A real man, just saying.

A real hero. RIP.

Mr. Rogers is an automatic upvote. If only there was an episode where he had met Bob Ross, my childhood CRT TV might have exploded out of sheer awesome.

That photo is from some years later. Here's an article with photo from original episode. https://www.poolmagazine.com/pool-news/how-a-mr-rogers-episode-featuring-a-pool-helped-fight-segregation/

I think Mr Rogers, in times past would have been considered a prophet. His favorite number was 143 which was also his constant weight. The number of letters in I LOVE YOU.

Are there an wholesome shows like that any more?

YES JUST YES

Mr. Rogers forever!

Mr. Rogers 💖

Yes but Mr. Rogers also asked him to hide the fact that he's gay. An incredible gesture, but it's not the full story.

Sadly, in certain ideological circles, Mr. Rogers would be considered "too woke" for young children today and canceled immediately. I imagine he'd probably receive a few death threats towards him and his family as well.

Mr. Rodgers was the shiz!!! I would give this way more upvotes if I could

The man in the cop uniform was in the closet and Mr Roger's knew he was gay and was very supportive of him.

Beautiful humans, both of them. Imagine the ish each had to put up with from their families for that. I used to know Mr. Roger's niece who hated him and said nasty things about him about how in real life, he supposedly hated children, and the things she said about him never matched up with his energy. Furthermore, she was a very dark, nasty person in all other aspects of her life that I was able to see. Just pure jealousy at someone else's light. I can only imagine that maybe the other man had to endure nonsense in his personal life for this, too. Both men were so brave and probably had to endure much more personal grief for trying to make a difference than any of us will ever know. That makes this simple scene all the more meaningful. It wasn't just a society thing; these men had to go home and face their families afterward, too.

I remember seeing this later in the 1970s. Crazy amazing Mr. Rogers!

The man was a legend, a huge loss to the world.

Who the f**k ridicules some random person with a gift on the train? Food and flowers sound like a normal Valentine's day gift or something like that, who expects more is greedy

So inspiring in a world that seems to now be going backwards!

Good man for caring for others, totally sucks that he had to do it though, some sick people out there.

awesome

Another real hero. RIP.

Totally something Henry Cavill would do, even if the story is fake.

Such a talented and kind man. Taken too early, rest in peace.

What a hero. RIP.

Yay

Now that is a true derp smile ♡♡♡

Another real hero. RIP.

love the hat

This will no doubt be unpopular but research has shown that 3-month-old babies prefer faces from certain racial groups, usually those that look like them, 9-month-olds use race to categorize face. https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2020/08/children-notice-race

Good.

Oh, I thought the reporter wanted to see the old man "reach loo", but then I realized it was supposed to be "reach 100".

Better than sitting in the middle of the road with a tube of super glue and a sign

Thank you for posting

"Hah! Two birthdays!!"

Good dad.

the struggle is real! i'm no one without my glasses, but i hope one day i put them on and find i won a golden medal too

yaaay, a brazilian!!!

Awww!! Look at those smiles

Reminds me of the story of that mommy cat who did the same, burning herself to get all of her kittens out of a burning building. No matter if human or not, everyone's a superhero when it comes to saving their beloved ones

The world didn't deserve Robin Williams. But I'm glad we had him for as long as we did.

Wow, that story is quackers!

true humanity would be that this vaccine exists for good, and that it is free, or at least cheap

Is he the guy in the scrubs or the suit?

No surprise after meeting other humans

Bereaved mother elephants have been seen doing the same thing. :(

A good thing to do, but all of it went to slave owners, the people who were enslaved received nothing.

Can't think of any other country this would happen in.
