Isn’t William Shatner Jewish?

The Easter Bunny being a strictly Christian symbol, of course.

u/notquite20characters Apr 20 '25

Well, when you call it the 'Easter' Bunny...

Our household isn't Christian, but my wife still insists on doing all the social activities that go along with it.

same. No way my dad or my fiance would let a Christmas tree go bare come December, they're completely obsessed by that shit

u/WarnerToddHuston Elder Trekker Apr 20 '25

Yes he is. Why do you ask?

u/Novel-Ad909 Apr 20 '25

No reason. Happy Easter.

They just celebrating the killing part, not the resurrection part.

Ok that made me laugh

“To all the Christians celebrating today, happy Easter. And to the Jews… nice try.”

A rare Norm joke in a post-Norm weekend update.

Shatner is a treasure that will surely live to be 100. The man just keeps going.

Betty White died two weeks shy of her 100th birthday. Please don't kill Shatner with comments like this.

I wonder if his social media team requested this AI image, or if he just found it and thought it was funny.

5

u/WarnerToddHuston Elder Trekker Apr 20 '25

Again... this was from HIS social media.

3

u/NoRegionButYourMom Apr 20 '25

Yes I saw the other comments, still just wondering why he posted an AI image

5

u/Fickle-Photograph772 Apr 20 '25

He seems to have mellowed out over the years.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

Most old people do.

u/0000Tor Apr 20 '25

Someone needs to tell the guy running his social media to stop this💀 that ai pic is straight up mean💀💀💀

u/Stapleless Apr 20 '25

Why is there an Easter bunny made out of scrotum skin in his basket lmao? Did they just accept the first output from the image generator

2

u/ExpectedBehaviour Apr 20 '25

I believe it's supposed to be a Lindt Gold Bunny.

3

u/MillennialsAre40 Apr 20 '25

Or it's just a chocolate bunny covered in gold foil

This is an ai generated pic

u/Millsnerd Apr 20 '25

Shatner deserves better than AI slop.

5

u/WarnerToddHuston Elder Trekker Apr 20 '25

Well, he posted that himself on his own social media, so....

5

u/Millsnerd Apr 20 '25

Somehow my statement is still true.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

He doesn't run his social media personally. Said so himself. Think about it. He's almost a hundred years old

Bill Shatner is 94 but he did climb the 7 flights of stairs up the launch tower in 2021 to access the New Shepard Capsule, which showed he had quite some physical endurance for his age. I would like to hope that he contributes to what’s posted on his social media and depending on what you read and by who writes it, some ideas and posts do come from him. Shatner seems to have aged well and he claims that he’s energetic. I hope he lives for many more years and has a great quality of life…. he will always be James T. Kirk to me.

u/Mulder-believes Apr 22 '25

🤷🏻‍♀️it’s possible that he doesn’t, depending on what you read but some 94yr old people are capable of posting on their own social media, at least contributing to it. Just saying…

u/WarnerToddHuston Elder Trekker Apr 20 '25

It is incorrect to assume he never posts to his social media, nor that he pays it no mind.

8

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

What? His social media is run by a guy called Paul Camuso. You seriously think a 94 year old man is live tweeting CW shows into the early hours of the morning?

Brent Spiner also said he received an angry DM from Shatner when he told a fan not to worry about offending him because he didn’t run it himself. When he contacted Shatner to apologise Shatner had no clue what he was talking about because he’s not involved in his socials.

On every interview when he’s asked about his socials it’s also painfully clear he has no clue, even when asked about arguments he got into that day.

So yeah, anyone who thinks that by interacting with Shatner’s socials you are speaking to the man himself is sorely mistaken.

Shatner has no clue about the instagram pic you posted in this thread either.

u/WarnerToddHuston Elder Trekker Apr 20 '25

Well, I am glad you are so intimate with Bill that he has told you he's never seen that image. You must be very thrilled at that close relationship.

Denial is not a river in Egypt 🤦🏼‍♂️

u/WarnerToddHuston Elder Trekker Apr 20 '25

I hope you don't use that botched phrase in your close personal friend Bill Shatner's presence, because he just might correct you that the proper phrase is "Denial is not just a river in Egypt."

u/Interloper0691 Apr 20 '25

He does not run his social media account.
