I wonder if the Louvre heist turns out like the Millennium Dome robbery with the guys stealing bits of glass?, https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/millennium-dome-heist

It seems a week is not only a long time in politics ... https://road.cc/content/news/cycling-live-blog-22-october-2025-316485 Maybe Lappi's looking at a run in French politics?

Two can play at Paramount's game - Comcast "donate" to an ongoing building in Washington DC https://nypost.com/2025/10/24/media/comcast-delivers-fat-gift-for-white-house-ballroom-as-it-faces-us-roadblocks-in-possible-merger-bid-sources/ and Amazon also "donate" ...
