Patrick Stewart was once filmed dancing and singing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Though never intended for public release, a copy of the clip eventually surfaced as a bonus feature on a DVD. Rest in peace 🙏

100% convinced Birmingham's literary scene, resurgent media class and academic departments could sustain a Birmingham Review.

People in the midlands.
Andy Burnham: 'I will be a leader for the North, the South, the East and the West, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 'Yes the North of England has given me so much. Everything in fact. In return I have sought to give it the strongest voice I could. Now I seek to do it everywhere. 'I see the same challenges. This is the moment to speak for all parts of the country and unite people in a common cause. I love every part of this country'

Charles Grodin (born on this day) absolutely wrecked De Niro in Midnight Run. At one point, he needles him so relentlessly that De Niro cracks, breaks for a split-second, looks right at camera, and mutters: “pain in the ass this guy is.” Grodin waits a beat… then hits him again.

Simmons’ rant against greta t, his ‘Muslims are the bad guys’ nonsense in Olympos, raging xenophobia in Flashback. He was a dick in his later years, wrote bad sex a lot, but his skills with sf wonder, big ideas, elemental horror were always present.
