Repost/Thiel and Koch seem happy to exempt themselves from the rules they apply to others. Thiel's a hardcore libertarian who rails against state surveillance but is happy to oversee Facebook's monetisation of every mite of data it can get its claws on.https://t.co/GcwZK3xGCX

Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹

References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
