RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Good morning Bluesky Folks! Here’s another nostalgic photo from June 17th, 2026. It shows a common kestrel hovering, searching for prey. This was captured on my Canon EOS R50. #Birds🪶 #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #NatureLover #UKBirding #WildlifePhotograph #CanonR50

When a camera's frame rate matches a rotor's spin, the blades look frozen, crawl, or even run backward while turning at hundreds of RPM. Same trick as wagon wheels in old movies.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

These type of mills were the origin of the phrase: "Keep your nose to the grind stone". If you fed the grain too fast, it would be too coarse, but if you fed the grain too slow, it would start to burn. The right feed level, which keeps the stones from touching smells a certain way. Focus on your job

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.
