La France aujourd'hui — Vive la République, Vive la France !

Un grand merci à François Hollande et à Dominique de Villepin pour leur présence sur les émissions politiques françaises du dimanche. Des voix indispensables en des temps complexes. Je regarderai avec une grande attention.

Vive la République. Vive la France. 🇫🇷

🌹 45 ans — La Victoire Historique · François Mitterrand élu Président (10 mai 1981)

Le 10 mai 1981 — il y a tout juste 45 ans — François Mitterrand était élu Président de la République française, inaugurant une ère nouvelle pour la gauche et pour la France entière. Un moment fondateur pour le Parti Socialiste, dont je suis membre avec fierté. La rose reste debout. 🌹 En mémoire, en hommage, et en espérance.

⚠️ Hantavirus — Avertissement Santé · Health Warning — Coming Thursday

Medicine & Health Day — Jeudi prochain : We will be discussing the Hantavirus, an emerging public health concern. Transmitted primarily through contact with infected rodents (droppings, urine, saliva) — it is not currently known to spread person-to-person. Early symptoms can resemble flu: fatigue, fever, muscle aches. If you've been in rural areas or had contact with rodents, consult a medical professional promptly. Stay informed. Stay safe. À jeudi.

📋 Major Monday — Monday (Lundi), May (Mai) 11, 2026

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday (Lundi), May (Mai) 11, 2026. It’s Major Monday! Therefore I’m doing Major Content Curation today. I didn’t have time to record my “Coffee With Zack” episode in English, but I will record it soon this week. The delayed “Coffee With Zaki” episode from last week will be available sometime this week too. As always, I am impatient.

I want my disability checks to be approved so that I can move into an apartment complex at the end of the summer. Please understand that I do ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC out of my own pocket, and there are no major investors so far. #Razer Gaming Company is an affiliated sponsor with me, but hasn’t sent me any gear so far. I’ve done over 1,200 PS5 livestreams, and I hope to continue to get their attention. I want to do unboxing videos so bad. I want my own livestream room. I want to be on Twitch. I want everything.

I hope you ladies celebrated #MothersDay yesterday and had fun! I went to Temple Coffee to have a #SelfCareDay and drink some coffee and work on a report. There was a Barista with bright color hair just like Arcade Spirits 1 & Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers. I recommend the game developers to make Arcade Spirits 3! (It’s a Dating Simulator.)

It was also 5/10 (Go) — (Ten) Day! #GotenDay — #DragonBallZ #DragonBallGT #DragonBallSuper #DragonBallDAIMA 🐉

🐉 Happy Goten Day — 悟天の日 — 5/10 (Go•Ten)

5 (Go) + 10 (Ten) = 悟天 (Goten) — Son Goten, youngest son of Goku and Chi-Chi, one of the most adorable and powerful half-Saiyans in the Dragon Ball universe. Born with extraordinary power, he’s a core part of Dragon Ball Z, GT, Super, and DAIMA. Don’t sleep on Goten & Trunks — Gotenks is arguably one of the most fun characters in the entire franchise. Yesterday was his day. Celebrate retroactively! 🟡

🐉 Goku Day — Saturday (Samedi), May (Mai) 9, 2026

What’s up, everybody! It’s Saturday (Samedi), May (Mai) 9, 2026. Great day for Sports! I hope you enjoyed the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps! I heard it was awesome — I will watch the DVR. I was able to livestream some videogames this weekend, check out the latest on youtube.com/@iamzaki.

Today is a celebration of GOKU! It’s GOKU DAY because 5 = (Go) and 9 = (Ku) in Japanese. As always, there are a ton of anime available on streaming platforms, but you’ve got to watch all of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z Kai, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball DAIMA. Don’t forget about the movies!

Dragon Ball Super Season 2: Galactic Patrol is on its way. There are videogames available, including Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero and the announcement of Dragon Ball: XENOVERSE 3. This weekend was an excellent opportunity to watch Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero — I highly recommend it. If you’ve seen it in English, try to watch it in Japanese Audio with English Subtitles for the full experience. “Arigatou.”

