I didnāt realize that there was a conspiracy theory over his death. How is that not a movie?

Anyone remember Terry Tate Office Linebacker?
Cmon man, that looks photo shopped.
Kidding. Nice pic.
I didnāt even notice there was a guy in red in the back on my first glance at the photo.
just finished patrick stewartās memoir on audiobook Making It So. highlights:
s1 of star trek he yelled at the cast for goofing around, telling them theyāre not there to have fun.
he thought the wesley crusher character was a dumb gimmick that didnāt fit with the tone of the show. he thought s1 was weak and that he was particularly bad in it. he thinks s3 got a lot better, and s5-6 were the best of the series.
gene roddenberry didnāt want him for the part and actively fought against his casting as picard, but the network executives forced it on him. this is like the one time in tv history where the executives got it right. roddenberry was cold to him until like a year before he died, long after the show was wildly successful with all audiences and made him millions of dollars.
in like s2 or 3 patrick asked the writers to give picard a love story because he was jealous of riker always getting the girl. they wrote that great story where picard goes to riza and hooks up with that rogue archeologist. well he banged her after they filmed the episode and started dating her, which ruined his first marriage. his daughter was 16 at the time and never forgave him.
then he either married her or some other young woman. ended up cheating on her with another young woman, and that marriage broke up. then when he was 73 he married a 35-year-old and said ālast oneā but weāll see
he thought star trek nemesis sucked. he felt he got tricked into doing an overpriced single episode of the tv show.
he specifically asked them not to do a TNG reunion on the picard series and they forced it on him. and he wanted to end the picard series with a scene establishing that picard retired and has a family, but they nixed that idea and made him do a toast scene with the tng cast.
i purposely left out the parts of these stories that donāt make him sound like a huge asshole, because i think itās a little bit funnier to do it this way
He was not wrong.

Literally every news story out of Australia is some terrifying new animal that will kill you.
Does it make me racist that I misremembered Terry Crews as the actor for the Terry Tate role? I would normally reflect on how I made an error like that, what it says about me, how to improveā¦But, I think Iām going to give myself a pass on this one.
I thought the same thing.
I donāt think itās racist, just mixing up two actors.
Pic was some of my local DSA chapter, also Iām speaking at local library board meeting as part of DSA next month trying to fight against library lgbtq censorship here
Conde Nast absorbing Pitchfork into GQ is the dumbest move since getting rid of the HBO name/brand for āMax.ā
Why do these companies buy others to run them into the ground?
That sounds insane.
First self-designed useful 3d print. We have a built in water filter but the lever wonāt stay up on its own anymore, which is a pain when filling water bottles, etc. Weāve been propping it up with a candle. Until today!
