The last time Shatner was brought back to the franchise it was just long enough to kill (his) Kirk off. Tells you everything you need to know about him. Not even cameos AFAIK.

To my NY/PA family, stay safe and be careful digging yourself out.
Also, move to England:
I generally dislike film remakes, because they're usually far inferior to the originals. Once in a while, an exception comes along, like the 2010 remake of True Grit.
If I had to pick a film I'd like to see the attempt made, I'd choose 1980's The Final Countdown.

Tested negative for Covid but still struggling with a flu. I am unhappy 🙁
What specifically happened?
I said I'd keep this space free of politics. So all I'll say is that I am enraged, disgusted, and saddened by America, and I've never been more ashamed to be American.
Shampoo bar? You mean soap?
I've spent way too much time rageposting this week. I wish I could flush all the rage out of my system, but I am watching the world burn in real time and it's more than I can handle without explosively venting every day.
The world has turned me into the worst version of myself.
Love you, Wil.
"I'm tired, boss."
This weekend I called out a "go back to your own country" hater on the public bus. Glad I spoke up but angry I was the only person on the bus who did.
Woke up to the American election headlines I wanted to see.
I had a personal epiphany on my walk home from work. I am drawn to people who are empathic, such as one of my new coworkers who's become my work buddy. And I realized it's because I subconsciously seek what I didn't have when I was a kid. The moment was both enlightening and depressing.
Saturday, attended a counter-protest against a far right demonstration. This Saturday, a trans rights rally.
Found a cozy apartment in Oxford that I'll be moving into next week. It's an easy commute to my new job that I begin in early October. Looking forward to settling in and getting on with the rest of my life.
I love the weather here. The next 7 days the temps will be 68F to 72F. ❤️
Out and about in Oxford, looking at apartments near where I'll be working.
Received a job offer. Next comes finding a place to live long term. While happy to remain in the beautiful city of Oxford, it's an expensive place to live.
Two 2nd round onsite job interviews last week, two more next week. Hopefully something breaks soon.
I am stuffed full of good food, happy, and sleepy. That is all.
On the off chance you work in the life science industry - they have all sorts of roles from warehouse work to scientists - feel free to message me and we can connect via LinkedIn.
Today a man walking his dog saw me looking at the doggo with a big goofy smile and asked it I wanted to pet him. His pup was a loveable guy name Rusty, and it absolutely made my day.
I am cautiously optimistic that this week things are finally moving on the job front. Hiring managers are returning from vacation, and the EU and UK tariff agreements give some much needed clarity to business operations. This week is packed with interviews.
Wanting prosperity and success is an admirable personal goal.
What's wrong is when you take it at the expense of others.
"Is it odd that I've not experienced any kind of homesickness?"
I thought about that while walking about Oxford. Perhaps my heart and soul left America before my body did.
Hopefully I'll find work soon. I'm eager to get on with the rest of my life.
It's inevitable that I will encounter someone who isn't, but everyone I've met in Oxford so far has been genuinely friendly and helpful.
For anyone interested in leaving America, here are resources for you.

Oxford's hot today! Thankfully, 0% humidity, so 91F is much more tolerable. Got out before noon for a pint of cider and a light lunch.
Since leaving America I've had a lot of mixed emotions. But while I've been a little depressed, it's the normal, homesick kind, and mild.
I will be much better when I've found a job and know exactly where I'll be living.
