Microsoft says today’s Xbox shakeup doesn’t mean game studio layoffs The Verge

Feb. 20, 2026, 8:58 p.m.

Gaming Microsoft News

Xbox has new leaders today, now that Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond are out — and you’d be forgiven for assuming that means yet another round of layoffs and shuttered studios, especially one day after Sony jettisoned a beloved developer. Microsoft says today’s Xbox shakeup doesn’t mean game studio layoffs “there are no organizational changes underway for our studios.” “there are no organizational changes underway for our studios.” Not yet, it seems. “To be clear, there are no organizational changes underway for our studios,” Microsoft gaming boss Matt Booty wrote in his memo today. It’s a little buried under everything else Microsoft’s outgoing and incoming gaming CEOs are saying, so figure it’s worth dragging to the surface!

Ce mystérieux effet secondaire déclenché par l'Ozempic intrigue les médecins Slate

Feb. 20, 2026, 8:55 p.m.

Temps de lecture: 2 minutes - RepĂ©rĂ© sur Vox UtilisĂ©s en premier lieu pour le traitement du diabĂšte, les mĂ©dicaments de type GLP-1 sont dĂ©sormais devenus incontournables chez les patients cherchant Ă  perdre du poids. TrĂšs rĂ©pandus aux États-Unis, l'Ozempic et les autres mĂ©dicaments de ce genre ont des effets secondaires bien connus comme des nausĂ©es, la fatigue ou des troubles digestifs. Mais en plus de ces symptĂŽmes physiques, certains mĂ©decins remarquent un changement de l'Ă©tat psychologique de certains patients. Plusieurs utilisateurs dĂ©crivent une «apathie extrĂȘme»: pas de tristesse, pas d'enthousiasme. La psychologue Sera Lavelle parle d'une Ă©tincelle manquante: une perte d'intĂ©rĂȘt pour des activitĂ©s auparavant plaisantes, un manque de motivation ou une indiffĂ©rence face aux choses qui suscitaient avant de la joie ou de l'excitation. Ce phĂ©nomĂšne n'est pas une dĂ©pression classique –les patients ne se sentent pas «au fond du trou»– mais plutĂŽt une incapacitĂ© Ă  prendre du plaisir. Cette observation, dĂ©crite par Vox, n'est pas encore confirmĂ©e par de larges Ă©tudes cliniques, mais les chercheurs ont dĂ©jĂ  une thĂ©orie. Les GLP-1 modifieraient les circuits du cerveau liĂ©s Ă  la dopamine et Ă  la rĂ©compense, ne se contentant pas de simplement rĂ©guler l'appĂ©tit en jouant sur la sensation de satiĂ©tĂ©. Les mĂȘmes circuits impliquĂ©s dans l'envie de manger peuvent Ă©galement ĂȘtre utilisĂ©s pour la motivation sociale, pour donner de l'intĂ©rĂȘt aux projets personnels ou Ă©prouver du plaisir dans les relations humaines. Pour certains patients, surtout ceux souffrant de troubles alimentaires sĂ©vĂšres, cette diminution des signaux de rĂ©compense peut ĂȘtre bĂ©nĂ©fique. En effet, elle rĂ©duit le bruit mental autour de la nourriture et aide Ă  reprendre le contrĂŽle. Mais pour ceux sans problĂšme d'appĂ©tit, la molĂ©cule peut produire une impression de dĂ©tachement, comme si la vie perdait de l'intĂ©rĂȘt. Les chercheurs soulignent l'importance de diffĂ©rencier cet effet de la dĂ©pression car, dans les cas observĂ©s, il ne s'agit pas d'une perte de la volontĂ© d'exister, mais plutĂŽt d'un manque de ressenti envers des dĂ©sirs et des motivations, qui peuvent toucher aussi bien les envies alimentaires que d'autres formes d'engagement comme le jeu, les sorties, etc. Cette nuance est essentielle pour comprendre l'impact psychologique potentiel des GLP-1, surtout maintenant que leur usage se dĂ©mocratise. Le dĂ©bat scientifique reste ouvert. Certains experts voient dans cet effet secondaire une consĂ©quence possible de la modulation des circuits de rĂ©compense du cerveau, mais rappellent qu'il est trop tĂŽt pour en tirer des conclusions fermes sans de nouvelles recherches plus larges.

