Tuesday (Mardi) November (Novembre) 10, 2026

The news is not good, I thought I was going to get a new vehicle soon, but it did not materialize. Either #GermanEngineering or #JDM. Please understand that once I make a selection (and receive a donation), I'm stuck with that vehicle for the next 5-10 years more than likely. That means, if you are a car dealership looking to sponsor me and make a donation because I am Zaki Qayoumi, the DJ of JETLAG RADIO, quite possibly the most important podcast on the planet, get in touch with me. Download my EPK (Electronic Press Kit) and let's have a discussion. Due to high insurance costs, and the fact that I am on the poverty line, and that I am waiting for disability to be approved which was denied the last 4 times, including the last time using a lawyer’s help. Currently recently filed an appeal which may take another 6-8 months for a decision. The vehicle must be between $20K-$39K full-size sedan. I need this new car/vehicle to move forward for ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, my Startup, my Company. Your help is more than appreciated, and I'd like to receive this by Thanksgiving/Black Friday. I am excited that I have upgraded telephones , therefore I can return to Barnes & Noble Elk Grove, CA. I do hate the lack of good parking spots. I am eager to work on the laptop in the Café again. I will continue to visit B&N Roseville & B&N Folsom as well. Meanwhile, I will also as always work from Temple Coffee. Still waiting for Blue Bottle Coffee to open a real location in Sacramento, CA. Also, if you're the Barnes & Noble Elk Grove Social Media Manager, add me back on Instagram (username: IAMZAKI), so I can view your insta. I have a lot of reading to do, unfortunately, I do not have an allowance to purchase books and magazines currently. But I do plan on making purchases as soon as possible. I lost my yearly membership to "The Economist" and I was very hurt. I need to buy a weekly edition once in a blue Moon. Eager to buy some Starbucks too.

Les nouvelles ne sont pas bonnes : je pensais obtenir un nouveau véhicule prochainement, mais cela ne s'est finalement pas concrétisé. J'envisage soit un modèle de conception allemande (#GermanEngineering), soit un véhicule japonais (#JDM). Sachez qu'une fois mon choix arrêté (et après réception d'un don), je devrai probablement conserver ce véhicule pendant les 5 à 10 prochaines années. Si vous représentez une concession automobile et souhaitez me sponsoriser — en faisant un don, par exemple — gardez à l'esprit que je suis Zaki Qayoumi, DJ de JETLAG RADIO, ce qui est sans doute le podcast le plus important de la planète ; n'hésitez pas à me contacter. Téléchargez mon dossier de presse numérique (EPK) et discutons-en. En raison du coût élevé des assurances, de ma situation financière précaire — je vis au seuil de pauvreté — et du fait que j'attends toujours l'approbation d'une pension d'invalidité (refusée à quatre reprises, malgré l'assistance d'un avocat), ma situation est complexe. J'ai récemment fait appel, une procédure qui pourrait prendre encore 6 à 8 mois avant d'aboutir. Il me faudrait une berline spacieuse, d'une valeur comprise entre 20 000 et 39 000 dollars. Ce véhicule est essentiel au développement de ma startup, ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC. Votre aide serait infiniment précieuse ; idéalement, j'aimerais pouvoir disposer de ce véhicule d'ici Thanksgiving ou le Black Friday. Je suis ravi d'avoir pu changer de téléphone, ce qui me permet de retourner au Barnes & Noble d'Elk Grove, en Californie — même si je déplore le manque de places de stationnement convenables. J'ai hâte de pouvoir à nouveau travailler sur mon ordinateur portable dans leur café. Je continuerai également à fréquenter les établissements Barnes & Noble de Roseville et de Folsom. Par ailleurs, je continuerai, comme toujours, à travailler depuis Temple Coffee. J'attends toujours avec impatience l'ouverture d'un véritable café Blue Bottle à Sacramento, en Californie. Par ailleurs, si vous gérez les réseaux sociaux du Barnes & Noble d'Elk Grove, merci de m'ajouter sur Instagram (nom d'utilisateur : IAMZAKI) afin que je puisse suivre vos publications. J'ai beaucoup de lectures en perspective, mais je n'ai malheureusement pas, pour l'instant, le budget nécessaire pour acheter des livres ou des magazines. Je compte toutefois y remédier dès que possible. J'ai perdu mon abonnement annuel à « The Economist » et cela m'a beaucoup peiné. Il m'arrive, très occasionnellement, d'acheter un numéro hebdomadaire. J'ai aussi très envie de m'offrir un café chez Starbucks.

Tech Tuesday: AI, French Tech and Election Day

Mardi, on célèbre les geeks : technologie, intelligence artificielle, French Tech et jour d’élection aux États-Unis.

Bonjour, everybody · Tech Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Since today is Tuesday, we’re celebrating all the geeks, nerds, otakus, intellos, and strebers out there powering through the week. Dive into the tech, AI, and curation links below, and keep an eye out later today for a brand-new episode of my French VLOG, Coffee with Zaki. Delayed episodes from previous weeks will also roll out as soon as I get a chance to catch up.

Midterms 2026 · Election Day

Today Is Election Day in the United States

Don’t forget that today is Midterms 2026 Election Day in the United States! Please make sure your voice is heard. My personal recommendation is to vote for the Democratic candidates; this is my own opinion, and I encourage you to research every candidate on your ballot. For more information and guidance, check out Our Revolution and the California Democrats.

I Need Your Help

I work hard to bring you this content, but working without a steady salary has become entirely unsustainable. My disability checks were denied a fourth time, even with a lawyer, which means my appeal will take 8 months for a new decision. I am drowning and need financial help after a decade of hard work and eight years without a steady salary from #BigTech or #Startups, which is why I created ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC.

