His character on Homicide smoked like a chimney, but Braugher had quit cigarettes years ago. Terrible disease.
RIP Kamar. F Cancer. Daytime has lost so many actors this year. I grew up watching the ABC soaps: All My CHildren, One Life to Live and General Hospital. I still watch GH on and off.
Wrong soap and actor
Kamar played Antonio Vega who was a detective.Sonny is played by Maurice Benard. His youtube podcast is fantastic. A huge advocate for mental health.

Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th in Canada, USA, Germany and the UK. 
from businessinsider.com:
Amazon Prime Video is introducing commercials to its content next month.
The streaming service, which is home to originals like "Reacher" and "The Boys," announced in September that it would begin rolling out ads on Prime in 2024, and subscribers have now received an email announcing that the change would begin on January 29 for US subscribers. Those who wish to avoid ads can pay an extra $2.99 per month.
"This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers," Amazon wrote in its December 26 email to customers.
Prime Video can be accessed through Amazon Prime, which costs $14.99 per month, or on its own for $8.99 per month. The change will affect subscribers in the US, UK, Germany, and Canada first, and will launch in France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia at a later date.
The price hike comes as streaming services get more expensive across the board and introduce new revenue streams in efforts to turn a profit. Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+, Peacock, and Paramount+ With Showtime have all raised their prices this year.

I’m really late to the Shoresy table, so I came here to see what people had to say about it.
I never watched Letter Kenny, but will after Shoresy.
Absolutely love it.
Watched 3 episodes so far and told my brother about it.
I described it as Slapshot meets a profanity laced Arrested Decelopment.
At least that’s what I got based on the first 3.

I am devastated that Letterkenny is over
such a comfort show for me
Shoresy captures hockey in the most authentic way possible

Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie Norton, the wife of a guffawing, rubber-limbed sewer worker forever mired in a blowhard neighbor’s get-rich-quick schemes and other hazards of life on the classic 1950s sitcom “The Honeymooners,” died on Saturday at her home in Manhattan. She was 99.
Her son, Randy Charles, confirmed her death.
Ms. Randolph was the last survivor of a cast of four that dominated the Saturday night viewing habits of millions in the golden age of live television, and for decades afterward on rerun broadcasts and home video. Jackie Gleason (Ralph Kramden) died in 1987; Audrey Meadows (Ralph’s wife, Alice) in 1996; and Art Carney (Trixie’s husband, Ed Norton) in 2003.

Shoresy is a modern day Slapshot, but Canadian. It's so good. Letterkenny is also great but very different.
Watched episode 1 of new season of true detective - curious what @EverettMike woukd say but feels a bit patronizing to me overall

I’m not Mike but it felt more like an episode of Fargo than True Detecfive with all the super natural nods and winks. Can see that Pizalato is not involved in this season at all.