JO 2026 : le tableau des médailles de ce vendredi 20 février, la France éjectée du top 5 Le Parisien

Feb. 20, 2026, 8:52 p.m.

JO 2026 : le tableau des mĂ©dailles de ce vendredi 20 fĂ©vrier, la France Ă©jectĂ©e du top 5 À deux journĂ©es de la fin de ces Jeux olympiques d’hiver de Milan-Cortina, la dĂ©lĂ©gation française voit son objectif du top 5 s’éloigner. Et de 20 ! TroisiĂšme de la mass-start de vendredi, Quentin Fillon Maillet a dĂ©crochĂ© sa 4e mĂ©daille aux Jeux olympiques d’hiver 2026 et a, par la mĂȘme occasion, offert Ă  la dĂ©lĂ©gation française sa 20e breloque. En bronze, elle ne permet toutefois pas Ă  la France de grimper au tableau des mĂ©dailles. Les Bleus redescendent mĂȘme Ă  la 6e place, dĂ©passĂ©s par les Pays-Bas et l’Allemagne. Pour rappel, les mĂ©dailles d’or sont le principal indicateur pour classer les nations lors de ces Jeux olympiques. Avec 6 titres, la France est dĂ©sormais derriĂšre les NĂ©erlandais, qui en comptent une de plus grĂące au patinage de vitesse. Les Allemands comptent, eux, deux mĂ©dailles de bronze supplĂ©mentaires, ce qui leur permet de prendre la 5e place. Le tableau dĂ©finitif n’est toutefois pas encore connu puisqu’il reste deux journĂ©es d’épreuves. Et l’équipe de France a de bonnes chances d’aller chercher des mĂ©dailles d’or supplĂ©mentaires avec Emily Harrop et Thibault Anselmet dans le relais mixte de ski alpinisme et les biathlĂštes françaises lors de la mass-start. Les Bleus du ski cross pourraient Ă©galement se mĂȘler Ă  la bagarre pour la victoire ce samedi. Les objectifs affichĂ©s du comitĂ© olympique français sont le top 5 et un record de mĂ©dailles. Pour le deuxiĂšme, c’est dĂ©jĂ  accompli, avec cinq mĂ©dailles de plus qu’aux JO 2014 et 2018. Et les Bleus sont encore en course pour atteindre le premier.

Xbox shakeup: Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond are leaving Microsoft The Verge

Feb. 20, 2026, 8:52 p.m.

Business Gaming Microsoft

After nearly 40 years at Microsoft, Xbox chief and Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer is leaving the company, along with Xbox president Sarah Bond.

Microsoft gaming boss Phil Spencer has just announced he’s leaving the company after 12 years leading Xbox and nearly 40 at Microsoft in total. His replacement: Asha Sharma, formerly head of development for Microsoft’s AI enterprise teams. Before that, she was COO of Instacart for three years, and spent four at Meta in charge of the company’s messaging apps. Read new Microsoft gaming CEO Asha Sharma’s memo on the future of Xbox She’s promising “The return of Xbox.” She’s promising “The return of Xbox.” What will Sharma do with Xbox? Read for yourself in her first internal memo, which we’ve printed in full below. Sharma says she is committed to “the return of Xbox,” games in “new categories and markets where we can add real value, grounded in what players care about most,” and that games will “always will be art, crafted by humans” while promising not to “flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop.” However, she also says that “monetization and AI will evolve and influence this future,” and it sounds like Microsoft will still pursue Xbox Everywhere — she isn’t returning to the definition of Xbox as a physical box alone. While she does promise “a renewed commitment to Xbox starting with console,” she writes that Xbox will “expand across PC, mobile, and cloud” as well. Here’s the full memo: Dear team, Today I begin my role as CEO of Microsoft Gaming. I feel two things at once: humility and urgency. Humility because this team has built something extraordinary over decades. Urgency because gaming is in a period of rapid change, and we need to move with clarity and conviction. I am stepping into work shaped by generations of artists, engineers, designers, writers, musicians, operators and more who create worlds that have brought joy and deep personal meaning to hundreds of millions of players. The level of craft here is exceptional, and it is amplified by Xbox, which was founded in the belief that the power of games connect people and push the industry forward. Thank you to Phil for his leadership, and to every studio, platform, and operations team that built this foundation. We are stewards of some of the most loved stories and characters in entertainment and bring players and creators together around the fun and community of gaming in entirely new ways. My first job is simple: understand what makes this work and protect it.That starts with three commitments. First, great games. Everything begins here. We must have great games beloved by players before we do anything. Unforgettable characters, stories that make us feel, innovative game play, and creative excellence. We will empower our studios, invest in iconic franchises, and back bold new ideas. We will take risks. We will enter new categories and markets where we can add real value, grounded in what players care about most. I promoted Matt Booty in honor of this commitment. He understands the craft and the challenges of building great games, has led teams that deliver award-winning work, and has earned the trust of game developers across the industry.Second, the return of Xbox. We will recommit to our core Xbox fans and players, those who have invested with us for the past 25 years, and to the developers who build the expansive universes and experiences that are embraced by players across the world. We will celebrate our roots with a renewed commitment to Xbox starting with console which has shaped who we are. It connects us to the players and fans who invest in Xbox, and to the developers who build ambitious experiences for it. Gaming now lives across devices, not within the limits of any single piece of hardware. As we expand across PC, mobile, and cloud, Xbox should feel seamless, instant, and worthy of the communities we serve. We will break down barriers so developers can build once and reach players everywhere without compromise. Third, future of play. We are witnessing the reinvention of play. To meet the moment, we will invent new business models and new ways to play by leaning into what we already have: iconic teams, characters, and worlds that people love. But we will not treat those worlds as static IP to milk and monetize. We will build a shared platform and tools that empower developers and players to create and share their own stories. As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop. Games are and always will be art, crafted by humans, and created with the most innovative technology provided by us. The next 25 years belong to the teams who dare to build something surprising, something no one else is willing to try, and have the patience to see it through. We have done this before, and I am here to help us do it again. I want to return to the renegade spirit that built Xbox in the first place. It will require us to relentlessly question everything, revisit processes, protect what works, and be brave enough to change what does not. Thank you for welcoming me into this journey.

