Absolutely incredible bike tour of Sydney from Sara Stace. If you don’t know her she is a force for change. While I sit around complaining she is out there changing things from the inside that leads to real change on the ground.

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.

Lula: "I have to govern for 215 million people". This is exactly it. When great leaders win elections, they make one thing very clear. They are there to represent everyone, even if they voted against them. They are there to lead the country, help the people, and not play deceptive politics.
