🇨🇭🇪🇺 Voters in Switzerland are deciding whether to put a hard cap of 10 million people on the country's population, something no nation has ever done before.
The party behind the proposal says Switzerland is getting too crowded and that housing, hospitals, and public transport are struggling to keep up.
Their opponents say it's really an immigration vote wearing a different outfit.
The catch is that if Switzerland reaches 10 million people, it would have to end an agreement that lets Swiss and EU citizens move freely between each other's countries for work.
That could turn a population vote into a much bigger fight with Europe.
Polls show the country is almost split down the middle.
So this may look like a vote about population, but it's really a vote about immigration, the EU, and who gets to call the shots.

Went car browsing with the Mrs this arvo, and you know what?
The most interesting cars in the world right now aren't coming from Stuttgart or Detroit. They're coming from Zeekr and AVATR.
It was a paradigm shift for me. I think Chinese EVs are now setting the standard, rather than playing catchup. Impressive.
I was never particularly political.
But there are moments when you simply cannot look away.
I am half Swiss, half French, and I have lived in Switzerland and in Portugal.
Switzerland is not perfect. There are flaws, inertia, and many rules.
But one thing is fundamental to me: the respect for human beings that is lived and practiced in everyday life.
Four national languages, many cultures, many international residents — and yet there is a shared basic consensus in how people treat one another. That makes me proud.
Incidents like the ones we are currently seeing in the news further divide societies. I hope they do not lead to more hatred, but to greater awareness of how essential humanity truly is.
When you look at large countries that present themselves as superpowers, with a single language, a harsh tone — and read news of people being shot on open streets by authorities — the contrast becomes tangible.
Respect is not weakness.
And power does not replace humanity.
The future depends on what we choose to protect:
power — or human dignity.
Some people will watch the future happen.
Others prepare quietly.

🇨🇳 RECORD-BREAKING DRONE SHOW IN CHINA MAKES FIREWORKS LOOK STONE AGE
Liuyang, China - once famous for gunpowder - just nuked the fireworks game with 15,947 drones, all run from one computer.
The show, “A Firework Belonging to Me,” smashed two world records, including 7,496 drones firing actual fireworks mid-air.
Pixel-perfect sky art: trees, towers, flowers - all with centimeter precision thanks to RTK tech and a high-speed mesh swarm.
