Bonjour et bon lundi! It's Monday, which means it's time for Major Content Curation — today's edition spans World Affairs, Diplomacy, Technology, Science, and Motorsport. Thank you, as always, for reading, watching, and listening.
🇫🇷 Proud to Pursue La French Tech San Francisco
I'm actively working toward joining La French Tech San Francisco, and I'm especially excited about the La French Tech NOVA program, which supports high-potential entrepreneurs from under-represented and minority backgrounds — entrepreneurs like myself — with mentoring, investor connections, and access to the broader French Tech network. Fingers crossed!

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Lundi 3 Août 2026
What's up, everybody! Today is Monday (Lundi), August (Août) 3, 2026. It's Monday, therefore it's time for Major Content Curation. Hope you are cheerful with these latest news.
There will be a new episode of my world-famous “Coffee with Zack” VLOG in English later this week — sorry for the delays, unexpected events. I will do my best to catch up when I can.
The Barnes & Noble Elk Grove bookstore grand opening is still slated for Fall 2026. It was supposed to be Summer but it got delayed — that means, at the very least, not until September 22, 2026 evening. That's unfortunate. Anyway, can't wait.
P.S. There are about 4 old VLOGs on “back-order” (traveling to the past) and 2 new VLOGs (traveling to the present and future) for this week, for a total of 6 new VLOGs total. I'm going to do my best to record some soon.
