Meurtre de Lyhanna : un rapport d’inspection détaillait dès 2022 les manquements que Darmanin feint de découvrir. Les défaillances des enquêtes sur la pédocriminalité sont documentées depuis des années dans un rapport confidentiel que révèle Mediapart.

Many, myself included, initially failed to appreciate goose 🪿.
At first, it felt like another @jack passion project being built with company resources. Jack didn’t help that perception by describing it as "giving back to the open-source community". That made it sound more like a charity project than a serious business initiative.
But forcing employees to adopt Goose early -- and giving them reps before the tools were fully mature -- created invisible benefits that were impossible to measure at the time.
Now those benefits are starting to show up: higher velocity, better execution, and higher-quality output.
The common complaint was that employees were being force-fed Goose and AI before the tools were ready. That criticism was fair. The tools weren’t ready.
But Block chose to endure the awkward phase early.
Now that the tools are becoming ready (🪿 is pretty good too), the entire organization is already flying with them, while companies that waited for AI to be "ready" are only just getting started.
Block undoubtedly is one of the most "AI-fluent" companies in the S&P 500.
That should eventually translate into earnings -- and then into the stock price.

10,000 wands in the initial drop
Sold out on day one. 10000 customers will be using this product now around the US starting conversations about Cash App
A genius way to engage customers
Marketing brilliance 👏
You can tap the star-shaped, NFC-enabled wand at terminals to make contactless payments. It's the first of several tap-to-pay hardware doodads coming from Cash App. https://t.co/uvAmTT3nhZ
This is very smart.
The charm isn't really about payments, it's about identity.
A few things it does well:
- Makes a boring fintech product visible. Cards live in wallets, this hangs on bags, keys, purses, etc.
- Taps into existing consumer trends (Rhode lip gloss case, Labubu, Stanley cups, bag charms, personalization).
- Adds whimsy to a category that’s spent years competing on features and fees.
- Creates organic distribution. Every “what’s that?” conversation becomes a Cash App referral.
- Gives users a way to signal belonging and participation in the brand.
TLDR: Fintech brands will have to compete on culture soon to keep up. The real winners will be the ones who create products that double as social signals/identity.
