RIP Andre Braugher

When people say history is not worth studying, it means it's an inconvenient narrative or the propaganda worked (still not worth talking to)

Man, you just made me sad because I realized we'll never see an Andre Braugher Vulcan.

If you enjoy sitcoms put to the top, on my 3-4th watch through of it, he plays one of the characters that make it so due to his great performance. The best gay character as the 'straight man' for comedy I've seen, which I assume was a joke in itself. Though probably haven't seen them all.
