Is the U.S. really planning on nominating Viktor Orban to be U.N. Secretary General? Turns out it's a prank by a MAGA wannabe at the State Department—and the Trump administration is not happy about it. My latest. puck.news/s/7qzrrwfd/twa

The Orbán Fake-Out

Following a report that the Trump administration plans to nominate Viktor Orbán as U.N. secretary general, administration officials are blaming a State Department appointee eager to prove his MAGA...

In contrast, constant Russian rhetoric of nuking European cities is just harmless banter.

The Pentagon has pressed several NATO allies, including the Baltic states, to dial back their rhetoric on the Russian threat. U.S. officials argue some European statements are hurting continental security. Reuters

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Two interacting galaxies against the black of space. Together, they fill most of the right side of the image. They have a rounded center shape, with two extended arms. The arms both extend back, shaped roughly like the starship Enterprise. A third smaller galaxy spirals to its left.

Honestly devastated but for now can only say that I don’t think there are too many other actors who can pull off a scene where they rush into battle carrying a pug and make it seem not only heroic, but tragic and epic.

An incredible actor and also a wonderful human. I was fortunate to meet him at a United Nations Association event when I was on the Youth Council, but first and foremost he was always Jean-Luc Picard 😭 Time for a tea... Earl Grey, hot.

The view from Victoria Peak is great, but my favourite picture from my time in Hong Kong was from Lion Rock, which I think gives a better sense of the real expanse of the city. The sun broke through that canyon in the clouds just for a few seconds.

"Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives, but I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal." - Captain Jean-Luc Picard

There were four M41 tanks used in the film and they were all operated by the Belgian army with real training ammo (as opposed to fireworks in the barrels or mock-up tanks). A Belgian Army colonel admired Kubrick’s earlier works and lent him the tanks.
