around, and it wasn’t hard to watch, but the story didn’t leave me feeling anything other than indifferent.

when I learned about the women of the Dutch resistance who seduced and killed nazis, I learned about then as heroes because that is what they were. it's not questionable or ambiguous. and I just think that's worth remembering.

Remember Trump didn't create a culture of racist, misogynistic, violent bigots, and he didn't create a plague of Nazis. These people were already here. What he did is make them comfortable showing themselves; he emboldened, and empowered them. They will remain when he's gone. That must be addressed.

Bowie has been my favourite artist since I discovered Ziggy Stardust, and it broke my heart when he went home. On the Tuesday night, just 2 days after he passed, a friend called me "We're at Holy Holy's show at the Opera House. I know you want to be here. There's a ticket at the door for you. Come."
Time - He's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, Boy
Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, Boy
Time - In Quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine

The solution here isn’t going to be disarm ICE, it’s going to be bigger guns for local police, which means when, hopefully, this chapter of insanity in America is behind us, they’ll just have disbanded the national intimidation machine and threat to civilian safety, and made it local.
"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at.

this is a very calculated escalation of the common police strategy to shout contradictory or impossible to follow commands at someone in order to justify violence against them
WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:
* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon
The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

I still think Keaton was onto something with that "feed the tunafish mayonnaise" idea. I can't believe nobody followed up on that.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
