Saturday (Samedi) July (Juillet) 25, 2026

Currently writing, working, coding, listening to music, and investigating the conspiracy that won’t let me obtain a new vehicle. It appears that it involves a global gambling mafia regarding German Car Brands and JDM Car Brands as to who will remain the winner. This has become extremely aggravating because I just need one car for the time being. I cannot afford a garage full of vehicles like TYRESE.

En ce moment, j'écris, je travaille, je code, j'écoute de la musique et j'enquête sur le complot qui m'empêche d'acquérir un nouveau véhicule. Il semblerait qu'une mafia mondiale des paris soit impliquée, opposant les marques automobiles allemandes aux marques japonaises (JDM) pour déterminer laquelle l'emportera. La situation est devenue extrêmement frustrante, car je n'ai besoin que d'une seule voiture pour l'instant ; je n'ai pas les moyens de posséder un garage rempli de véhicules comme Tyrese.

Ich schreibe, arbeite, programmiere und höre gerade Musik, während ich der Verschwörung auf den Grund gehe, die mich daran hindert, ein neues Auto zu bekommen. Es hat den Anschein, als stecke eine globale Glücksspielmafia dahinter – ein Machtkampf zwischen deutschen und japanischen Automarken (JDM) um die Vorherrschaft. Das Ganze ist extrem nervig, denn ich brauche vorerst nur ein einziges Auto. Ich kann es mir schließlich nicht leisten, eine ganze Garage voller Fahrzeuge zu haben wie Tyrese.

今は執筆や仕事、コーディング、音楽鑑賞をしながら、私が新しい車を手に入れるのを阻んでいる陰謀について調べています。どうやら、ドイツ車ブランドとJDM（日本国内市場向け）ブランドのどちらが勝者となるかを巡る、世界的なギャンブル・マフィアの暗躍が絡んでいるようです。当面は車が1台あれば十分なのに、こうした事態には本当に苛立たされます。タイリース（Tyrese）のようにガレージを車でいっぱいにできるほどの余裕は、私にはありませんから。

Ima wa shippitsu ya shigoto, kōdingu, ongaku kanshō o shinagara, watashi ga atarashī kuruma o te ni ireru no o habande iru inbō ni tsuite shirabete imasu. Dōyara, Doitsu-sha burando to JDM (nipponkokunai ichiba-muke) burando no dochiraga shōsha to naru ka o meguru, sekai-tekina gyanburu Mafia no an'yaku ga karande iru yōdesu. Tōmen wa kuruma ga 1-dai areba jūbun'nanoni, kōshita jitai ni wa hontōni iradata sa remasu. Tairīsu (Tyrese) no yō ni garēji o kuruma de ippai ni dekiru hodo no yoyū wa, watashiniha arimasenkara.

🎮 What I've Been Playing

I've been playing a lot of The Crew: Motorfest on PS5 lately — I love that racing game, and it's keeping me occupied until Forza Horizon 6 makes its way to PlayStation (it's currently Xbox Series X/S and PC only). I've done 25 livestream videos of Motorfest so far and I'm hoping to do more soon. It's also been a little while, so I need to jump back into Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty — playing it in Japanese audio with English subtitles.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. Don't forget to finish your homework — the new semester will be here before you know it. And I've been adoring the real-life adaptation of GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka on Netflix lately — thank you so much for putting it up there.

🎗️ Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome & HSD Awareness

The Ehlers-Danlos Society

Listening Labs: The Lived Experience

For many people living with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), diagnosis is only the beginning — the harder part is navigating care, being heard, finding support, and accessing joined-up services. The Ehlers-Danlos Society is inviting its community to take part in a series of Listening Labs as part of developing a new Model of Care for EDS and HSD. These structured virtual sessions offer a chance to share real experiences of seeking care — especially in primary care, where most journeys begin — helping identify what isn't working and what better care should look like.

🚴 The Tour de France as a Grounding Tool for Bipolar Disorder

Watching an elite three-week cycling grand tour isn't a medical treatment for bipolar disorder, but the experience of following the 2026 Tour de France can offer some real psychological benefits for mood stability and daily structure.

1. Daily Structure and Circadian Anchoring

• Bipolar disorder is closely tied to disruptions in circadian rhythm and daily routine, so a predictable schedule matters for mood stability.
• The Tour's 21 stages over roughly three weeks give viewers a fixed, comforting daily appointment — whether it's live coverage or catching up on highlights.
• Pairing race-watching with a steady habit, like lunch at the same time or gentle stretching, reinforces daily rhythm.

2. Low-Stakes Engagement & Emotional Regulation

• Grand tour cycling blends slow tactical buildup with short bursts of intensity, offering mental stimulation without real-world stakes or anxiety.
• The long broadcast hours, scenic countryside, and steady commentary can provide a soothing ambiance on lower-energy days.

