Oh lol, this is the only social I really keep up with, so if it doesn't make its way here I wouldnt see it lmao

If the worst happens, all flags to half mast for the One True Kirk.

Resting comfortably... Wtf...

If you're a celebrity over the age of about 70, I assume every media outlet already has your obituary ready to go and just update them if you do anything notable like winning an Oscar or getting done for noncing.

When they hit 90s… you should be amazed they are alive.

don't tell them though. "how the fuck are you still alive?" is probably not what they want to hear. :D

Granny is going to be 92 this year. I do worry for her but she keeps chugging along.

Yes I feel like our culture could do a better job of "preemptive grieving", which I believe is sort of the implication of what you're getting at here.

When Shatner dies, there will be such a lovely outpouring of support and kindness and reminiscence for him. But on his birthday just the year before that, where will that be? Nowhere really, or at best in drastically reduced quantity. The vibe of the birthday before most people's death, I think quite sadly, is something of like " wow, congratulations! It's so great that you're still here!! Let's all keep rooting for you to make it another year!".

But wouldn't it be nice if we had something sort of like "preemptive funerals", and people could actually get to witness all that while they're, y'know, alive to witness it. Interesting...

What about when you hit 99?

Mel Brooks: Time to make another movie!

Damn, I had no idea he was 94, holy fluff.

Have you really lived if you’ve never listened to “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” performed by William Sharner?

Look at the hair he rocked in 2023. If that's all natural, he won the genetic lottery big time.

I don't know from everything I've seen of him or actually not seen of him because if he shows up at a Comic-Con he literally has to be hidden away and you can't even look into his direction without paying money. I don't think he's that good of a person overall. His character may be awesome and he may be fairly legendary in the acting community and the Star Trek community. But I just don't think he's that good of a person.

Patrick Stewart will just convince to leave so he can get into a fist fight with Malcolm McDowell before being crushed by a catwalk.

You monster. What've you got against 230 million people living on Veridian IV?

Now, is that planet Genesis from Star Trek 2&3, or the planet from Insurrection?

It's odd that so much sci-fi frowns on life extension.

They don't have sugar, they're la Croix with vodka

Geez that last one had me jump straight to google

Gdi i'm gonna have that autotune stuck in my head all day now
