First up, the iconic wax statue of Abe Lincoln near Washington, D.C. couldn't stand the #heat and ended up melting, much to the surprise and amusement of visitors. 

Next, in #Japan, where scientists are pushing the boundaries of what's possible with technology.  They've developed living skin for #robots, blurring the lines between science fiction and reality. Imagine a future where robots look and feel just like us—it's as fascinating as it is thought-provoking.

But it's not all news and tech; we've got a killer lineup of music to keep your summer vibes rolling.  Wine Lips brings their high-energy garage punk to the table, perfect for those spontaneous road trips or backyard #BBQs.  The Skints mix it up with their reggae and ska-infused sound that's as diverse and dynamic as a summer festival.  And don't miss out on the soulful stylings of Lola Young, whose voice is like a cool breeze on a hot day—smooth, refreshing, and just what you need.
