From Cartier's golden gift to American astronauts to Madonna's breast-baring Gaultier dress: Comité Colbert's new exhibit celebrates France's friendship with the US
Kremlin:
The good, warm, and very cultured Europe still exists.
But it is under enormous pressure from a new generation of politicians.

holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer
- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded
- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit
- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max
- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges
