Silly story from local news (google translate)

He did it to make the everything app.

In other news: war.

Commendable. I also doubt (Meta's) Threads is a contender.
I thought Musk would run Twitter/X into the ground, but that's (likely) not happening.
But it most certainly hasn't been the financial success he had hoped for.

The virtually unbeatable Alejandro León won both the singles and pairs finals, and came 3rd with "his" team.
In singles, the crowd favourite Kristin Thuv was 2nd. just 33 seconds after León.
Tereza Koptíková came 3rd. in both single and pairs, and won with teams.

"Video unavailable" (at least where I am). What is it?

I just hope it can power my phone in a few years.

Bangor University has designed nuclear fuel cells, the size of poppy seeds...
...
The researchers have just sent the tiny nuclear fuel cell, known as a Trisofuel, to their partners for testing.
...
This Trisofuel cell could be used to power a micro nuclear generator, created by Rolls Royce.

Never heard og Jimmy Buffet before, but it's nice. Might check up on his albums.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was a let-down.
It's technically and visually really well made. The first 20 mins. are enjoyable - a good start and introduction to events, with silly, over-the-top action. (The de-aging CGI technology still needs a bit of work, though). Other scenes are also visually top notch.
But I absolutely hate the premise and the ending. However, the story and characters is what bothers me the most.
The Helena character seems to be the driving factor and the initiator of most of the events, with Indiana Jones tagging along and helping with his knowledge. It's to such a degree that Indiana Jones seems to be playing second fiddle in his own movie.
Helena is practically the protagonist, without being particularly interesting (only interested in money, until - surprising no one - she isn't. What a trope).
Indiana Jones seems a bit feeble and naïve, without any of the resourcefulness and wit of the other movies.
Mason (CIA agent) is introduced as an influential character (I thought), but ultimately does nothing of interest.
The Nazi Voller is a nice character (and looks great) with historical references (Nazi scientist turned NASA asset), but could have used a bit more background.
Teddy serves as a Short Round replacement but doesn't quite have the same charm.
All in all there's a good film lying somewhere in the rubble of the script. Sadly it gave me PTSD flashbacks to the "Crystal Skull".

The 3 first (1980s) Indiana Jones movies are highly recommended.

Bryan Ferry makes everything cool(er). Here, a song by Neil Young.

Prigozhin likely killed but no evidence plane was shot down by missile, Pentagon says

[Brig Gen] Patrick Ryder just said at the Pentagon briefing that there was no information to indicate a surface-to-air missile brought down Prigozhin's plane - contrary to earlier reports by some outlets.

But what exactly are the missiles under discussion?

Often abbreviated to SAM, a surface-to-air missile is designed to be launched from the ground to destroy aircraft, among other objects.

It can be fired from land or sea towards other missiles or even aircraft.

Ukraine's highly coveted and strategically important natural resources are now being sent to Russia. Ukrainian, Slovak and Czech investors in the mining business have had their property seized by Russia.

Metallurgy ore exports fell by nearly 60% in 2022 from 2021, dropping to a total value of less than $3 billion (€2.8 billion) ...

In addition to the Kruta Balka site, Russia also occupies also [sic] three of Ukraine's rare earth deposits, according Kashchuk. The resource expert added that zirconium, uranium, but especially graphite and titanium will grow in demand.
