ARGH.

The French art thief was interesting, as was the piece about Jan Hus.

Everything else was pretty much one horror after another. Thus I'm stopping now.

No need to apologize. You're just the messenger. And yeah, things suck.

Have you seen https://www.gq.com/story/the-great-chinese-art-heist ? (I'm honestly kind of sympathetic if it's the Chinese doing it. The museums should be taking lots of pics and asking permission to exhibit "on loan.")

That's an interesting thing about the price of smartphones, although I wonder what kind of effect it'll have on the smartphone market.

I could be wrong, but there are a lot of factors leading to the high price of particularly flagship phones. Like manufactured prestige and that thing that other industries do, like squeezing more money out of a narrowing enthusiast market rather than getting more customers in.
