Star Trek The Next Generation scene. This is one of those shots that happens after the opening theme music when the episode starts but the credits are still rolling over the scene. We're in Picard's ready room and see Picard at his desk sitting across from an older Starfleet guy. They're having a chat. Credit reads, "Executive Producer Rick Berman" and the dialogue closed caption reads, "Just an old man's fantasies."

the way I see it, there's basically no reason not to move christmas to the end of january. thanksgiving stays where it is, december gets new year's eve, and we get all of january (currently very boring) to look forward to christmas. also I wouldn't have to drive 1000 miles in the span of four weeks

My Life As a Homeless Man in America An extraordinary firsthand account.

"The police chased me out of the beach parking lot. Now Walmart. I’m running out of places to sleep, and to be."

"Isn’t that negation of our existence? We are here and we are you and we are yours."

A searing and essential piece of writing.

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

If anyone at your family gathering says some obnoxious shit tomorrow, don’t just ignore it or roll your eyes. They’re counting on that. Tell them β€œthat’s racist/homophobic/weird” and refuse to pass the cranberry sauce. Weaponize the rolls and unionize the younger kids. #resist
