One of my all time favorite songs by the other absolute badass 70s UK punk band that had the same vibe as The Clash, and played/collaborated together often.

It’s not very punk’ish, but it’s a such a great song!

AI summary:

On February 4, 2025, during a White House press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump proposed that the United States take control of the Gaza Strip and permanently relocate its Palestinian residents to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan. He suggested that this plan would allow Palestinians to live without the constant threat of violence and envisioned redeveloping Gaza into a prosperous area, potentially the “Riviera of the Middle East. Trump did not rule out deploying U.S. troops to support this initiative and emphasized a long-term U.S. commitment to the region.

This proposal has been met with significant opposition. Egypt, Jordan, and other U.S. allies in the Middle East have cautioned that relocating Palestinians could destabilize the region and undermine ongoing peace efforts. Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its commitment to an independent Palestinian state and emphasized the need to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people without displacing them. Critics, including both Democratic and Republican lawmakers in the U.S., have expressed concerns about the feasibility and morality of the plan, with some describing it as a form of ethnic cleansing.

The proposal also faces practical challenges. Rebuilding Gaza is expected to take years and cost billions of dollars, raising questions about the logistics of relocating millions of residents and the willingness of other countries to accept them. Additionally, many Palestinians are determined to remain in their homeland despite the hardships, viewing their presence as a political statement against displacement. The plan’s potential to further complicate the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas adds to the concerns surrounding its implementation.

Prompt

I like to start my prompts broad, narrow it down, and then tweak from there. My beginning prompt is simply “an image of a fantastical steampunk ship with HG Wells feels on old-timey paper to resemble blueprints for the ship”.

Theme

Calling all inventors of imagination! Unleash your inner HG Wells in a steampunk-inspired masterpiece where gears, steam, and Victorian wonder collide. It doesn’t have to be a vehicle or structure; the only limit is your imagination.

Both artists (Tribe Called Quest and Jungle Brothers) were part of The Native Tongues Collective, a groundbreaking and influential movement in hip-hop, formed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It wasn’t an official group but rather a loose affiliation of artists and groups who shared similar philosophies about music, culture, and life. They stood out in the hip-hop world for promoting themes of positivity, Afrocentrism, social consciousness, and artistic innovation.
