The end of the rip-off economy [The Economist] I’m shopping for a new car, which I cannot afford, which is another ridiculous conundrum. I’m upset at the price of #GermanEngineering, because I consulted Grok and realized price of insurance, maintenance, and premium gasoline prices would not be self-sustainable. I’m considering a Tesla Model S, especially since I still don’t have a salary nor an allowance.

The International School of San Francisco est un établissement de référence de l’enseignement français à l’étranger. Son originalité réside dans son identité internationale et l’accueil d’étudiants du monde entier au cœur de San Francisco, derrière un projet où notre pays et notre langue ont une place essentielle mais non exclusive. Il promeut en cela un multilinguisme et un multi culturalisme qui sont au cœur de notre vision du monde et de nos valeurs. Et il fera bientôt peau neuve, dans le cadre d’une rénovation ambitieuse de tous ses espaces.
Merci à la proviseur Melinda Bihn et au proviseur adjoint Fabrice Urrizalqui de The International School of San Francisco d’avoir accueilli Marceau JUIN, Rouksana SIMJEE et Florian Cardinaux pour une visite et un échange riches. Nous avons beaucoup de choses à faire ensemble pour promouvoir la francophonie. Au travail!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, November 3rd, 2025. Hope you had a great weekend. There will be a new “Coffee with Zack” VLOG in English tonight. Please take a look at this FRONTLINE PBS documentary on the dangers of RFK Jr. and why we need a replacement immediately, because every Doctors know: #VaccinesSaveLives. With Winter coming, we must combat COVID-19, RSV, FLU, Norovirus for another season. Let’s explain to this moron that Doctors spent their whole lives studying, researching, and working, and don’t want to put up with his bullshit anymore. We have lives to save this Winter. For more info on the world of Medicine, visit zack.coffee on Thursdays.