🌟 Happy Goku Day — 悟空の日 — May 9

5 (Go) + 9 (Ku) = 悟空 (Goku). Today we celebrate the greatest anime protagonist of all time. From a baby Saiyan sent to conquer Earth to the Universe’s mightiest warrior and defender of all living things — Son Goku’s journey is one of anime’s greatest gifts to the world. Whether you’re Team Goku or Team Gohan (birthday coming up May 18!), today is for everyone who ever screamed at a power-up. Kaio-ken!

Recommended watch: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero in Japanese audio + English subs. Streaming now. Absolutely worth it. Piccolo & Gohan content is unmatched. 🟢

🐉 Gohan’s Day — Friday (Vendredi), May (Mai) 8, 2026

What’s up, everybody! It’s Friday (Vendredi), May (Mai) 8, 2026. It’s a very important day today — it’s Gohan’s Day! (Dragon Ball Z / Dragon Ball Z Kai / Dragon Ball Super).

TGIF! Sorry for the delay — I was busy writing new #LongReads articles / Op-Eds & running errands. I will do my best to livestream some videogames this weekend, but we have to focus on the TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps 🏁

I gotta get my hands on creating my LEGO TECHNIC Peugeot 9X8 before the 24 Hours of Le Mans… it’s coming up… By the way, I ADORE GRAN TURISMO 7 POWER PACK DLC. There’s so much to do — it’s going to take forever! Very hard though. But plenty of livestreams coming up! 🎮

Today's Focus

What's up, everybody! It's Thursday (Jeudi), May (Mai) 7, 2026. Today we focus on Medicine, and as always, we raise awareness on Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, Music Therapy, and Videogames as a Therapeutic Endeavor.

I. EDS & HSD Awareness

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders

🩺 Community Resource

Many questions about Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) can be answered through our resources, programs, and community resources.

II. LEGO Technic & Bipolar Management

Building Stability: LEGO Technic as a Tool for Bipolar Management

A global study published in Bipolar Disorders in March 2026 emphasizes that while digital mood tracking is evolving, long-term stability often relies on structured, hands-on routines that anchor the mind. For many, complex construction like LEGO Technic serves as a bridge between clinical management and daily emotional regulation.

Here are four targeted tips for using Technic builds to maintain stability, based on recent research into cognitive “flow states” and bipolar management.

1. Leverage “Tactile Grounding” During Hypomania

When racing thoughts or high energy levels make it difficult to stay still, the physical resistance of Technic pins and the precision required for gear alignment provide tactile grounding.

The Tip

When you feel your energy shifting toward a “high” state, switch from digital screens to a Technic gearbox sub-assembly. The mechanical complexity forces your pre-frontal cortex to engage, slowing down impulsive thought patterns by tethering them to a physical, logic-based task.

2. Restore Executive Function in Depressive Phases

Depressive episodes often come with “brain fog” or a loss of executive function (planning and initiating tasks). LEGO Technic is essentially “executive function exercise” disguised as play.

The Tip

Break a large set into tiny, manageable “micro-goals” by using the numbered bags. Completing just one small section — like a piston engine or a steering rack — triggers a low-stakes dopamine release that provides a sense of accomplishment without the overwhelming pressure of “real world” responsibilities.

3. Use the “Flow State” to Combat Rumination

Ruminative thinking (looping negative thoughts) is a common challenge in bipolar stability. Clinical studies in early 2026 have noted that complex building induces a flow state, where internal self-criticism drops away.

The Tip

Set a “Stability Session” for 45 minutes. The specific nature of Technic — where one misplaced gear can stop the entire machine from working — demands a level of “active focus” that naturally interrupts negative thought loops more effectively than passive activities like watching TV.

