What’s up, everybody! It’s Tuesday, February 17, 2026. Shout-out to Geeks, Nerds, Otakus, including Intellos and Strebers! There will be a new Coffee With Zaki VLOG in French, by tonight, hopefully! Thank you to Rep AOC for mentioning the Genocide in Gaza during her trip to Munich, Germany! We must make sure Genocide never takes place again, and it is taking place in Gaza, and in Sudan, meaning Israel completely missed the point! Also, YouTube is down today, it’s insulting. Happy Lunar Year of the Horse to everybody who celebrates. Happy Holy Month of Ramadan to all those who celebrate.
