Also late to the party, but I feel like Manmade (_ https://manmadebrand.com/_) deserves a mention. Very comfortable and pleasant fabric. 👍🏻

Le variant XEC présente des similitudes avec les autres souches du virus, avec les mêmes symptômes (toux, fièvre, maux de gorge, possible perte de goût et d’odorat) et avec un niveau de gravité identique. Les experts estiment que les vaccins covid existants devraient être efficaces contre la variante XEC, a rapporté* *BBC News.

I think I read recently that they had dropped their weights something like 45 minutes before the implosion. Seemingly indicating that they knew something was wrong and were trying to resurface. 🤔

Either way, not enough for a full Shrek movie. 🤷🏼‍♀️ (Sorry if it's too soon)

Or, you know, they just need someone, of any gender, to teach them the difference between vegetable oil and motor oil...

Hopefully, this doesn't break rule one and/or two too much. If so, let me know and I'll delete.

I think I know a little more than you about French president Macron, but if so, not by much. So here's the blind arguing with the blind!

Full disclaimer, this is a copypasta of the answer I got from an AI assistant:

Certainly! Let’s explore both perspectives on French President Emmanuel Macron:

1. Positive Perspective: Emmanuel Macron, as the French President, has made significant strides in positioning Europe as a more assertive global power. His vision for a united Europe, especially during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, demonstrates his commitment to international stability and cooperation. Macron’s close cooperation with other world leaders, such as United States President Joe Biden, highlights his dedication to addressing global challenges, including climate change and defending democracy. Furthermore, his efforts to rejuvenate France and prepare it for crises underscore his determination to lead effectively on the world stage. Macron’s energy, international presence, and rhetorical vision have garnered him support both domestically and internationally.

2. Critical Perspective: However, Macron’s presidency has not been without controversy. His perceived elitism, stemming from his background in finance and top universities, has alienated some segments of French society. His centralization of power and occasional gaffes, like telling an unemployed gardener to “cross the road” to find a job, have fueled class-based resentment. Additionally, his polarizing effect during the “yellow vest” protests and the visceral rejection he faces from part of the population mirror the challenges he encounters as a leader. While Macron scores well in polls on competency and presidential stature, his presidency remains divisive.

In summary, Macron’s impact on the world stage is multifaceted, with supporters praising his global vision and critics highlighting his perceived elitism and class-based tensions. Ultimately, whether he is a good president for the world depends on individual perspectives and priorities.

That's what I used to help myself determine if you were a little too harsh on him. I thought it could be beneficial to share, but like I started this response with, if this is frowned upon, I'll happily remove this!

It really is unfortunate. 🫤

When asked for his view of what happened, Albon said he was trying to back off once he realised he was in Ricciardo's blind spot, but couldn't help avoiding the contact. "I had a grip advantage [on soft tyres], kind of surprised [with] the grip I had out of [Turn] 2, and was able to pull underneath him and have a good run into 3," Albon explained. "More about just trying to get him a little bit off line [at Turn] 3 and try and find a way for 4, 5, 6, 7 - to see if I could upset his line a little bit. "Obviously just one of them. He didn't see me, clearly. I tried to back out of it last minute. "There was a moment where I realised he hadn't seen me here, the way he's pulling across, so I hit the brakes and tried to get out of it.

"But I was almost too far alongside him and he still was coming across, I couldn't avoid it." With no spare car available until Miami, Williams is continuing to walk on eggshells while its pool of spare parts dwindles. "It's no secret that we are having a tough time with it at the moment with the parts we've got," Albon acknowledged. This is going to hurt us for sure."

I'm not super familiar with the whole affair, but aren't these subs the "dagger" that is stuck in France's back?

Just curious.

Un p'tit peu piège à clics (clickbait).

GUERRE EN UKRAINE - C’est une première après deux ans de conflit entre la Russie et l’Ukraine. Au cours d’une interview publiée ce vendredi 22 mars, le porte-parole du Kremlin Dmitri Peskov a employé pour la première fois le terme de « guerre » pour qualifier son action militaire dans le pays voisin.

Also, he ended up with a bullet in the head. 😶

“We don’t know if he’s going to make it in the next 24 hours," Matthew Malinowski told NBC News by phone in his first public comments. "He was shot in the head."

City Manager Marnie Cluckie added that the city can’t access the data, since it’s encrypted, but that they have a backup in place.

“All evidence at this point and based on what our cyber experts are telling us is that while it's encrypted it hasn't been removed from the organization, it hasn't been taken and therefore it hasn’t been compromised,” Cluckie said.

When it comes to getting services back online, she said fire and paramedic services, along with anything safety-related, are priorities. Meanwhile, the city is still working to contain the breach and rebuild its IT system.

“It’s not over yet,” Horwath said, noting the long path to restoration still ahead. “Those bad guys are still out there.”
