Résumé Complet

Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Point Clé

A simple question on X about enjoying the Christmas season sparked dozens of positive replies from Jewish users, who praised its twinkling lights, festive music, and communal joy without embracing its religious core.

A post on February 9 dismissed video game manuals as unimportant back in the day, but it unleashed waves of nostalgia with users sharing stories of reading them at restaurants, studying lore from Diablo or Age of Empires II, and cherishing inserts like cloth maps from Ultima IV. Even Doom designer Sandy Petersen joined in, lamenting his witty manuals with a crying emoji. The exchange reveals a divide between those who miss the paper hype-builders and others who see digital PDFs as sufficient amid shrinking budgets and slim packaging.

Point Clé

Picture ripping open a new game on the car ride home, flipping through colorful manuals like a treasured comic book. That's the thrill dozens of gamers recalled after one skeptical post questioned their importance.

Résumé Complet

Noni Madueke, the 23-year-old Londoner Arsenal signed from Chelsea last July for £52m, has impressed with 2 goals and 1 assist in 17 Premier League starts this season, including 4 goal contributions in his last few games. The bold claim comparing him favorably to Mahrez—who boasts 82 Premier League goals, five titles, AFCON success, and a treble—drew fierce pushback from City and Leicester fans listing his honors. Chelsea supporters joined the banter, noting Madueke was theirs first, while Arsenal's side sees echoes of Mahrez's flair in his pace as they top the table chasing a quadruple.

Point Clé

An Arsenal supporter posted side-by-side photos of Noni Madueke in Arsenal kit next to Riyad Mahrez in City blue, declaring 'Madueke >> Mahrez.' Replies erupted into a storm of rival loyalties and trophy tallies.

Résumé Complet

The Bank of Botswana launched the commemorative note last year for its 50th anniversary, featuring 22-year-old Tebogo's 200m gold from the 2024 Paris Olympics and the relay team's silver—Botswana's first Olympic medals. That inspired South Africans to call for a limited R100 note honoring DJ Black Coffee, the Grammy-winning house music star who's elevated the nation's sound globally through Coachella sets and philanthropy. While supporters praise his cultural impact, critics argue athletes like Springboks captain Siya Kolisi better represent national glory on currency currently featuring Nelson Mandela.

Point Clé

Botswana put Olympic gold medalist Letsile Tebogo's face on its 50 Pula note, turning everyday cash into a daily dose of national pride for kids and fans alike.

Résumé Complet

Gabon's communication authority indefinitely suspended major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and WhatsApp on Tuesday, amid teacher strikes and protests over living costs following a 2023 coup. In contrast, Kenya's National Assembly rejected a petition to ban TikTok, opting instead for stricter age checks, privacy safeguards, and data localization within four months to shield minors from explicit content and bullying. Lawmakers like Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah stressed that platforms empower youth and create jobs, favoring regulation over suppression as African nations balance digital growth with social protection.

Point Clé

While Gabon pulls the plug on Facebook, TikTok, and others to curb misinformation and unrest, Kenya's lawmakers draw a firm line: no bans, just smarter rules to protect kids and data.

Résumé Complet

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring early with a header from Martinelli's lay-off, and Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 soon after halftime, but Hugo Bueno pulled one back and debutant Tom Edozie leveled in the 90+4th minute via Riccardo Calafiori's own goal. Martinelli assisted the opener and had chances, yet drew ire for heavy touches, poor passes, and no further impact, with fans calling his play stagnant and lacking killer instinct. The draw cuts Arsenal's lead over Manchester City to five points ahead of the North London derby, as Declan Rice showed his fury by ripping off his shirt at full time.

Point Clé

Arsenal raced to a 2-0 lead at Molineux, only for a second-half meltdown to hand Wolves a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time. Fans turned their frustration squarely on Gabriel Martinelli's shaky display.

Shares jumped from 1.3 pence to over 2.15 pence, lifting the market cap past £6 million, as investors noted the low valuation and upside from fluorspar and gallium.

Résumé Complet

Ivory Coast, producing 40% of the world's cocoa, set its 2025/26 farmgate price at 2,800 CFA francs per kilogram in October, but global futures have crashed to around $3,500 per ton. Exporters offer just 1,500-1,800 CFA francs—deals banned by regulators—leaving cooperatives like Sekou Dagnogo's owing farmers money in places like Duekoue. Farmer Frederic Kouassi Kouassi in Remikro says some take low offers out of desperation, while the Coffee and Cocoa Council buys back stocks to prevent waste; neighboring Ghana cut prices 28% to align with markets and boost sales.

Point Clé

In Ivory Coast, warehouses are stacked to the ceiling with cocoa beans that risk spoiling, as exporters balk at the government's fixed price for farmers.
