Still remember the Indonesian politician who staged a fake critical condition to avoid interrogation by the authorities?

 

Now he faked an accident and being "intensively treated" in a big hospital just about 1 mile from my workplace :lol:

How can a car hit a utility pole from the front but the glass on the rear left part completely off :mumble:

 

The "accident" happened when he is on the way to the interrogation of yet another corruption case.

Now many Indonesians are flooding Twitter with the hashtag #IndonesiaMencariPapah (Indonesia Looking for "Father") - a nickname of him because he used the word "Papa" as his code name from leaked phone recordings :lol:

 

Or even joking about suing the police because they don't take the utility pole to the hospital, etc, etc..

Leonardo Da Vinci's last painting in private hands "Salvator Mundi" (at least it is said to be by him) was sold for $450.3 M yesterday. It's old owner Dmitry Rybolovlev bought it for $127 M 4 years ago, so he made a good profit ...

The art market is getting crazier and crazier by the minute, but it has to be said that Da Vinci apparently was a really interesting character ...

For me personally it is just sad that it is allowed for people to buy great artworks like this and then hide it away, especially because this work was just recently "discovered" and i think that everyone should get the chance to see it before it is locked away again. It also has to be said that the art market is a great place to launder money, so we should take the skyrocketing of the prizes we see with a grain of salt ...

      Curling WC Olympic Qualification Event 2025

      By Jan Linha · Posted

      Well, I see that the national competition between mixed doubles and also men increased. Also actually amongst women, too. Before it was mostly Kubeskova team that participated in some international events. This year, Synackova team did really well in the pre-qualification just the final qualification was not that good. But curling is about details. Generally, I am glad to see that there is really much higher competition than it was 10 years ago. And seeing Chabickovsky a Zelingerova making it to the Olympics in such a young age can be really promising for their career as curling is becoming more professional, as we see Grand Slams and other big tournaments.    As for now, I think that in Milano Team Klima and mixed doubles can make really interesting results. After all, they will finish in top 10 so just qualifying to the Games is already a huge achievement

      Oh yea.  Seemed like they were starting to get some less than elite pitchers, but the commits they've had in the last 12 hours have been stellar.  Now the staff feels like an embarrassment of riches.  They have 3 elite starters and a bunch of guys that can eat innings.  Thrilled what Mark DeRosa has been able to put together.