Asha Sharma, currently the president of CoreAI product at Microsoft, is stepping into the Microsoft Gaming CEO role, reporting directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Here’s Phil Spencer’s full memo on his retirement: When I walked through Microsoft’s doors as an intern in June of 1988, I could never have imagined the products I’d help build, the players and customers we’d serve, or the extraordinary teams I’d be lucky enough to join. It’s been an epic ride and truly the privilege of a lifetime. Last fall, I shared with Satya that I was thinking about stepping back and starting the next chapter of my life. From that moment, we aligned on approaching this transition with intention, ensuring stability, and strengthening the foundation we’ve built. Xbox has always been more than a business. It’s a vibrant community of players, creators, and teams who care deeply about what we build and how we build it. And it deserves a thoughtful, deliberate plan for the road ahead. Today marks an exciting new chapter for Microsoft Gaming as Asha Sharma steps into the role of CEO, and I want to be the first to welcome her to this incredible team.Working with her over the past several months has given me tremendous confidence. She brings genuine curiosity, clarity and a deep commitment to understanding players, creators, and the decisions that shape our future. We know this is an important moment for our fans, partners, and team, and we’re committed to getting it right. I’ll remain in an advisory role through the summer to support a smooth handoff. I’m also grateful for the strength of our studios organization. Matt Booty and our studios teams continue to build an incredible portfolio, and I have full confidence in the leadership and creative momentum across our global studios. I want to congratulate Matt on his promotion to EVP and Chief Content Officer. As part of this transition, Sarah Bond has decided to leave Microsoft to begin a new chapter. Sarah has been instrumental during a defining period for Xbox, shaping our platform strategy, expanding Game Pass and cloud gaming, supporting new hardware launches, and guiding some of the most significant moments in our history. I’m grateful for her partnership and the impact she’s had, and I wish her the very best in what comes next. Most of all, to everyone in Microsoft Gaming, I want to say “thank you”. I’ve learned so much from this team and community, grown alongside you, and been continually inspired by the creativity, courage, and care you bring to players, creators, and to one another every day. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together over the last 25 years, and I have complete confidence in all of you and in the opportunities ahead. I’ll be cheering you on in this next chapter as Xbox’s proudest fan and player.