3. Vicarious Motivation

• Watching riders push through difficult stages and recover afterward can echo the endurance and pacing that managing bipolar disorder often requires.
• Seeing cyclists out on the open road can be a gentle, low-pressure nudge to move your own body — light activity is well documented to support mood alongside clinical care.

A gentle note on pacing: if late-night viewing starts interfering with sleep, recorded highlights are a better option — consistent sleep remains essential for mood regulation. And this kind of sports-watching works best as a complement to established clinical care (medication, therapy, routine tracking), not a replacement for it.

🎵 Road Trip Music Therapy

A long drive with a great soundtrack can become more than just background noise — applying therapeutic music principles turns a road trip into an accessible space for emotional regulation and mental reset.

Why the Road Trip Works

• Music directly influences heart rate, breathing, and stress hormones — faster tempos boost alertness, while slower, fluid rhythms ease tension.
• Anticipating a musical drop or key change releases dopamine, helping counter highway fatigue.
• Instrumental, rhythmic, or ambient genres offer just enough stimulation to stay engaged without overloading focus.

Matching the Iso-Principle to Your Drive

Trip Phase	Emotional Goal	Ideal Genres
Departure / Highway Entry	Transition out of daily stress	Deep / Progressive House, Synthwave
Peak Scenery / Daytime	High energy, elevation, joy	Drum & Bass, Uplifting Trance, Indie Rock
Mid-Day Slump	Mental fatigue reset, alertness	Funk, Disco, High-BPM Electronic
Sunset / Dusk	Reflection, emotional processing	Lofi Beats, Chillhop, Ambient / Acoustic

Singing or tapping along engages the body and can snap you out of "highway hypnosis," while passive, mindful listening to instrumental tracks lets your mind unwind. One safety note worth keeping in mind: music should support focus, not distract from it — save the more complex or intense tracks for straightforward highway stretches rather than dense city traffic.

🎮 Video Game Therapy: Apex Legends × Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Video games have shed a lot of their old stigma in recent years, and modern psychology increasingly views interactive media as a legitimate tool for processing stress. Unlike passive media, games grant direct agency — entering a state of "flow," where skill matches challenge, lets the brain disengage from real-world anxiety through structured problem-solving. Narrative-driven titles also offer a safe space to process heavy themes like grief and burnout, while multiplayer games can function as digital "third places" that ease isolation.

The Crossover Event

After years of fan requests, the "Night City Legends" crossover between Apex Legends and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners arrived as a limited-time event running July 14 – August 4, 2026. Existing Apex characters received high-tier skins modeled on the Edgerunners trio — Sparrow as David, Axle as Lucy, and Rampart as Rebecca — alongside additional Cyberpunk universe skins. The featured mode, Wildcard: Night City E-District, introduces Cyberware mechanics like the Sandevistan dash and Blackwall Breach, plus a "Cyberpsychosis" risk-reward mechanic. Skippy, Cyberpunk's talking smart pistol, returns as a Mythic weapon skin with its original voice lines.

Edgerunners leaned hard into themes of burnout and personal sacrifice, and its finale left many fans describing a genuine "Post-Edgerunners Depression" — the show's bittersweet ending was a real emotional gut-punch for its audience. That's part of why this crossover resonated so strongly: it reunites David, Lucy, and Rebecca in a non-canonical, victorious setting, giving fans a way to enjoy the trio together without the weight of their canon fates.

👨‍👩‍👧 A Family Note on Daycare Hygiene

I'm hearing more and more difficult stories about infants and toddlers getting sick at daycare, and I really think it's important for daycare facilities to take this seriously so kids aren't constantly falling ill. These illnesses can end up disrupting events that matter deeply to families — my own niece has been under the weather, and if she doesn't recover in time, she won't be in an upcoming major family photo, which has been upsetting for me and for my parents as grandparents.

If you run or work at a daycare: please make sure facilities are properly cleaned and that hygiene standards are maintained consistently. It matters more than people realize. Thank you.

🇫🇷 La French Tech San Francisco — as a Franco-American founder building a bilingual media and technology company, joining the La French Tech SF community remains a top goal. Today's Music Wednesday carries that spirit into the world of electronic music.

What's up, everybody! It's Wednesday (Mercredi), July (Juillet) 22, 2026. Today we celebrate the world of Music! I've just released JETLAG RADIO 4900 v1 — more versions are coming. C'est mercredi!

