There was a statue of $mellania in the town of Rozno, in Slovenia, close to Sevnica, where she was born. It got burned down. _Gustibus non est disputandum._ Then they made a copy, in bronze, so it would not burn: [![](https://static.eldiario.es/clip/94274625-a296-4bd9-8c00-bc7a7fe73c8f_16-9-discover-aspect-ratio_default_1117895.webp) ](https://static.eldiario.es/clip/94274625-a296-4bd9-8c00-bc7a7fe73c8f_16-9-discover-aspect-ratio_default_1117895.webp) It has “misteriously disappeared”, which I interpret as: it was stolen (link in Spanish). > **[Eslovenia investiga la misteriosa desaparición de la estatua de Melania Trump](https://www.eldiario.es/internacional/eslovenia-investiga-misteriosa-desaparicion-estatua-melania-trump_1_12303947.html)** > > Se trata de una réplica de una escultura original tallada en madera que representaba a la primera dama estadounidense cerca de la ciudad donde pasó su infancia y que fue quemada por desconocidos en julio de 2020 ---

That statue is hideous and perfect at the same time. ---

> [@dougrb's link](#): > > Very disappointed Out of morbid curiousity, I had a look on Google for this watch, and discovered his promotional website. It did not disappoint. For example the `HTTP headers` read “Shop abtest, counter-on-20, CRYPTO PRESIDENT and more Mens Watches at Trump Watches.” An AB test is something we nerds use to test different versions of a website, to see which makes sales. Typically you would use headers for custom reporting. But you would also use a custom header, NOT the ones Google uses for indexing your site. And “crypto president”? I’m unsure what “counter-on-20” means, either, but I am willing to bet that it is not supposed to be public information. You want those in your log files, not in your Google results… … oh god it is Shopify. Stand by for hacks in 3… 2… 1… ---

I can’t decide if this fits more in the “Leopard” thread or this one. Either way, it’s just a case of folks (in this case, Cubans) who thought they were exempt from Trump’s policies getting a rude awakening.