Over 38 years at Microsoft, including 12 years leading Gaming, Phil helped transform what we do and how we do it.” Asha Sharma is taking over from Phil Spencer, as the new Microsoft Gaming CEO. Sharma is currently the president of CoreAI product at Microsoft, and has been working closely on Microsoft’s AI platform efforts since she rejoined Microsoft in 2024. Spencer will remain in an advisory role through the summer to support the transition. While Sharma isn’t a gamer like Spencer, she does have some consumer experience that could certainly help with leading a division as big as Microsoft Gaming. Sharma left a marketing role at Microsoft in 2013 and has worked at Meta as VP of product and engineering and Instacart as chief operating officer before heading back to Microsoft in 2024. Nadella says he’s “long on gaming and its role at the center of our consumer ambition,” and believes Sharma has “deep experience building and growing platforms, aligning business models to long-term value, and operating at global scale, which will be critical in leading our gaming business into its next era of growth.” Sharma now has a three commitments for the future of gaming at Microsoft: great games, the return of Xbox, and future of play. “We will recommit to our core Xbox fans and players, those who have invested with us for the past 25 years, and to the developers who build the expansive universes and experiences that are embraced by players across the world,” says Sharma in an internal memo. “We will celebrate our roots with a renewed commitment to Xbox starting with console which has shaped who we are.

Microsoft said in July that Spencer was “not retiring anytime soon.” ”Last fall, I shared with Satya that I was thinking about stepping back and starting the next chapter of my life,” says Spencer. “From that moment, we aligned on approaching this transition with intention, ensuring stability, and strengthening the foundation we’ve built.

Microsoft is also promoting Matt Booty to EVP and chief content officer, after previously being promoted to an expanded president of game content and studios position in 2023. “I read Phil’s note with much gratitude,” says Booty in an internal memo to Microsoft’s gaming employees. “He has been a steady champion for game creators and our studio teams, and I’ve learned so much from his leadership over the years. All our games have benefited from his foundational support.” You can read Phil Spencer’s full retirement memo here. Spencer has been at Microsoft since he first joined as an intern in 1988. In his early career at Microsoft he worked on Encarta, Microsoft Money, and Microsoft Works. Spencer joined the Xbox division in 2001, and became the general manager of Microsoft Studios in 2008. He then became the leader of the Xbox division in 2014, overseeing the launch of the Xbox Series X / S and Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass push. Spencer has also been at the center of Microsoft’s major gaming acquisitions, including Minecraft maker Mojang, Activision Blizzard, and ZeniMax Media. “When I walked through Microsoft’s doors as an intern in June of 1988, I could never have imagined the products I’d help build, the players and customers we’d serve, or the extraordinary teams I’d be lucky enough to join,” says Spencer. “It’s been an epic ride and truly the privilege of a lifetime.” Most Popular - The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about - A $10K+ bounty is waiting for anyone who can unplug Ring doorbells from Amazon’s cloud - Meta’s VR metaverse is ditching VR - Turtle Beach’s new PC controller with swiveling sticks is 30 percent off - GE Profile made a smaller version of its nugget ice maker that needs less counter space

Trump is making coal plants even dirtier as AI demands more energy The Verge

Feb. 20, 2026, 8:18 p.m.

The Trump administration just tossed out Biden-era restrictions on mercury and other toxic pollutants from power plants. It’s repealing Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) just as electricity demand in the US ticks up with the buildout of new AI data centers. Trump is making coal plants even dirtier as AI demands more energy The US is lowering its standards for power plant pollution while generative AI and the Trump administration revive old coal plants. The US is lowering its standards for power plant pollution while generative AI and the Trump administration revive old coal plants. Those standards are particularly impactful when it comes to pollution from coal plants responsible for around half of mercury emissions in the US. Mercury is a neurotoxin; high exposure has been linked to birth defects and learning disabilities in children. Exposure can also impact the kidneys and nervous system. Trump’s deregulation spree aims to make it easier to quickly construct new data centers and fossil fuel infrastructure to power them And yet the Trump administration is making power generation dirtier as the nation’s electricity needs grow with more data centers, domestic manufacturing, and electric vehicles. President Donald Trump’s deregulation spree aims to make it easier to quickly construct new data centers and fossil fuel infrastructure to power them — including coal plants. “The Trump administration is wiping out health protections critical for protecting children from toxins like mercury just to save the coal industry some money,” Nicholas Morales, an attorney with nonprofit environmental law group Earthjustice, said in a press release today. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized its repeal of Mercury and Air Toxics Standards that the Biden administration strengthened in 2024. The Trump administration is rolling the standards back to where they were in 2012 when the Obama administration initially instituted them. Weakening the regulations is supposed to save $78 million each year starting in 2028, according to an EPA fact sheet. Earlier this month, Trump accepted the Washington Coal Club’s inaugural “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful, Clean Coal” award. Power generation from coal has fallen sharply in the US as gas-fired power plants and renewables like solar and wind became more cost competitive. But since his second term in office, Trump has ordered at least eight coal plants slated to retire to stay online. Tech companies trying to scale up energy-hungry AI data centers are also extending the lifespans of aging power plants. Last week, the Tennessee Valley Authority — the largest public utility in the US — decided to keep two coal plant open instead of retiring them, citing growing power demand from data centers.

