Not gonna lie: I still hold a grudge against Jellico for putting Deanna in a uniform.

Update

Amazon: Yeah, it's about fifteen minutes from your house, but we'll deliver it tomorrow... maybe.

[Janelle Waz @JanelleWaz]

Amazon (last night): Hey! If you order this in 8 minutes, we'll get it to you the next day.
Me: Yeah, okay. Sure.
Amazon (today): SYKE! We didn't even ship it yet!

Honestly, a Star Trek KOTOR-style game would have been pretty sweet. Instead of Light Side/Dark Side, it's your standing with Starfleet.

@bestofStarTrek Enterprise. The show finally hit its stride only to be cancelled after four seasons.

By the time the seventh seasons for TNG, DS9, and VOY rolled around, it was time for the shows to wrap up.

[Janelle Waz @JanelleWaz]

I don't have a lot of interest in new movies much anymore... but this one has my attention.

The story behind Rocky is almost as fascinating as the one Stallone put on screen.

[Janelle Waz @JanelleWaz]

GUYS! I can enter to win a spot on a show that ended almost 30 years ago!

Second prize is looking pretty sweet, though.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

In 1997, actor John C. McGinley’s son, Max, was born with Down syndrome. Shortly after, John's talent agent pulled him aside to deliver what was framed as practical advice: Do not talk about this publicly. Keep it quiet. People will stop hiring you.

For some, that might have sounded like reasonable career preservation. Protect the livelihood, avoid the spotlight, and pretend nothing had changed.

John’s response was immediate. He fired the agent.

Then, he did the exact opposite of what he had been told. He brought Max everywhere. Red carpets, talk shows, film sets, and public events. Wherever John went, Max was right beside him. At a time when society still largely preferred to keep individuals with developmental disabilities out of sight, John made a different choice. He made his son visible. Openly, proudly, and entirely without apology.

What began as a father's protective instinct grew into decades of fierce advocacy. John became one of the country's most recognizable voices for Down syndrome awareness. He spoke at global conferences, testified before Congress, and fought hard for employment law reforms that created real opportunities for people with disabilities to work, earn, and live independently.

During this journey, a reporter asked John a question that revealed far more about society's biases than it did about Max. The reporter asked if John ever wished his son were normal.

John didn't hesitate. He replied that Max was normal. The question wasn't. It was a blunt rejection of the idea that a person’s worth is measured by how well they fit into a narrow, conventional box.

Decades have passed since that conversation. Max is now 27 years old. He works, navigates his community, and lives an independent life filled with possibilities that the critics in 1997 never could have imagined for him.

Reflecting on their journey, John often says that Max never limited his life. He expanded it. Through his son, he learned what love, patience, and true commitment require.

The world signaled early on that it would have preferred Max to remain hidden in the shadows. John spent nearly three decades ensuring that the world looked Max right in the eye. Some fathers protect their children by shielding them from the world. Others protect them by refusing to let the world look away.

True inclusion begins when we stop treating differences as deficits. Max didn't need to change to fit into the world.

The world needed to change to make room for Max.
