For #WorldLionDay 🦁:

Lion build by LEGO artist Sean Kenney, photographed at a 2019 exhibition at Liberty Science Center.

“It was important to Sean to get the expression of the lion just right. In order to do so, he studied lots of photos and videos of real lions. Color was tricky with the lion's eyes. Sean settled on a hard-to-find golden colored radar dish as the iris of the eye, which perfectly mirrors the cool, golden gaze of the real thing.”

Back in April when I was in Colorado I had the pleasure of talking with Sean Kenney, a host of the indie queer radio station Outsources about creativity, fear, book challenges, Gender Queer, Breathe, and protecting your privacy as a memoir author. I really enjoyed this conversation! It's 30 minutes and you can listen to it here.

Star Trek History...

From the first rejected Star Trek pilot "The Cage", 1964-65.

Majel Barrett as Number One (no actual name ever given).

Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike.

Laurel Goodwin as Yeoman Colt.

None of these characters would be used in the second pilot. Yeoman Colt was dropped altogether with no explanation ever given. The Number One character was combined with the nascent Mister Spock to create the Spock we are familiar with.

The reasons for Hunter not returning for the second pilot are murky. Some accounts say that he preferred to concentrate on a film career rather than television. Others say that Roddenberry, unhappy with interference by Hunter's then-wife and manager Dusty Bartlett—had decided to re-cast the character. Whatever the reason, the Pike character did return in the re-cut first season episode "The Menagerie" that aired in 1966. Since Hunter was unavailable to reprise his role as Captain Pike, look-alike actor Sean Kenney played the injured captain in the new scenes.

Majel Barrett didn't appear in the second pilot but Roddenberry managed to keep her around for the series with the creation of the Nurse Chapel character.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Surveillance video shows a man the Philadelphia Police Department claims stole an antique railing from outside of City Hall. The brazen theft happened early in the morning last Thursday.

To hear it explained, you almost stop in your tracks: someone did what?

"Who comes up with that idea?" Cailyn Schmidt of Manayunk said. "What do you think they're going to do with it?"

That's probably your next thought as well.

According to the Philadelphia Police Department, the antique brass railing, which was cut and stolen, is worth between $15,000 and $20,000.

Mayor Jim Kenney says he's not surprised because he's seen thefts like this in the city before.

"I just heard that, I don't know. I think it's under investigation now," Kenney said. "People junk and scavenge. A guy took a whole railing off of the Union League one time, that whole right side of the railing he took off and walked right down the street with it."

In surveillance video released by Philadelphia police, the suspect wheels away the antique brass in a red shopping cart early Friday morning.

"This is a travesty," Sean Haynie of Center City said. "I love this railing. I walk by it every day. It's beautiful. It's an antique. It really sucks that somebody would come and take it in a shopping cart, nonetheless. Hate to see it."

It also makes you wonder what would lead someone to commit such an act.

"People are desperate," Schmidt said, "and it sucks what they have to come up with and they feel they need to do to survive. I think it's pretty sad, to be honest."