4. Create an External Order for Internal Calm

A healthy bipolar routine thrives on predictability. Because Technic builds are highly structured and follow a definitive, logical progression, they offer a sense of controllable order when internal emotions feel chaotic.

The Tip

Establish a dedicated building space. Use a sorting tray for your Technic connectors and beams. The act of organizing these pieces into categories (size, color, function) acts as a preparatory mindfulness exercise, signaling to your brain that it is time to transition from a stressed state to a regulated, focused state.

Note: While hobbies like LEGO Technic are powerful tools for emotional regulation, they are most effective when paired with a professional care plan. If you notice significant shifts in sleep or mood, it is important to consult your healthcare provider alongside your building sessions.
Personal Note from Zaki

I recently built a LEGO Orchid flower, but I am eager to build the LEGO TECHNIC PEUGEOT SPORT 9X8. As always, one of my greatest motivations in life is to build this LEGO Technic, then build more LEGO Technic in the future, etc. I won’t let people bring me down. #LEGOTECHNIC

III. Music Therapy & EDM

EDM & Mental Health: The 2026 Science of Dance as Therapy

As of May 2026, the intersection of music therapy and electronic dance music (EDM) has shifted from niche “festival wellness” into a scientifically validated field of Digital Therapeutics (MDTs) and clinical movement therapy. Recent studies published in journals like Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (May 2026) and updates from the Global Music Therapy Market report highlight how the high-energy, rhythmic nature of dance music is being harnessed for neurological and psychological stability.

1. Neural Entrainment & “The Bass Effect”

A key focus in April 2026 research is Neural Entrainment — the process where brain waves synchronize with external rhythmic stimuli. EDM is uniquely suited for this because of its consistent “four-on-the-floor” beat and sub-bass frequencies. Clinical trials are now using specific BPM (beats per minute) ranges to help patients with Parkinson’s Disease and gait disorders. The steady, predictable pulse of dance music provides an “auditory scaffold” that helps the brain bypass damaged motor pathways, improving walking speed and balance.

2. The Rise of EDM-Specific Digital Therapeutics

In early 2026, the music therapy market — valued at over $3.2 billion — saw a surge in MDTs (Music-based Digital Therapeutics). New apps are using EDM’s structural elements (the “build-up” and the “drop”) to modulate the autonomic nervous system. By syncing a listener’s heart rate with the tempo of a track, therapists are using dance music to “down-regulate” acute stress. The high energy of a “drop” can act as a controlled release for pent-up tension, while the melodic “breakdown” sections facilitate deep breathing and relaxation.

3. Somatic Reset: Dance Therapy for FND

A landmark study led by King’s College London (updated Feb 2026) is currently testing Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) for Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). The therapy uses the immersive nature of dance music to help patients who feel “disconnected” from their physical selves. Unlike traditional exercise, dancing to EDM encourages a non-judgmental flow state, reducing “rumination” (looping negative thoughts) by forcing the brain to focus on the immediate, multi-sensory experience of rhythm and movement.

Comparison of EDM Therapy Strategies (2026 Data)

Strategy Mechanism Primary Goal
Neural Entrainment Rhythmic synchronization Motor rehabilitation & gait stability
Affect Matching Syncing music energy to mood Validating emotions to reduce “brain fog”
Somatic Reset Tactile response to bass/rhythm Reducing dissociation and physical tension
Social Co-regulation Group movement to shared beats Strengthening empathy and social resilience

The 2026 EDM Mental Health Toolkit

Just this month (May 2026), the organization Backline launched a specialized EDM Mental Health Toolkit. This resource bridges the gap between the science and the scene, providing practical ways to use music for “re-entry” after high-stress events. It highlights that the “post-event comedown” can be managed through curated lofi and progressive house, which use lower frequencies to soothe the nervous system after the high-decibel stimulation of a live set.

Clinical Insight: While “raves” are often seen as high-stress environments, the controlled use of dance music in a therapeutic setting — specifically at volumes below 85dB — is showing a medium-to-large beneficial effect on stress-related cortisol levels.

