He was a big part of the X-Men success, Professor Xavier. I read all the comics as a kid and enjoyed the movies. The world will miss the great Patrick Stewart. He died yesterday, October 28, at his home in Los Angeles, after a short illness with Alzheimer's and Lewy body dementia.
Bio from Grokipedia
Sir Patrick Stewart OBE (July 13, 1940 to October 28, 2026) was an English actor whose career ran more than seven decades. He was born to a working-class family in Mirfield, Yorkshire. His father was an Army sergeant major, and his mother was a textile weaver. He left school at 15, trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966, playing Macbeth, Shylock, Claudius and Henry IV. He won three Olivier Awards on stage.
At 47 he was cast as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987 to 1994). Picard made him a household name, and he went on to play the role in four films and in Star Trek: Picard (2020 to 2023). From 2000 he played Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films, ending with Logan in 2017. He was made an OBE in 2001 and knighted in 2010. He was also nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes and won a Grammy.
Your alignments matter more than your assignments.
My pastor puts it this way: who is with you will always be more important than what you are doing.
Work is no different. The boss, the mentors and the teammates you choose shape your career more than any title.
Look for energy producers, not energy demanders.
Pick your people on purpose.
Yet another vote for sanity.🥰

A 12-year-old girl was the sole survivor of a plane that crashed into the ocean at night.
On June 30, 2009, Yemenia Flight 626 went down in the Indian Ocean near the Comoros Islands while trying to land in bad weather.
Of the 153 people on board, only Bahia Bakari survived.
She was thrown into the water still strapped to her seat.
She clung to wreckage for roughly 13 hours in the dark, fighting waves and exhaustion, until a rescue boat found her the next morning.
She suffered a broken collarbone, burns, and deep cuts but recovered.
Investigators later cited pilot error and poor weather as factors in the crash.
Bahia remains one of the youngest sole survivors of a major commercial air disaster.
With everyone so serious about midterms, let's have some fun.
