      There are a few moments that stick in my memory whether I like it or not and this one was up there with Jan 6. for me. Fucking billionaire assholes.

        Same. Shatner’s reaction on the day and what he wrote later have never left me, but I doubt Bezos remembers a word of it.

      Came here to say that, sharing a small space with a soulless narcissist will take the edge off most experiences

        Yeah and then there’s Bezos there too!

        Honestly, it’s pot calling kettle. Shatner is a huge dick, most of the people that worked with him have a “Shatner” story to tell. It’s karma when you have a moment and get it ruined by an asshole, just as you have ruined countless others.

        I get it, it is a unique, once in a lifetime experience. But so is for a fan to meet him. So is a teenage actor meeting their idol after taking weeks to work up the courage. And he shat’nered all of those without any remorse.

    Na, fuck Shatner for soooooo many reasons, but also fuck listening to the hyper privileged and wealthy musing about how precious life and our planet are when them and their greed and their egos are the ones destroying them for everyone else in the first place.

    It’s so hypocritical - he went up with JEFF BEZOS… Someone who has enough money to lobby for all sorts of environmental protections and standards.

    So Shathead, why don’t you literally turn to the guy next to you and try to get the ball rolling there??? He is one of the richest people on the planet - maybe if you genuinely believed what you wrote… you’d like, ask him for help???

      Maybe sitting next to one of the largest contributors to global warming is part of what colored the above statement? Good luck getting a capitalist to start lobbying against their own self interests.

        What’s so maddening is it is absolutely in his best interest to save the planet.

        He’s just so monkey-brained yachts, space pleasure cruises, and the feeling of power, bending economies to make number go higher than the other capitalist top-scores, are what he chooses.

        No, they’re your OPPRESSOR so I don’t think you know what that word means. Go lick some Shatner if you think he [Shatner] is your SAVIOR.