JO 2026 : une lame de patin dans l’Ɠil
 inquiĂ©tude aprĂšs l’horrible blessure de la Polonaise Kamila Sellier en short-track Victime d’une chute en quarts de finale du 1 500 m, l’athlĂšte de 25 ans a Ă©tĂ© gravement touchĂ©e au visage et a Ă©tĂ© Ă©vacuĂ©e sur civiĂšre aprĂšs une interruption de la course. Le short-track est un sport Ă  risques, et les Jeux olympiques d’hiver 2026 l’ont rappelĂ© ce vendredi soir. Alors que les quarts de finale du 1 500 m touchaient Ă  leur fin, une chute a causĂ© une terrible blessure Ă  la Polonaise Kamila Sellier. Alors qu’elle tombait au sol, l’athlĂšte de 25 ans a reçu une lame de patin dans l’Ɠil, ce qui a causĂ© un saignement immĂ©diat. Une trĂšs vilaine image qui a donnĂ© des sueurs froides aux spectateurs et tĂ©lĂ©spectateurs. La course a logiquement Ă©tĂ© interrompue. Alors que la Polonaise Ă©tait au sol dans un coin de la piste, les soigneurs se sont prĂ©cipitĂ©s sur la glace pour apporter les premiers soins. Un drap a Ă©tĂ© placĂ© pour Ă©viter aux spectateurs et aux concurrentes de voir les dĂ©gĂąts. La spĂ©cialiste de short-track serait, selon les commentateurs de France TĂ©lĂ©visions, sortie avec le pouce en l’air. On attend toutefois davantage de nouvelles sur son Ă©tat de santĂ©. Également touchĂ©e dans la chute et soignĂ©e, l’Italienne Arianna Fontana s’est malgrĂ© tout qualifiĂ©e pour les demi-finales une fois la course reprise. Une course terminĂ©e Ă  quatre concurrentes puisque l’AmĂ©ricaine Kristen Santos-Griswold, jugĂ©e comme coupable de cette chute, a Ă©tĂ© disqualifiĂ©e.

Campagne de haine contre Samuel Paty : dans un tĂ©moignage, Laurent Nuñez se dĂ©marque de l’accusation Le Parisien

Feb. 20, 2026, 8:17 p.m.

