This is the problem with asking stuff like this in polls. The French election had massive turnout, a clear goal of keeping the far right out of power that was very successful, and more than 70% of voters are unhappy. *FRENCH POLL SHOWS 71% ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ELECTION RESULT

In his first public remarks since the election (an open letter, how lame!), Macron calls on the various blocs in parliament to agree on a government and an agenda, in view of which he will name the PM. This essentially confirms that France's new political order is parliamentary, not presidential.

A counterintuitive finding: US crash deaths are *higher* when traffic volumes are lower.
Likely reason: Without congestion slowing them down, more Americans drive recklessly -- because US roads are designed for speed.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.

Le Pen's party (RN) got 143 seats. While a record, that's far (very far) from the 289 they hoped for to govern. How?! Hundreds of Left & Macronist candidates dropped out to help each other block the RN. And millions of voters then voted strategically to get that job done.
