The population of Earth exceeded this number last Tuesday, according to the United Nations, although these things are hard to count so it cautions that its timing could be out by a year or two.Years since the global population first surpassed seven billion.

Hats off to the French. For the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, organisers have eschewed the traditional animal or creature approach for their mascots and opted instead for the lesser-seen marriage of anthropomorphism and millinery. “What could be better than little Phrygian caps to lead this revolution through sport with Paris 2024?” read the email introducing the Olympic Phryge and the Paralympic Phryge — representations of the red cap that became a symbol of liberty and freedom during the French Revolution. What indeed?
The Phryges, likened by French newspaper Libération to a “clitoris in trainers”, are “courageous, playful and ready to do anything to get France moving”, the Paris 2024 organisers said, inviting consumers to please visit their online shop where stuffed versions of the smiling, big-eyed triangles are on sale from €20 a pop.