Campagne de haine contre Samuel Paty : dans un tĂ©moignage, Laurent Nuñez se dĂ©marque de l’accusation Le tĂ©moignage Ă©crit en tant qu’ancien coordinateur antiterroriste Ă  l’ÉlysĂ©e, de Laurent Nuñez, actuel ministre de l’IntĂ©rieur, a Ă©tĂ© lu ce vendredi devant la cour d’assises spĂ©ciales de Paris. Laurent Nuñez estime qu’une campagne de haine comme celle qui a visĂ© Samuel Paty ne l’exposait pas « nĂ©cessairement » au risque d’ĂȘtre assassinĂ©, selon un tĂ©moignage Ă©crit en tant qu’ancien coordinateur antiterroriste Ă  l’ÉlysĂ©e, lu vendredi et accueilli avec satisfaction par la dĂ©fense devant la cour d’assises spĂ©ciales de Paris. À une partie civile qui lui demande si « dĂ©signer publiquement et nominativement une personne comme ayant portĂ© atteinte au ProphĂšte ou Ă  l’islam » pouvait « objectivement l’exposer Ă  un danger grave pour sa sĂ©curitĂ© », l’actuel ministre de l’IntĂ©rieur Ă©crit : « Non, cela ne l’expose pas nĂ©cessairement Ă  un danger grave pour sa sĂ©curitĂ© ». Mes Vincent Brengarth et Colomba Grossi, deux avocats du militant islamiste Abdelhakim Sefrioui, avaient sollicitĂ© le tĂ©moignage de l’ancien coordinateur national du renseignement et de la lutte contre le terrorisme, qui a rĂ©pondu par Ă©crit Ă  leurs questions ainsi qu’à celles d’une partie civile. « Un fait majeur » Ce tĂ©moignage est « un fait majeur » pour la dĂ©fense, a commentĂ© Me Brengarth auprĂšs de l’AFP. Accueilli Ă  l’inverse par la consternation d’avocats des parties civiles, il apparaĂźt comme une pierre dans le jardin de l’accusation. Un lien « causal » entre, d’une part, la campagne de haine orchestrĂ©e par Abdelhakim Sefrioui et un pĂšre d’élĂšve, Brahim Chnina, et, de l’autre, l’assassinat du professeur le 16 octobre 2020, avait Ă©tĂ© dĂ©terminant dans la dĂ©cision de la cour d’assises de les condamner en premiĂšre instance Ă  15 et 13 ans de rĂ©clusion criminelle pour association de malfaiteurs terroriste. La premiĂšre cour d’assises avait considĂ©rĂ© qu’ils avaient lancĂ© une « vĂ©ritable fatwa numĂ©rique » et « prĂ©parĂ© les conditions » du crime « en livrant l’identitĂ© » de l’enseignant. Juste aprĂšs le dĂ©but procĂšs des attentats de 2015 Abdelhakim Sefrioui, aujourd’hui ĂągĂ© de 66 ans, et Brahim Chnina, 54 ans, ne connaissaient pas l’islamiste tchĂ©tchĂšne de 18 ans qui avait assassinĂ© l’enseignant. AprĂšs avoir dĂ©couvert cette controverse sur les rĂ©seaux sociaux, Abdoullakh Anzorov avait dĂ©capitĂ© l’enseignant pour avoir montrĂ© des caricatures du prophĂšte Mahomet lors d’un cours sur la libertĂ© d’expression dans son collĂšge du Bois d’Aulne Ă  Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines). Autre point abordĂ© dans le tĂ©moignage de Laurent Nuñez lu par la prĂ©sidente, le contexte de l’époque. Quelques semaines avant l’attaque s’était ouvert le procĂšs des attentats de janvier 2015 et Charlie Hebdo avait republiĂ© ses caricatures du ProphĂšte. Al-QaĂŻda avait de nouveau menacĂ© la France et une attaque djihadiste venait d’ĂȘtre commise devant les anciens locaux de l’hebdomadaire. Ce contexte ne rendait-il pas « particuliĂšrement dangereuse » une dĂ©signation d’une personne ayant portĂ© atteinte au ProphĂšte ? demande la partie civile. « La menace Ă©tait Ă  cette pĂ©riode particuliĂšrement Ă©levĂ©e mais elle l’est en permanence depuis ces quinze derniĂšres annĂ©es », rĂ©pond Laurent Nuñez. La dĂ©fense polĂ©mique de Sefrioui « Ce qui a créé le danger, ce n’est pas le contexte ou le ciblage public », « effectuĂ© par l’usage de canaux de communication qui Ă©taient fermĂ©s et donc inconnus des services spĂ©cialisĂ©s », Ă©crit encore Laurent Nuñez dans une dĂ©fense apparente du travail de renseignement de la police. Selon Me Brengarth, « les autoritĂ©s ne peuvent reprocher Ă  notre client ce qu’elles n’ont pas Ă©tĂ© en capacitĂ© d’anticiper et ce alors qu’elles connaissaient l’existence » de la campagne numĂ©rique. « Nous attendons de la cour qu’elle en tire toutes les consĂ©quences », a ajoutĂ© l’avocat. Depuis le dĂ©but du procĂšs en appel, la dĂ©fense d’Abdelhakim Serfoui avance sur deux jambes. Le premier axe est portĂ© par l’avocat Francis Vuillemin : il vise Ă  dĂ©montrer que Sefrioui Ă©tait sincĂšrement convaincu que le cours de Samuel Paty stigmatisait les Ă©lĂšves musulmans et que sa mobilisation Ă©tait dĂšs lors celle d’un militant de bonne foi. Plus strictement juridique, le deuxiĂšme axe est portĂ© par les autres avocats du prĂ©dicateur et s’emploie Ă  rĂ©pondre Ă  une question : peut-on ĂȘtre pĂ©nalement coupable d’association de malfaiteurs terroriste sans avoir conscience d’un projet d’attentat, sans avoir donc participĂ© Ă  des actes prĂ©paratoires et sans avoir le moindre lien avec son auteur ? Deux proches d’Anzorov sont Ă©galement rejugĂ©s aux cĂŽtĂ©s d’Abdelhakim Sefrioui et Brahim Chnina. Ils avaient Ă©tĂ© condamnĂ©s en premiĂšre instance Ă  seize ans de rĂ©clusion pour complicitĂ© d’assassinat. Le verdict est attendu le 28 fĂ©vrier.

