Originally released alongside Wreck-It Ralph, critics and audiences fell in love with the 2012 short animated film Paperman, which won Best Animated Short Film at the 85th Academy Awards.

The new Congress should really focus on sending Trump single subject bills that clearly benefit the American people and force him to veto them.
Hell, name them after him, he’ll sign every fucking one without reading it.

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

Walter Koenig made Star Trek history w/his voice cameo in the 2023 series finale of "Picard."
He didn't appear as Pavel Chekov; but rather President Anton Chekov, leader of the United Federation of Planets; the son of his original character.
The name was a tribute to Anton Yelchin, who'd died in 2016 and had played Chekov in the JJ Abrams films.
This made Walter the last of the original cast to appear in a Star Trek series.

Hope is never lost. There are always possibilities and he will always be with us. Thank you for everything Walter Koenig.

What is the Amalgaverse?
The Amalgaverse is a fictional shared universe of fictional SF universes that will serve as the setting for a series of missions that will play out as episodic adventures in the style of the beloved ship-based sci-fi shows of the 90's.
How will these missions play out?
The missions will play out in the form of an online choose-your-own-adventure format with fan voting driving the narrative. YOU choose the missions. YOU select the away teams. YOU make the decisions that shape each adventure.
How elaborate is each mission?
Each mission has been designed like an episode of sci-fi television complete with twists, turns, shocks, and surprises. Five acts. At least five beats per act. A beginning, middle, and ending. Just like the old days!
How many missions have you designed?
Since these missions will play out like episodes from those beloved ship-based sci-fi shows of the 90's, I've structured a similar rollout. Ten missions to start followed by a brief hiatus after which the back half ten episodes will unfold. 20 missions/episodes in total. That will be our first season. And depending on fan response, a second season could be in the cards.
This seems like a lot of work. Why are you doing this?
I'm tired of crafting stories (pitches, pilots scripts, series bibles) that never see the light of day, always subject to the whims of gormless executives. Science fiction is a tough sell. Far future sci-fi, tougher still. Far future ship-based sci-fi, toughest of all. But that's my jam. And I've missed it. So this allows me to do what I do best, exercise those creative muscles, and hopefully give SF fans something to look forward to with every mission. For entertainment purposes only of course.
But, characters aside, couldn't you just turn these stories into a script you can try selling or a book you could publish? Wouldn't that be more lucrative?
Yes, absolutely, but, as I said, the prospect of selling a far future ship-based sci-fi series is so remote that I'd prefer the fun and the satisfaction of this exercise over the prospect of writing yet another script that will just end up on a digital shelf. And, yes, I could write a book - but that would require more time and effort than I am willing to commit at this time.
Okay, enough questions. When do we get started?
The adventures begin Monday, September 21st at 12:01 E.T., here on X. Set a reminder and turn on notifications so you don't miss a beat!

WTF? Same call signs for two different aircraft arriving & departing same airport. Brilliant work from the air traffic controller.
Imagine being an air traffic controller and suddenly having TWO aircraft responding to the same callsign.
That is exactly what happened in Phoenix late Thursday night.
American Airlines had two Boeing 737-800s operating as AA2482 — one arriving from Chicago (ORD), while another was preparing to depart Phoenix (PHX) for Chicago.
The inbound AA2482 finally touched down at 12:13 AM, more than 90 minutes behind schedule.
The outbound AA2482, meanwhile, was already airborne after departing PHX at 11:58 PM.
For a period, both aircraft ended up on the same ATC frequency with the same callsign: “American 2482.”
The controller says, "I've been working air traffic for 25 years, I've never seen two aircraft pretty much merge with the same callsign."
Props to that ATC! So calm and professional! His use of 'arrival' and 'departure' to designate each aircraft was incredibly quick thinking for the controller.

Patrick Stewart is sitting in the fanciest restaurant in LA when Sir Paul McCartney walks in.
They hug like old friends because they are the friendship started in 1964 when Jane Asher told Paul that Patrick loved Aston Martins. Paul knocked on his dressing-room door, found him standing there in his underwear, and just tossed him the keys to his actual Aston Martin.
Five minutes later Sir Ringo Starr walks in and sits with Paul.
When Patrick gets up to leave, Paul stands, hugs him, and whispers in his ear, “Do you know Ringo?” Then he calls him over and says, “Sir Ringo… Sir Patrick… Sir Paul.”
Patrick looks around the table and realises they’ve accidentally formed the Knights of the Round Table in the middle of dinner.

I just finished a rewatch of SG-1 "Window of Opportunity". We all laugh at the back swing, cringe at the Daniel collisions, and we smile at the kiss.
But the true gem is RDA's excellent scene at the end regarding losing his son. He brings something extra to that scene, as do the rest of the cast.
Well done @BaronDestructo on a masterclass in writing humor and drama in a single script, and for such an amazing cast and crew to bring it alive on film.

When Leonard Nimoy and @WilliamShatner got together without a script, they were hilarious!
This was a promo piece for Star Trek 4 that hasn't been seen since it was made in 1986, completely unavailable on video.
