And it makes great television

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.

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.