ArrivĂ©e du quintĂ© : 9 - 6 - 12 - 14 - 8 Deux jours avant le Prix de Paris (Gr.

DisputĂ©e sur le parcours des 2 100 m de la grande piste avec un dĂ©part donnĂ© Ă  l’aide de l’autostart, cette Ă©preuve a souri Ă  Jazz de Padd (n° 9). MalgrĂ© sa position tout Ă  l’extĂ©rieur en premiĂšre ligne, le hongre de 7 ans a pu se rabattre au commandement avant d’aborder la montĂ©e. EscortĂ© par son compagnon d’écurie, Jazz d’Ourville (n° 13), qui a faibli dans la phase finale, il a ainsi Ă©tĂ© bien aidĂ© pour repousser les attaques entamĂ©es avant le dernier tournant. Toujours en tĂȘte au dĂ©but de la ligne droite, il a failli se faire ajuster par Icare Dungy (n° 6) et Jumby Bay (n° 12), tous les deux auteurs de trĂšs belles fins de course, mais a Ă©tĂ© « sauvĂ© » par le poteau. « Il s’est bien Ă©lancĂ©, mais il a fallu faire un effort pour prendre la tĂȘte : il a donc mĂ©ritĂ© sa victoire, a commentĂ© Matthieu Abrivard, entraĂźneur et driver du laurĂ©at.

Gianni Infantino au Conseil de la paix : le ComitĂ© international olympique n’était « pas au courant » de la prĂ©sence du patron de la Fifa Le Parisien

Gianni Infantino au Conseil de la paix : le ComitĂ© international olympique n’était « pas au courant » de la prĂ©sence du patron de la Fifa La prĂ©sidente du CIO, Kirsty Coventry, a indiquĂ© ce vendredi 20 fĂ©vrier, qu’elle n’était pas au courant de la prĂ©sence du patron de la Fifa au Conseil de la paix. « Je n’étais pas au courant qu’un de nos membres du CIO Ă©tait au premier plan (
) Maintenant que vous nous en avez informĂ©s, nous allons bien sĂ»r rentrer et regarder ça », a dĂ©clarĂ© la Kirsty Coventry Ă  Milan aux Jeux d’hiver aprĂšs la convocation de Gianni Infantino au Conseil de la paix par Donald Trump. InvitĂ© jeudi lors de la rĂ©union inaugurale du « Conseil de paix », destinĂ© Ă  reconstruire la bande de Gaza ravagĂ©e par deux ans de guerre, Infantino a arborĂ© avec un large sourire une casquette rouge floquĂ©e « USA » et « 45-47 », dĂ©signant les deux mandats de Donald Trump. Infantino et Trump, un duo complice « La Charte olympique est trĂšs claire sur ce qu’elle attend de ses membres », a ajoutĂ© Mme Coventry. Le serment prononcĂ© par la centaine de membres du CIO, dont fait partie le prĂ©sident de la Fifa, leur impose d’agir « indĂ©pendamment des intĂ©rĂȘts commerciaux et politiques », une obligation reprise par la Charte olympique. InterrogĂ©e sur l’éventualitĂ© que le CIO se joigne Ă  une initiative telle que le Conseil de paix, elle a rĂ©pondu que l’instance olympique continuerait « Ă  ĂȘtre politiquement neutre ». Gianni Infantino et Donald Trump affichent leur complicitĂ© depuis janvier 2025 et le retour au pouvoir du prĂ©sident amĂ©ricain, qui a reçu en dĂ©cembre un « Prix de la Paix de la Fifa » nouvellement créé, et dont les critĂšres comme la procĂ©dure d’attribution demeurent obscurs.