IV. Pragmata & Paternal Grief

Pragmata as a Fatherhood Simulator: Videogames & Healing from Pregnancy Loss

Pragmata (released April 17, 2026) has unexpectedly become a focal point for conversations around paternal grief and healing. While there isn’t a single “medical journal” article specifically on this niche yet, the gaming community and mental health advocates are rapidly documenting how the game’s narrative serves as a “therapeutic simulator” for men processing pregnancy loss. Here is a breakdown of why Pragmata is being hailed as a vital tool for men dealing with the aftermath of a miscarriage.

1. The “Dad Space” Phenomenon

The game follows Hugh Williams, a protagonist who finds himself in a protective, paternal role for Diana, an AI girl. Players have dubbed this “Dad Space.” For men who have experienced a miscarriage, the game provides a safe, interactive container to express the protective instincts that were “orphaned” by their loss.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, which some men find difficult to engage with, Pragmata focuses on doing — repairing, protecting, and bonding. Reviewers have noted that the game often shifts from intense combat to quiet moments, like pushing Diana on a swing in a lunar base, allowing men to “practice” fatherhood in a digital space and providing a bittersweet but necessary emotional release.

2. Digital Memorialization and Closure

Recent viral discussions (notably on Reddit and YouTube) have highlighted personal accounts from fathers who used the game to confront long-buried grief. One widely shared story involves a father who lost a child years ago and found that Diana’s growth and learning reminded him of the child he never got to see grow up. He credited the game with helping him finally “stop sitting shiva” and move toward closure. The game has also sparked a massive trend of men openly discussing “baby fever” and the desire to start or protect a family, countering the typical stoic “manly” tropes often found in sci-fi shooters.

3. Psychological Framework: “Chekhov’s Puppy” and Emotional Safety

Therapeutically, the game utilizes what critics call “Chekhov’s Puppy” — an intensely innocent and lovable character that demands your care. By focusing on Diana’s safety, men can externalize their own internal pain. The narrative arc mirrors the feeling of trying to protect a family unit during a personal tragedy. As noted by mental health experts, the opposite of play isn’t work — it’s depression. Pragmata forces a state of “flow” and engagement that can act as a bridge out of the numbness that often follows a miscarriage.

Community Sentiment Summary (May 2026)

Feature Therapeutic Benefit for Men
Bonding Mechanics Re-engages “stalled” paternal instincts.
Lunar Base “Home” Creates a sense of domestic stability amidst chaos.
Diana’s AI Learning Provides the experience of witnessing a child’s milestones.
The Ending Offers a cathartic, uncomplicated emotional release.

While the game is a “Science-Fiction Action-Adventure,” its legacy is quickly becoming its role as a Fatherhood Simulator, helping a demographic that often grieves in silence find a voice through the controller.

Mental Health & Emotional Support

At Zack Technology LLC, mental health is never a sidebar — it is a core editorial commitment. Music therapy, emotional support, and the conversation around mental wellness are woven into everything we do, from JETLAG RADIO to Coffee with Zack and Coffee with Zaki, from the personal essays to the global geopolitics.

"Taking a mental health day, seeking support, and being honest about your struggles are not signs of weakness. They are the most courageous things a person can do."

— Zack Technology LLC · Mental Health Editorial

A personal note: as you know, I need privacy to do my best creative work — whether that's filming a new Coffee with Zack episode 🇺🇸, producing for JETLAG RADIO 🎧, or going live for PS5 Livestream #1200 🎮. Things are going to get significantly easier in the next two months, and I genuinely cannot wait to bring you even more content, more consistently. Thank you for your patience, your support, and for being part of this community.

Music Therapy — The Sound of Healing

Research consistently shows that music — whether electronic, traditional, or classical — reduces cortisol, builds emotional regulation, and creates the neurological conditions for genuine healing. Whether you're processing world news or personal challenge, JETLAG RADIO is here for you. Sometimes the most political thing you can do is dance. 🎧💜
