RIP Patrick Stewart. "Patrick Stewart, who overcame a bleak childhood in England’s coal-mining country to find acclaim as a Shakespearean actor before making an unlikely career pivot in middle age that would bring him his greatest fame, playing a noble starship captain on the TV series “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” died on Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 86." :starfleet: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/arts/television/patrick-stewart-dead.html https://archive.ph/y4Egm#selection-8310.0-8310.2 1/n
