TIL when Carrie Fisher told Harrison Ford she was going to publish her journals & reveal they had an affair (Ford was married) while filming Star Wars (1977), Ford raised his finger & said "Lawyer!" Fisher said he could read it beforehand & take anything out. She sent it to him but never heard back.

Trump and the Vaccine
An illuminating glimpse into how Trump’s tendency to surround himself with bad actors has rendered him less effective than he might otherwise be: During an interview on the “Try That in a Small Town Podcast, Rich, a vocal conservative, described a dinner he attended with Trump and several Republican senators in 2022.

"The Covid vaccines were designed to take care of a pension problem with the boomers, and then bring in 10 to 15 million younger, mostly male folks as replacement population."
"If I was going to want to take care of a debt problem and inflate the economy, I would do exactly what's happened."

Russian spy sensors used to track nuclear submarines have been found in the sea near Great Britain, The Sunday Times reports, citing former defence ministers and senior military officials.
Some of the sensors washed ashore, while others were discovered “in recent years” by British navy minesweepers.
According to the UK Defence Ministry, the devices were installed by Russia. Their likely purpose was to monitor submarine activity and attempt to hack underwater communication cables.

"Many people who write papers on quantum mechanics like to keep some sense of mysticism about it, as if there’s something strange, something almost religious about the subject. I think that’s totally false. Quantum mechanics is based on a mathematical method used to describe very ordinary physical effects. I think the physical world itself is a very ordinary one that is completely classical. But in this completely classical world, there are still too many things that we don’t know today, there are “steps” we’re basically missing on our path to deeper understanding.
What sorts of steps?
"I’m talking about steps that would exploit the fact that the whole world is very simple and straightforward. The trouble is, the world still appears complicated to us now, which is why we’re in this situation."

He adds that another country, Communist China, has now joined Russia’s war against Ukraine and says he expects a response from the United States.
It's known in Chinese social media that lots within the so-called "Patriotic Socialists" circles have been volunteering to the Russian side of the war, often encouraging people on Chinese internet to do the same

Schumer was so passionate about imposing 27.5% tariffs on China for its "unfair" trade policy that in 2005 he busted out a nifty chart and partnered with Lindsey Graham, of all people, to try and get it done. What changed Chuck? Why is this a bad thing now?

"Do you see? Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs are are calculated with the exact same formula as the Richmans’ scaled tariffs.
"In fact, if you read Trump’s executive order, it reads as if it was written by the Richmans - or at least by someone with a copy of their book on their desk as they typed the executive order. If you compare Trump’s executive order to pages 8-11 of Balanced Trade you’ll see it for yourself. Rarely in the history of presidential policy has a scholars policy formulation been so precisely followed.
"The only difference is that Trump has also included a national strategic tariff of 10% as a baseline. Trump trade policy is simply Ian Fletcher’s Free Trade Doesn’t Work combined with the Richmans’ Balanced Trade!"

Local residents described the strikes as among the most intense since the U.S. significantly escalated its air and naval campaign against the Iranian-backed Houthi forces.
As noted by observers, there is a strong possibility that USAF B-2 stealth bombers, forward-deployed to Diego Garcia, were involved in the strike package targeting these fortified sites.

General Paul Georg Edler von Rennenkampf (1854-1918✞) was a Prussian general in the Imperial Russian Army. He was educated at the Ritter- und Domschule in Reval and the Helsingfors Junker Infantry School. He led the Lithuanian 5th Lancers Regiment and the Don Cossacks. He was said to have commanded with "stern severity, boundless kindness, and the holy icon," maintaining discipline and displaying a contempt for death. His fighting style was sudden, and his exploits were legendary. Rennenkampf, with a small detachment, defeated the Chinese forces holding a strong position along the ridge of the Small Hingan. He overtook his infantry with fourteen hundred Cossacks and a battery, and a handful of Rennenkampf's Cossacks managed to hold off a large mass of Chinese troops for several days until reinforcements arrived. During the Russian Civil War of 1918, the Bolsheviks offered him a good job, but he refused to play the Judas, and accepted martyrdom on April 1, 1918. His ribs were broken, his eyes were gouged out, and he was subsequently shot along with his 17-year-old adopted daughter, Olga.

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained unprecedented footage of the solar wind. This flow of charged particles appeared as massive spiral structures, resembling a giant cyclone. Extending outwards to a distance of up to three solar radii, these formations persisted for over three hours.
These remarkable images were captured by the Metis coronagraph aboard Solar Orbiter. Metis specializes in detecting various types of radiation emitted by the solar corona, while effectively blocking direct sunlight from the star’s surface.
Visualizing the wind's structure represents a significant step forward in understanding its nature. Previously, measurements were confined to localized points reached by the particle flow. Now, scientists have observed a comprehensive, dynamic picture, witnessing how particles accelerate, escape the Sun’s gravity, and form turbulent patterns.
Solar wind continuously interacts with Earth, affecting not only phenomena like the Northern and Southern Lights (auroras), but also influencing satellite operations, communication systems, and navigation technologies. Although its intensity varies with solar activity, the exact formation mechanisms remain unclear.
These new insights from Solar Orbiter promise to enhance our comprehension of these processes. The mission is scheduled to continue until 2026, with a potential extension through 2030.
