He’ll never know this but Patrick Stewart showed countless boys how to be men. He showed that strength didn't have to mean intimidation, that intelligence should come with humility, and that you could - and should - stand up for what was right even when it cost you something.

Patrick Stewart's entire body of work, but as Picard in particular, is something that connects the person I am today with who I was as a kid. It collapses time for me. I still have the same awe and fascination with his performance and belief that it represents the best of us.

News: RCMP are about to begin a press conference on the murder of Faisal Hussein, a 12-year-old Edmonton boy whose body was found near Calling Lake in August. Not clear what the update is edmontonjournal.com/news/cri…
Says they believe he was involved in “criminality,” and that’s how Faisal knew them. Again, he was 12. Awful.
