Seems… complicated.

Trade unions at the Louvre have denounced the policy as “shocking philosophically, socially and on a human level” and have called for strike action over the change, along with a raft of other complaints. They argue that the museum’s vast collection of 500,000 items, including many from Egypt, the Middle East or Africa, hold universal human value. While rejecting discriminatory pricing on principle, they are also worried for practical reasons, as staff will now need to check visitors’ identity papers.

Eeh, people from europe fail to understand the distinction between state and federal government in the US all the time - because why should they know, despite the nuance both systems at their heart are aspects of the US government. Broadly the same deal as the distinction between council and central government in the UK (assuming the express isn’t making stuff up again)

I hate to point this out, but it’s 2026.

Everything else is great though.

Arrow 3 is an exo-atmospheric anti-ballistic missile system:

it’s not exactly useful in an anti-drone role, unless those drones happen to be coming in from space.

I mean, my neighborhood is, and it’s got 5x the population of the vatican. Also we haven’t fostered a culture that has been a driving force behind centuries of globe-spanning persecution and child rape, which feels like it should count for something. We don’t have to greenwash, we’re already green (also my state is 75% of the way there and has ~8 million people so we’re working on it)

But these six city blocks are so carbon neutral! Yay, the progressive vatican!

Guys I swear, this time It’ll happen. Forreal. I can feel it.

(Good on the EU for recognizing open source solutions as finally being truly viable options)

Reference to the song “Dr Livingstone I Presume” by The Moody Blues.

Dr. Livingstone, I presume
Stepping out of the jungle bloom
Into the mid-day sun
What did you find there?

Oh great, even more fun insanity…
