Semi-professional point-misser. Irish. Mental patient. Habitually unserious. Conscientious objector in the culture war. King of wistful drinking.
For some reason some people don't like Ghostbusters 2 but this scene has what I'm sure only ze Germans must have a word for when something is both hilarious and frightening because this is literally the scariest thing I can imagine in a dark tunnel.
You were Captain of the Enterprise. Fuck that, you were THE Captain of the Enterprise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6_F...

Goodbye, Jean-Luc. I'm going to miss you. You showed us our potential. But then again,
Something I always thought was very interesting. Spock admires Picard's stoicism and how "Vulcan" he is for a human. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YahV...

Part of Picard's greatness and something I personally learned from him is to understand people's values and use them. Face a Vulcan with logic. Face a Klingon with strength. Face a Romulan with ruthlessness. Face a Cardassian with cunning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=64J0...

I promise to be on my best behaviour in London. *me freaking out in a moonage daydream (oh yeah) three drinks later*
Occurs to me this is actually the first Halloween I've spent at home in years 0_o
If you watch Schindler's List as a zoomer it's a horror movie about a bunch of evil colonisers tricking a poor factory owner into helping them escape justice at the hands of heroic antizionists.
I'm about to go on holiday to London which means leaving Ireland which means sounding like this to everyone again.
If you're in a wheelchair and you're not dressing up as Lindsey Clancy for Halloween, you are a disgrace to the disabled community and making us all look bad.
Telling Wil Wheaton to shut up was a gift Sir Patrick Stewart gave to the whole world. 🥲
"Hey, you okay?" "No.... No, my dog got run over this morning." "Aw, man... did he support Palestine?" "What?" "Did your dog support Palestine? See, I'm an empathetic, good, kind person so I need to know if your dog agreed with me before I decide to offer my condolences or gloat about your loss."
Not even 24 hours and of course they've started searching through the deceased's lifetime of personal politics to decide whether or not the ones grieving are correct or need to be told different. Because that's something that Good People do, apparently.
This was a little more close to home and damn, was that a very cathartic punch to watch growing up.
The wonderful Patrick Stewart has passed away. An actor full of gravitas, nuance & humour. How lucky we are he found his calling in life and gave us so many decades of characters and moments to treasure. The brightest stars dim in time, but that temporary darkness invites new lights to be seen.
George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social · 3d agoFans across the world mourn the passing of a true and irreplaceable legend. As Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart took the starship Enterprise to places it had never gone before.
Some of the best acting I ever saw was in the episode "Sarek" where Patrick Stewart gives a very haunting yet touching performance of a lucid mind reflecting on the unfairness and pain of dementia.
Americans: We live in the most oppressive dictatorship in the world because if I want to read violent pornography I have to leave the school and go all the way to Barnes & Noble to get it! British: 'Is Majesty won't let me 'ave a crafty wank if it's to some bird chokin' 'erself.
Zoomer remake of The Breakfast Club but those subgroups no longer exist so it's the dumbass activist theatre kid, the dumbass activist theatre kid, the dumbass activist theatre kid, the dumbass activist theatre kid, and the dumbass activist theatre kid. Who all sit around and look at their phones.
Garrus calibrating the living shit out of a gigantic space cannon for two games and then never getting to fire it was one of the worst (and literal!) violations of Chekhov's Gun in all of fiction.
"Tell me the truth, I'm ready to hear it." "Ryder's fully upgraded Pathfinder armour was way fucking cooler than anything Shepard wore." "🥲"
If they made 24 now it would be called 8. And start with Jack Bauer saying "This is the longest afternoon to evening shift of my life."
"What was the Great Video Game Crash of '26 like, Uncle Darren?"
You will notice that nowhere among the mourners gathered at Bioware's funeral is anybody grieving Anthem.
Wait, you're telling me in the new Call of Duty game you get to kill communist scum?
