Bjork has a lovely voice. Reminds me of the video where she explains how her TV works and summarises that you should never let an Icelandic poet lie to you…

I’m in another country, in another hemisphere and I knew to expect the insurrection. It was being talked about on social media days before.

2016,.. "I really would consider autonomous driving to be basically a solved problem," Musk said. "I think we're basically less than two years away from complete autonomy."

Elon ‘vaporware’ Musk will be first to ride the Hyperloop, Robotaxi, Cybertruck, Tesla Truck or fully self driving Tesla. As soon as they’re ready, any day now, really, honestly. He announced in 2017 that he would be sending two rockets with human colonists by 2022 and four ships carrying 200 people by 2024. Hmmm, I’m starting to doubt his honesty.

Follow men’s eyes as they look to the skies, the shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams..

Not sure if it’s the ‘best’ I’ve ever heard but this line sticks with me. .

I guess they couldn’t find any stock footage of an Aussie school bus. They did manage to find footage of a US school bus driving on the wrong side of the road though.

I gotcha,..

ISRAEL LENT SEVERAL antiquities to the White House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event. Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can’t figure out how to get them back, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.

The artifacts were only supposed to be in Washington, D.C., for a few weeks. Israel Hasson, then the director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, told Haaretz that because they are so valuable, he wanted someone to pick them up instead of having them shipped overseas. The pandemic derailed these plans, and the artifacts remained in the White House. Israeli authorities learned several months ago that they wound up at Mar-a-Lago.

Eli Eskozido, who took over for Hasson at the Israeli Antiquities Authority, has solicited the help of the Israeli government and Trump’s former U.S. ambassador to the nation in his efforts to retrieve the artifacts — to no avail.

Somehow, the former president stealing ancient Israeli artifacts isn’t surprising. Trump all but ransacked the White House on his way out of office, most notably absconding with hundreds of classified documents. Trump was criminally indicted for his handling of the documents in June, and yet still thinks he’s entitled to the sensitive material. Rolling Stone reported late last month that he was demanding his lawyers figure out how to get “my documents” back after the government retrieved them, even as it became clear he would be indicted for hoarding them.

” The lamps were lent to the white house in 2019, before Trump took office.

What? He took office in January 2017.
