I feel like the reason Governator is on this EP is Trump-related. Who agrees?
Arnold Schwarzenegger, né le 30 juillet 1947 à Thal, en Autriche, est un culturiste, acteur, réalisateur, producteur de cinéma et homme politique austro-américain.
Surnommé le « Chêne autrichien » (« Austrian Oak » en anglais) pendant ses années de culturisme, puis « Schwarzy » pendant sa carrière d'acteur, et plus récemment « Governator » (mot-valise mélangeant en anglais « Governor » et Terminator), il se fait tout d'abord connaître en devenant un des plus grands culturistes à partir des années 1970, avec notamment cinq titres de Mister Univers et sept titres de Monsieur Olympia. Avec douze titres de ces deux catégories différentes, il est l'un des culturistes les plus titrés de tous les temps.
It's January 30th, 🗽 Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution. In 2010, then-Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger signed this commemoration into law. It's now also being celebrated in Hawaii, Virginia, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Utah, and South Carolina. The list is growing. This special day is dedicated to a Japanese-American civil rights activist and is the first such day in the history of America to be named after an Asian American.
Mr. Fred Korematsu was born in Oakland, California, on this day in 1919 to Japanese parents who immigrated to the US 14 years earlier. As a youth, he attended public schools and worked in his family's flower nursery. When 🌸 Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, America panicked. President Franklin Roosevelt implemented Executive Order 9066, and the government forcibly relocated about 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry to hastily-built concentration camps.
Korematsu did not go willingly, though. He remained in California, claiming that Executive Order 9066 was unconstitutional. He went into hiding but was arrested, jailed, tried, and convicted. In 1944, the US 🏛️ Supreme Court ruled that Executive Order 9066 was constitutional.
The decision in Korematsu v. United States was very controversial. In 1983, his conviction for evading internment was finally overturned in US District Court for the Northern District of California. In 2011, six years after Korematsu’s death, the Department of Justice officially acknowledged that the US Supreme Court decision against Korematsu had been erroneous, but it still hasn't been explicitly overturned. Let's hope the Governator's act eventually succeeds in doing just that. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
In Drone Queen, Carrie asks Quinn why he didn’t go with her to Kabul station. He doesn’t answer. Why didn’t he go?
This is a good question that I've never really thought that much about. My initial thought is that he was in love with her and was trying to protect himself.

I just finished 6.12. I put it off for a while because I didn’t want to say goodbye to Quinn (I had read spoilers). We only really had 3 good seasons with him. I feel like the writers gave up on him for 5 and 6, which seems lazy and shameful when they were gifted with such a complex character and a talented actor portraying him. I’m having a hard time deciding if I want to even watch 7 and 8. I know you weren’t a Carrie/Quinn shipper, but is it worth finishing the last 2 seasons? Will I feel some gratification? Will I miss Quinn too much? Is there an obvious void in the last two seasons without him?
Seasons 7 and 8 are about a bagillion times better than 5 and 6. There is a not a void left in his absence. On the contrary, there's a weight lifted, and I don't mean this in a harsh or mean way. Just that the writers clearly had no investment in writing quality stories for Quinn's character, which you clearly picked up on, and his death just allowed them to write better television.
That said, if you were only watching the show for Quinn (I can't tell from this message if that is true), there's probably better ways to spend your time. If you are at all invested in how Carrie's story turns out, the ending is very good and I'd highly recommend it.
