By law, women in France keep their surname when they marry and never relinquish it. Many people don't seem aware of this, including most banks and... the Social Security administration.

Hot take: The Athletic section of the NYT is insane, with its interminable analyses followed by illiterate comments.

All else aside, the food in Greece tends toward the greasy and repetitive. Definitely not "amazing".

The last French president of FIFA was Jules Rimet (from 1921 to 1954), for whom the World Cup is named. Corruption came later, with Havelange and Blatter and the big money.

OK, but didn't you, as a Republican, once support George W Bush? Perhaps Trump in 2016? Not to speak of Reagan. You and your anti-Trump (former) Republicans colleagues should display a little more humility.

Need a book that's not a slog for a flight. Maybe something fun and funny. Not a huge sci-fi guy. The last books I read were Strange Houses and Strange Pictures, which were okay, but I'm mostly an autofiction guy when I'm stuck on a plane. Something voicey and fucked up, please, thank you.

When the Paris Arc de Triomphe was completed, Napoleon had already been dead for 15 years. He did pass under it but in a coffin in 1840, almost 20 years after his death. A fitting model for Trump?

Paolo Zampolli est un personnage peu recommendable. Il est mêlé à Epstein à qui il aurait fournit des jeunes femmes, dont Melania, la future épouse de Trump. Il a fait déporter son ex-femme par ICE.

The problem with one-party systems is that if and when they allow fair elections, everyone joins the opposition and you end up with another single party.

There's no need to blackmail Trump. His greed and ignorance are what drives him.

“If the war stops now, Iran would understand that they would just have to hit the Gulf countries.” This could lead the Arab countries to try to reduce their dependence on the U.S. as a security partner, possibly turning to Russia or China... www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

What Trump’s War in Iran Means for the World’s Oil Supply
Iran has effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, blocking much of the world’s oil supply. The war has now become a race to stabilize the global economic order, Sudarsan Raghavan writes.