▶ Stream JETLAG RADIO 4900 on Spotify

💬 A Personal Note From Zack

I also recently watched We Are Your Friends with Zac Efron, and it hit me hard — the film used a few tracks from the first 10–20 episodes of JETLAG RADIO, recorded well over ten years ago. I couldn't afford to buy it digitally, so I put $5 from a Google Play gift card toward renting it and watched it twice. It's been a genuinely difficult stretch financially — I haven't had my usual $800/month allowance since October 2024, and I haven't drawn a salary paycheck since July 2019. I'm managing Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which brings a lot of fatigue, and Bipolar Disorder — though I'm grateful to say I've been stable for over a decade thanks to nightly medication and regular therapist visits.

The DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll has reopened for 2026/2027, and I'd be so grateful for your vote — please vote under my legal name, Zaki Qayoumi (I go by "Zack," but that's the name that needs to appear on the ballot). I consider myself one of the pioneers who helped bring electronic dance music to the Midwest, starting in Columbus, Ohio back in 2003 and spreading it throughout the U.S. — passing out flyers, bringing guestlist crowds to the club, writing my weekly TECHNO CLUBBERS newsletter on Facebook. I did that work unpaid, for free drinks, because I believed in the scene.

These days it feels like every DJ out there is on Zoom or FaceTime with other artists, building together. I don't want to keep working in isolation. Right now, about all I can afford is a coffee shop visit once a week and boba once a month — but I'd love nothing more than to collaborate: in the studio with Ferry Corsten, Tiësto, Nicky Romero, Afrojack, Hardwell, Dannic, Dyro, Martin Garrix, Madeon, Justice, Daft Punk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Charlotte de Witte, Swedish House Mafia, Max Vangeli, AN21 — the list goes on.

The wishlist: a W Hotels penthouse residency in San Francisco where I could live and DJ on weekends · an Audi ABT RS7 or Nissan Nismo Skyline GT-R, both in gunmetal silver · a renewed Crunchyroll subscription for a proper GUNDAM marathon · a flight to Amsterdam for ADE 2026 this October (any KLM folks reading this, I see you). If any of this is within your means to help with, my Venmo is @iamzaki. Thank you for reading this far, and for over a decade of support.

🔥 Thinking of France This Summer

I'm very sad about the amount of forest fires in France right now, and I'm hoping for a resolution soon. It's summer, and unfortunately rain — and September, October, and November — feel very far away. Our best wishes go out to the firefighters working to bring these fires under control.

📺 French TV on Netflix: Keep It Coming!

There are some great series on Netflix lately — I'm especially excited about the real-life adaptations of GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka), BANDI, and GIGN. It's always a joy to see French television reach a global audience on Netflix, and I really appreciate when they invest in it. Please, Netflix, keep bringing us French shows and movies — it means a lot. Merci!

💔 Third-Place Heartbreak: France 4–6 England

Alas, France lost to England in the chaotic third-place playoff at FIFA World Cup 2026. I'm very disappointed — a terrible first half, followed by second-half mistakes, cost us the match 4–6. A total disaster. Still, huge respect to the team for the run this tournament, and hats off to Mbappé for taking the Golden Boot lead despite the result.

🚙 Car Talk: The Nissan Altima Question

I couldn't watch livestreams on Friday because I sat inside a Nissan Altima to show it some support — Nissan nearly pulled the sedan from the North American market, and I wanted to see it firsthand. I'm actually considering one, though lumbar support isn't standard; it's a premium add-on, which matters a lot if you're planning long drives in comfort.

If you're spending $30K+ on a new sedan, it needs to be comfortable. My take: the touchscreen-heavy interior on the new Hyundai Sonata is distracting for daily driving, which makes the Altima the safer, more focused choice between the two — staying focused on the road matters.

Of course, in a perfect world I'd be looking at an Audi A4/A5/A6/A7/A8 or S4/S5/S6/S7/S8 — the RS3, RS5, RS6 Avant, and RS7 are dream cars well outside my budget for now. And I certainly wouldn't say no to a BMW M5 Touring either.

2026 Global Learning Conference: Connecting the Stripes

July 24–26, 2026 · Dallas, Texas (USA) and Online

The Ehlers-Danlos Society is hosting its 2026 Global Learning Conference, a hybrid event for individuals and families impacted by EDS and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), as well as healthcare professionals and caregivers. Sessions take place at the Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Allen at the Event Center in Allen, TX, with a full livestream for virtual attendees worldwide.

Recognizing that travel can be difficult for some members of the global community, the conference offers flexible registration so people can attend in person or virtually and still access every session, workshop, and networking opportunity through the event app, Whova.

⚽ World Cup Season & Bipolar Disorder: Watching Safely

With the World Cup in full swing, it's worth talking about how tournament fever can affect people living with bipolar disorder. Intense anticipation, late-night matches, and emotional highs and lows can be genuine mood triggers — even though sports fandom can also boost social connection and wellbeing when managed thoughtfully.