I miss having money to eat out for lunch, and I need your help financially. If you value the work I do and want to help speed up new video releases, please consider supporting me with a donation at venmo.com/iamzaki. Thank you so much for your help and solidarity.

Lundi, grande sélection de lectures : élections américaines, affaires mondiales, technologie et science.

Bonjour, everybody · Major Content Curation Day

Happy Monday, everyone! Since it’s Monday, November 2nd, you know what that means: it’s Major Content Curation Day! We’ve got a massive lineup of stories today, spanning everything from world politics and tech shifts to scientific discoveries. Take your time digging through the links below.

And if you work in a hospital, you deserve your lunch break. Take it, eat something, sit down for a few minutes. Thank you for everything you do.

Midterms 2026 · Make Your Plan

Tomorrow Is Election Day

Most importantly, don’t forget that tomorrow is Midterms 2026 Election Day! No matter what you hear in the media, ignore the polls and make sure your voice is heard at the ballot box. I’ve already turned in my mail-in ballot early. If you’re looking for guidance, consider the candidates endorsed by Our Revolution or the California Democrats.

My personal vote: on my own ballot, I voted for Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang for Congress in California’s 7th District. I like that she is highly qualified and brings much-needed youth and fresh energy. This is my own opinion, and I encourage you to research every candidate on your ballot. Make your plan to vote tomorrow and help shape the future!

Help Me Keep the VLOGs Coming

Expect a brand-new episode of my VLOG Coffee with Zack in English later on! With all the commotion in the news, there is a lot to cover. If you enjoy this work, please consider a donation at venmo.com/iamzaki. It will help me post my delayed VLOGs and the new ones for this week. Thank you!

What I need right now: new earbuds for my phone, medical costs, lunch money, coffee money, gas money, and PS Plus for November, along with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Pragmata, Starfield, and GTA VI. As you know, I plan on livestreaming all these games for you as a #RazerCreator. I also need $205 to renew The Economist for a year. I have about 4,000 unique viewers on my website per month, so if each of you donates just $1, it can make a huge difference. I hope the Neurodivergent Community and the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Community are listening. I appreciate you. Thanks in advance.

Saturday Sports: Racing, Football and a Rare Halloween Saturday

Samedi, on célèbre le sport : sports mécaniques, football, rugby et bonne fête d’Halloween.

Bonjour, everybody · Happy Halloween

I hope everyone has an incredible Saturday, October 31st! Soak it in, because this marks the last time Halloween falls on a Saturday until 2037. It’s a rare calendar alignment, but as always, since I don’t have a monthly allowance (and it’s been that way since October 2024, two years ago), I’ll probably be staying indoors and playing some video games.

I would love to livestream something special for you guys and gals, and honestly, I’ve been itching to dive into Resident Evil 2 Remake. The catch is that it’s a brutally tough game, and living where I do, I just don’t have enough privacy to comfortably livestream a gory, M-rated title like that. Still, we’ll figure out something awesome to put on screen.

Beyond gaming, I am completely stoked for the massive Ohio State vs. USC rivalry game. You already know I’ll be glued to the television screen tracking every single play as the Buckeyes take on the Trojans. It’s going to be an absolute battle.

However you decide to celebrate the spooky weekend, make sure to kick back, catch the games, and enjoy a cold brewski on my behalf (consumed with moderation, of course, and assuming you’re over 21 years old). Have a great weekend, everyone!

And if you work in a hospital this weekend, you deserve your lunch break. Take it, eat something, sit down for a few minutes. Thank you for everything you do.

PS. I am entered for the two latest 80Eighty DCG contests! Let’s hope I win either the Audi R8 GT or the Porsche GT3! Wish me luck! I could use the money!

🎮 Gaming Friday: Halloween Weekend, Razer Haunt and Big Game Headlines 🎧

Vendredi, jeux vidéo : week-end d’Halloween, offre Razer et grandes nouvelles du jeu.

🎃 Bonjour, everybody · Happy Halloween Weekend

Happy Friday, everyone, and TGIF! 🎮 Welcome to Halloween 2026 weekend! As we head into a spooky couple of days, please celebrate, be merry, and above all, stay safe out there. If you’re heading out to festivities, keep safety top of mind: always line up a designated driver, buckle up, and if you plan on driving at all, stick to a 0.0% alcoholic beer so you can get home without issue.

For all the women heading out for the night, a quick practical tip: make sure to toss a high-capacity power bank into your purse. Keeping your phone charged is essential for booking a rideshare, calling a cab, or reaching out to friends when you need transport. I personally carry a large power bank from Mophie that has saved me countless times, so don’t leave home without yours!

And if you work in a hospital this weekend, you deserve your lunch break. Take it, eat something, sit down for a few minutes. Thank you for everything you do.

🎮 Gaming Friday · Razer Halloween Haunt

Score Some Monstrous Upgrades 💚

Halloween weekend is also the perfect time to celebrate the incredible world of video games. As a #RazerCreator, I’m hyped to share that Razer’s Halloween Haunt event is live!

Cyberpunk 2077 2.5, Mass Effect and 150+ Hours of N7 Content 🎮

On the streaming front, I’m hoping to go live this weekend with a look at the Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 patch, though my schedule might shift. Like so many of you in the Mass Effect online community, I’ve been processing the heavy news surrounding the cancellation of Mass Effect Universe (Mass Effect 5). I’ve added my name to the #SaveMassEffect petition, which has now crossed 200,000 signatures, demanding answers. To honor the franchise, I might stream the original Mass Effect instead. Between the Mass Effect Legendary Edition (ME1, ME2, ME3) and Mass Effect Andromeda, I still have over 150 hours of N7 content ready to share with y’all.

Stay safe, enjoy the spooky headlines above, and I can’t wait to jump into a stream with you all this weekend! 🎮🎧💚
