At a charity event at the Park Ave Armory, I was stationed at the check-in. When I asked for his ticket, he stepped close to me, looked left, right, and lowered his head to mine clandestinely, whispering, “My friend inside already has my ticket”. I got “Picarded”! #PatrickStewart

A different angle of 5 Barn Owls perched on an Upper West Side water tower! 🦉💕 The top owl is flapping its wings, perhaps preparing for its first flight. Who says you have to leave the city for a little wild magic? NYC never ceases to amaze! 🏙️🪶😍 #birdcpp, #UrbanWildlife

Could this guy be playing the secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord? If not, I’d love to know what this one sounds like.

After I posted this, I got a DM about it from someone I've never had any interactions with before but is part of certain cliquey physical media circles. Now it's an extra on an upcoming release 🤷
The cast of Pedicab Driver wishes you a happy year of the snake, and by that I mean Lau Kar-leung beats up a couple of dudes with a giant brush before being subbed out by Sammo Hung to do some calligraphy while wearing matching hot pink Nike sweatshirts.

The real Shuttlecraft Galileo has finally landed at the Star Trek: Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga, and on hand to celebrate the occasion were Trek luminaries George Takei, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, David Gerrold, Mike & Denise Okuda, and Bjo Trimble, whose letter writing campaign in 1967-68 saved TOS, saw a NASA space shuttle named Enterprise, and led to the films. And every bit of this is good. #LLAP 🖖

I still consider it a personal high-water mark that I got to see this particular design at Carol Burnett’s house. RIP.
