Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

I will say David Jonsson has been good in everything I've seen him in, and never played similar parts. Even in Alien: Romulus he plays 2 different parts very well. He's due for a mainstream role that ruins his versatility in all these downstream productions

OK, Link had an interesting twist on the standard Muppet prompt:
You can add one Muppet to an otherwise human live-action film. What movie and what Muppet?