1. Protect Your Sleep Routine

• Bipolar disorder is closely tied to sleep regularity, and even one disrupted night can contribute to a mood episode.
• If a match airs in the middle of the night, consider recording it or watching highlights the next day instead of staying up.
• Try to keep consistent sleep and wake times rather than letting tournament "social jet lag" take over.

2. Manage Excitement and Emotional Extremes

• High-stakes matches raise heart rate, adrenaline, and dopamine — intense excitement can build quickly.
• If energy, racing thoughts, or a sense of grandiosity start to spike, it can help to step away from the screen for a bit.
• Framing the game as entertainment rather than a life-or-death outcome can soften the emotional swing of a loss.

3. Plan Your Viewing Environment

• Loud, crowded, high-tension watch parties can add stress on top of the game itself.
• Watching with trusted friends or family can offer grounding and positive connection.
• Going easy on caffeine and alcohol is worth considering, since both are commonly cited mood triggers.

4. Stay Prepared

• Staying consistent with prescribed medications, regardless of match schedule, remains important.
• Keeping an eye on early warning signs — reduced need for sleep, racing thoughts, appetite changes — helps catch shifts early.

If symptoms start to feel like they're intensifying, reaching out to a healthcare provider is the right next step. This is a sensitive topic, and if you're personally navigating something like this, I'm glad to help point you toward general resources — just ask.

🎵 AI-Assisted Music Therapy

AI-assisted music therapy is an emerging space blending clinical mental health practice with generative music models. These tools analyze physiological and emotional signals to build personalized, adaptive soundscapes in real time — a non-pharmacological approach aimed at supporting mood regulation, easing anxiety, and encouraging emotional expression without requiring musical training.

Where the Field Is Headed

• Adaptive soundscapes: Research prototypes use real-time biometric signals like EEG data alongside emotion recognition to feed generative models, so the AI composes music that mirrors or gently shifts a listener's emotional state.
• Inclusive songwriting: Some therapeutic systems, co-designed by therapists and researchers, help individuals — including Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing patients — compose original lyrics and melodies with an AI acting as a conversational, visual-metaphor-driven collaborator.
• Personalized composition: Organizations like Songs of Love use patient intake details (hobbies, pet names, family) to prompt generative AI and produce custom songs for children and individuals with cognitive impairments.
• Improvisation & flow: Generative adversarial networks trained on therapeutic MIDI datasets can support natural, in-the-moment musical improvisation between therapists and clients.

🎮 Videogame Therapy: The Crew Motorfest as a Decompression Tool

Over on the Reddit r/The_Crew community, plenty of players describe cruising through The Crew franchise as a genuinely relaxing, low-stakes escape — turning down in-game noise, putting on a favorite playlist, and exploring the open world at their own pace.

Why It Works

• Low-stakes exploration: The scaled-down O'ahu and Maui settings in Motorfest offer gorgeous tropical environments built for relaxed, pressure-free "zen" driving.
• Escapism: Immersing yourself in a vivid environment offers a mental break that can help interrupt anxious thought cycles.
• Cathartic venting: Consequence-free, more aggressive driving can serve as a healthy outlet for pent-up stress.

Tips to Maximize the Relaxation

• Turn down the game's dialogue and let your own playlist run in the background.
• Take advantage of DualSense haptic feedback or wheel support for a more immersive, grounding feel.
• Hide the HUD and map to focus purely on the road and scenery.

As a PS5 livestreamer myself, I can vouch for the appeal of a low-stakes cruise — it's a nice change of pace from competitive play.

Coup de Coeur: Electronic Music, Global Sound & a New Chapter for AI-Assisted Composition

Allez les Bleus 🇫🇷 — DJ culture, festival season, and the future of music production

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 · Mercredi 15 Juillet 2026

Written by Zaki Qayoumi ("Zack") — Founder, CEO, Senior Project Manager, Director, President & Editor-in-Chief of ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, a bilingual independent media & technology company covering Technology, World Affairs, Affaires Étrangères, Electronic Music, and Diplomacy.

Design & production assisted by Claude AI

Bonjour tout le monde! It's a big day on the site — I'm officially announcing a new set of original tracks, produced with the help of Google Gemini AI Pro. Some critics dismiss AI-assisted music, but I see it differently: this is a tool, not a replacement, and it's only going to get more powerful from here. C'est un grand jour pour moi — je publie officiellement de la nouvelle musique, avec l'aide de l'IA. L'avenir de la production musicale est en train de s'écrire, et je veux en faire partie.

🎧 New Music Drop: 10 Original Tracks

Ten new tracks are now live, composed with an assist from Google Gemini AI Pro. I've said before that AI production will eventually live natively inside DAWs — imagine typing a mood, a lyric, an instrument choice, and hearing it instantly. My biggest inspiration for where this genre can go is still Jean-Michel Jarre.
