Clashes broke out in Paris, France, late Saturday after demonstrations over the high cost of living and the country's education system earlier in the day remained largely peaceful.
Paris had prepared for unrest, with shops boarded up and events including those related to the NFL's first French football game canceled, but authorities described the atmosphere in the city as "calm."
As the evening went on, clashes were reported between police and demonstrators, the Agence France-Presse reported. Police used batons and tear gas, and officials said a water cannon was also used. Some protesters threw projectiles at police.

Is MiniMax already pushing its way into the top tier of Flash models?
this is f*cking unreal. same prompt, two models - and a rhino came up out of a persian rug.
Gemini 4 Argon vs Opus 5.5. no edits, no cherry-picking. top is Gemini, bottom is Opus.
same words, two completely different beasts. one rose wrapped in glowing armor - ornate, radiant, built like a myth. the other came up as a real rhino with a single horn burning like a blade. one went for spectacle. one went for restraint. neither is wrong, and that’s exactly what makes it a hard call.
I’m not picking a side on this one. that part’s on you.
which rhino goes in the trailer - Gemini’s or Opus’s? drop your pick below, and tell me why.
I run one of these every week
