📰 Major Content Curation Monday · Lundi de la Grande Curation

The World This Week

Monday (Lundi) September (Septembre) 28, 2026 · ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC

What's up, everybody!

It's Monday (Lundi) September (Septembre) 28, 2026. It's Major Content Curation Monday!

A note from Zack: Apologies for the inconvenience. I haven't had my $800/month allowance since October 2024, when I got separated and eventually divorced from my ex-wife. That means I'm missing about $20,000. Without it, it's impossible to pay for gas, pay for food, pay for memberships, and eventually buy that new car. Therefore it's been difficult.

My daily reports are very important, and lots of people read them. Unfortunately, without donations, my hands are tied. Thankfully, this won't affect most other reports later in the week, since the majority of those don't require online memberships from the websites that I select. I'm sorry guys/gals, I am doing my best with what I have.

For example, right now I have a $25 VISA gift card. I'm so embarrassed by it. I'm not sure what to buy with it, since that's all I will have for a while. Maybe I will keep it to pay for parking downtown. I haven't walked in Downtown Sacramento in forever. I miss it so much. I want to go to Brasserie Capital, the French Bar/Restaurant. All I could afford is probably 1 drink, since the food is too expensive for my wallet (it's a Five Star Restaurant), but maybe I can speak French to the Chef and maybe he'll be willing to help me with something.

Disability checks are still not approved; I have to wait another month for a decision. America is cruel, and it's likely that I have to move back to France temporarily to earn some FINANCIAL & HEALTHCARE respect. I thank you for your attention.

La French Tech San Francisco

I want to join La French Tech San Francisco! As a native French speaker and bilingual EN/FR founder here in Northern California, the French Tech community in the Bay Area feels like home.

I am very excited about the La French Tech NOVA program, the national programme dedicated to accelerating start-ups led by entrepreneurs from under-represented backgrounds — minority entrepreneurs such as myself. Très enthousiaste à l'idée de French Tech Nova ! 🇫🇷

From the French Tech SF community: Last Thursday, September 24 (6–9 PM), French Tech SF hosted a rare conversation with Thierry Cruanes, Co-Founder of Snowflake, moderated by Sunil Chhaya, at Snowflake's SVAI Hub in Menlo Park. #FrenchTechSF #Snowflake #SiliconValley

Zack's note: I don't have my new car yet, nor gas money, nor a debit card with money on it to pay for parking and food, therefore I couldn't come.

Not Covered This Week · Sans abonnement

No coverage from these publications this week due to no membership/subscription. The Economist alone is very expensive, so unless I have an allowance of $800/month again, which I haven't had in almost 2 years since October 2024, it is unlikely. I am very sorry. I explained to y'all that I absolutely needed donations to my Venmo or my Twitter. Now you understand.
