A band of thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday, making off with elegant and historically significant pieces of jewelry of “incalculable” value, France’s interior minister said. In a heist that lasted seven minutes, a group of thieves used a motorized lift on a side of the museum that is under construction to rise above the ground floor. They entered the museum through a window using a glass cutter, according to the BBC. Once inside, the thieves threatened security guards, who left the area, before breaking into display cases, grabbing the jewelry, and fleeing the scene on two scooters. Nobody was harmed in the heist, which French Culture Minister Rachida Dati described as “very professional.” The stolen items were from the museum’s Apollo Gallery, which houses the crown jewels of past royals of France. The thieves snatched tiaras, earrings, and other items that together contain thousands of diamonds and other jewels. The stolen items include a tiara, decorative bow, and brooch from Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III. The tiara alone includes 212 pearls, 1,998 diamonds, and 992 rose-cut diamonds, according to The New York Times. A sapphire set consisting of a matching tiara, necklace, and earrings were also stolen. The set is of unknown origin, but was worn by royals such as Queen Hortense, the wife of Louis Bonaparte. Queen Marie-Amélie, the wife of Louis Philippe I, also wore the set. The pieces together include 24 Ceylon sapphires, which only come from Sri Lanka, and 1,083 diamonds. The bandits also made off with an emerald and diamond necklace presented by Napoleon to his second wife, Marie Louise, as a wedding gift for their marriage in 1810. The necklace includes 32 emeralds and 1,138 diamonds. Included in the Louvre’s set was also a pair of matching earrings that the thieves also stole. French President Emmanuel Macron pledged in a post on social media that the jewelry would be recovered and the thieves brought to justice. He also said a new “renaissance” project to update the Louvre includes updates that have strengthened the museum’s security.

Space-based solar power has been gaining more and more traction recently. The recent success of Caltech’s Space Solar Power Project, which demonstrated the feasibility of transmitting power from space to the ground, has been matched by a number of pilot projects throughout the world, all of which are hoping to tap into some of the almost unlimited and constant solar energy that is accessible up in geostationary orbit (GEO). But, according to a new paper from a group of Italian and German researchers, there are plenty of constraints on getting that power down here to Earth - and most of them are more logistical than technical.

Carrie knew what she was doing. It seems like collabs are all the rage in country music right now. Over the past couple of years we’ve gotten massive collaborations between Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae, Luke Combs and Bailey Zimmerman, Jelly Roll and…well, pretty much everybody, and of course we got an entire album of collabs between Post Malone and many of the top country artists. But back in their day, nobody made a career off of collabs more than Florida Georgia Line. The duo of Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard had chart-topping collaborations with Nelly, Bebe Rexha, Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, the Backstreet Boys, Morgan Wallen, and Chase Rice, along with collabs featuring Justin Bieber, Jason Aldean, Jason Derulo, Hardy, Chris Tomlin, and others. One artist they never collabed with, though, was Carrie Underwood. It wasn’t for a lack of trying. In fact, the duo even made a public pitch to the American Idol alum asking her to join them on a song. And Carrie turned them down. Now, we may never even know that FGL was rejected by Carrie Underwood if they had just done what everybody else in the music industry does and asked Carrie behind the scenes first. But that’s not what they did. Instead, FGL took to Instagram back in 2020 teasing a new song that they wrote with Julia Michaels – and asking Carrie to jump on the song with them: “We’d really love for Carrie Underwood to hear this song, we think it would be a massive collaboration. We’d love to send it to you, but we don’t have your email or your phone number, so we’re just gonna play a little of the song.” Now, they might not have had her number, but Nashville’s not THAT big of a town. They could have sent it to a friend, a producer, somebody at a label, and asked them to get it to Carrie privately. But instead they just put her on the spot and threw it out there on Instagram. Bold move. If it works, great, but if it doesn’t, you get embarrassed when she turns you down. And as it turns out, that’s exactly what happened. Tyler was asked about the collab request by Cody Alan on CMT Hot 20 Countdown, where Hubbard was forced to admit that they got rejected: “No, we got turned down on that one, you don’t win em all, Cody.” I guess she didn’t love it as much as we did, but that’s alright. I think she said it was amazing and she’d love to, but it was right around her book tour release and so she was super busy and didn’t really have time, but who knows, who knows where it will go. Now it’s just open game… we got turned down, we got turned down, Cody.” Didn’t have time, or didn’t want to? Because I feel like if she really loved it as much as you say, she probably could have found time. And I feel like FGL would have worked around Carrie’s schedule to release it if it she was really itching to get on the song. Let’s be real for a second…why would Carrie Underwood ever do a song with Florida Georgia Line? I appreciate the willful ignorance and whole “shooters shoot” mentality, but c’mon already. Carrie Underwood? Was Chris Stapleton unavailable too? Tyler Childers didn’t have time to jump on either? Should have sent it to Sturgill Simpson or Sierra Ferrell to see what they thought of it while you were at it. FGL’s obviously not around as a duo anymore, but for any other artists reading this, let me give you some free advice that they taught us in law school: Never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to. Because you may just end up looking stupid – and getting rejected by Carrie Underwood.
