I hadn’t heard much of Branson lately except for that headline around two weeks ago.
The timing is surely just a funny coincidence, of course. Ha ha.

If only their money had gone to the people of the BVI, not the conman.
Maybe it will. Maybe the so-called con man is actually a kind of Robin Hood, and those millions are going to show up any day now. Hey, anything could happen, right?

I need Lyrebird so I can change my Echo to sound like Lil John. Alexa’s voice is starting to sound a bit naggy. “Hey yo John, turn on the lights!” … “Okaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!” *lights turn on

This.
Also, did you know that the lyre bird is an actual bird that imitates other bird calls?

O man that’s awesome. Unfortunate, but rather sorta funny.
Also, I wish I had friends I could call up and borrow 2 million dollars from.

For years I assumed it was spelt Liar bird (because it’s lying about what it is), even though I’d heard of a lyre.
