After more than two decades of development, the Grand Egyptian Museum has officially opened on Egypt’s Giza Plateau. Designed by Heneghan Peng Architects, the huge complex brings together over 100,000 artefacts, including the complete Tutankhamun collection displayed in one place for the first time. The museum’s centrepiece, the Grand Staircase, rises through the structure’s halls and is lined with ancient statues, framing views of the pyramids beyond. Easily one of the most significant museum openings of this century, the building is likely to redefine how the world experiences one of history’s greatest civilisations. 📷 Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

Excellent Discussion & Highly Recommend. Breaking Point is a platform where all viewpoints can be aired openly. This episode features László Molnárfi, a self-declared Marxist with some very unconventional takes on the Irish left, migration policy, and class politics: “People Before Profit aren’t a workers’ party, they’re an activist brand with liberal positions and a good media network.” “Virtue signalling has replaced pragmatic politics on the Irish left; looking morally pure matters more than actually winning power or helping communities.” “If the working class don’t speak in the approved NGO-university vocabulary, the left writes them off as bigots instead of listening to what they’re actually saying.” “What the Irish government calls ‘migration policy’ is basically: buy a hotel in a neglected area, pack it with asylum seekers, and then call the locals far-right when they complain.” (Links in comments)
