Jamel, the researcher-fisherman, the monster-sized catfish, the good Samaritan, the troubadours, the half-bored/half-hallucinated Parisians on the Seine banks during apéro time. As the story goes, it becomes more and more legendary. Without doubt: the best French video of 2025!

Quite a bold form factor choice given the grisly connection between cryptocurrency and fingers currently in France… 🥶

I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a series finale, even while knowing the endgame. With #Andor, Tony Gilroy and diego luna put meaningful storytelling and character development at the heart of #StarWars. It’s hard to imagine it any other way now.

Behind the brutal action, #MissionImpossible offers a poetic mirror: as Ethan Hunt strives to save the world, Tom Cruise strives to save cinema itself.

Le ligne 1, c’est la plus parisienne de toutes, déjà elle a une grandeur républicaine avec son serpentin, et quand elle se ferme, zéro pitié, qui que tu sois, « bouge de là », le coup de pression qu’elle met aux ensuqués, c’est tellement synchro avec l’ADN violent de cette ville

Stripe's usage-based billing platform has grown 145% YTD. There's lots of discussion about when the industry will shift from seat-based pricing to consumption models, but it's clear in our data that the transition is already happening. I'm curious what the second-order effects

I am not one to pick absolute favorites, but I found an unexpected proxy, at least for music: the diversity of covers I'm drawn to. When you love a song across genres, artists, & decades of reinterpretation, that's your answer. Mine is "Where is my Mind?" open.spotify.com/playlist/46qmv…
