I don’t tolerate anyone. You don’t tolerate those you love. Just love them.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.”
In the episode, Inner Light (my personal favorite), Picard lives a lifetime in moments. His poignant flute evokes the memory of that life, as it always will my memories of Patrick Stewart.

Here’s a thought. We know there are labs across the world, actively engineering pathogens FAR more lethal and transmissible than COVID. What if the scam were not to train obedience but defiance to protocols?What better way to annihilate an adversarial population?

Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate.
On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other".
Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion.
Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself.
Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo.
Rest in peace, Chuck!
So many Star Trek spin offs. Some were pretty good, early on at least: the movies, NG.
The further removed, the worse they became. But the original?
It just never gets old for me.

Listen to Karen Carpenter singing Burt Bacharach just once, and perhaps you’ll understand when you hear me grumble behind my tears, “Have I mentioned recently how much I hate hip-hop?”

I love this monologue
Sam’s monologue from The Two Towers
Frodo : I can't do this, Sam.
Sam : I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

A philosophical discourse between Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky on Christ and the power of mercy.. incredible!
Watch until the end.. Is mercy a weakness then?
Awesome concept from Kopfkino.l
