With the passing of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, we have lost not just one of the greatest villains in all cinema, we lost one of the most skilled actors of an era.
I would have killed to see him star as a grumpy detective in a mystery series. He could have done it.
He could do anything.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

There's only a 6 month window between moving here and @c29.bsky.social moving in with us. I honestly thought I'd introduced the cheestastic Automan to Caz. Not so. This is being remedied between episodes of Airwolf (don't watch the 4th series). I think after those the logical must surely be Manimal?

So gas and electricity prices are set to rise again - because we have to pay for substantial infrastructure upgrades.
I wonder how much infrastructure could have been upgraded if private companies hadn’t spent over 30 years stealing our money for a few shareholders?

I have been a caregiver for my husband since 2008. ACA was unaffordable on his monthly disability payment but not so much that we qualified for assistance. We just declared bankruptcy for my 72k broken leg. And if I get sick,I have no choice but to die. America is a 3rd world country w/ a Gucci belt
A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.