Web scraper sued by Google claims Google is the one scraping the web The Verge

SerpApi, a company that offers tools to scrape content on the web, is fighting back against Google’s copyright lawsuit that accuses it of vacuuming up search results “at an astonishing scale.” In a motion to dismiss filed on Friday, SerpApi argues that Google doesn’t hold a copyright on its search results, alleging that the engine is built “on the backs of others who posted ‘the world’s information.’” Web scraper sued by Google claims Google is the one scraping the web SerpApi claims it’s just doing ‘what Google does to everyone else.” SerpApi claims it’s just doing ‘what Google does to everyone else.” In December, Google sued SerpApi, claiming the smaller scraper had violated the Copyright Act by using “deceptive means” to access and scrape its search results. Google also alleges that SerpApi found a way to bypass its anti-scraping SearchGuard feature. But SerpApi’s motion to dismiss argues that Google is “the largest scraper on the planet,” and that SerpApi is just doing “what Google does to everyone else:” Just like Google — but at a much smaller scale — SerpApi uses ‘automated means’ to scrape public websites, which it then synthesizes and makes available to its own customers in ways it believes they will find relevant and useful. This, of course, is exactly what Google does. SerpApi alleges that Google “does not claim ownership” over its search results, and that “the information it scrapes from public websites is not protected by copyright access controls.” The company also claims that it did not violate the Copyright Act by circumventing SearchGuard, because the tool is allegedly only designed to protect Google’s business — not licensed content.

Elle a signĂ© son Ɠuvre 15 siĂšcles avant HomĂšre. Pourquoi personne ne connaĂźt Enheduanna ? Futura-science

Feb. 20, 2026, 8:01 p.m.

histoire Antiquité Egalité des genres

Longtemps Ă©clipsĂ©e par les figures canoniques de la tradition occidentale, Enheduanna est pourtant la premiĂšre autrice connue de l'histoire. Il y a plus de 4 000 ans, en MĂ©sopotamie, cette grande prĂȘtresse a signĂ© ses textes, mĂȘlant poĂ©sie, pouvoir et spiritualitĂ©, et laissĂ© une Ɠuvre fondatrice. Quand on se demande qui fut le premier Ă©crivain de l'histoire, on pense souvent Ă  HomĂšre. L'image du poĂšte aveugle de la GrĂšce antique occupe le sommet du panthĂ©on de la tradition littĂ©raire occidentale. Mais en rĂ©alitĂ©, il faut remonter bien plus loin, au-delĂ  de la GrĂšce, au-delĂ  mĂȘme de l'alphabet, et tourner notre regard vers le berceau de l'Ă©criture : l'ancienne MĂ©sopotamie. LĂ , il y a plus de 4 000 ans, une femme a signĂ© son Ɠuvre de son propre nom : Enheduanna. Qui Ă©tait Enheduanna ? Enheduanna a vĂ©cu aux alentours de 2300 avant notre Ăšre, dans la citĂ© d'Ur, dans l'actuel sud de l'Irak. Sa figure se distingue Ă  plusieurs titres : elle fut grande prĂȘtresse du dieu lunaire Nanna, une fonction qui lui confĂ©rait un pouvoir politique et religieux considĂ©rable. Elle Ă©tait Ă©galement la fille du roi Sargon d'Akkad, fondateur du premier empire mĂ©sopotamien, et surtout l'autrice d'une Ɠuvre littĂ©raire d'une grande profondeur thĂ©ologique, politique et poĂ©tique. « Enheduanna » n'Ă©tait pas son nom personnel, mais un titre religieux que l'on peut traduire par « grande prĂȘtresse, parure du ciel ». Son vĂ©ritable nom demeure inconnu. Ce qui ne fait en revanche aucun doute, c'est son importance historique : Enheduanna a Ă©crit, signĂ© ses textes et revendiquĂ© leur paternitĂ© intellectuelle, ce qui fait d'elle la premiĂšre personne connue, homme ou femme, Ă  avoir laissĂ© une Ɠuvre littĂ©raire en son nom propre. Sur ce disque d’albĂątre, dĂ©couvert Ă  Ur, on peut voir Enheduanna, grande prĂȘtresse du dieu Nanna. Description du bas-relief : scĂšne rituelle, un prĂȘtre fait une libation devant un autel Ă  quatre Ă©tages (Ă  gauche), accompagnĂ© de trois personnes, dont la prĂȘtresse Enheduanna en posture de priĂšre (3e personne en venant de la droite). Mefman00, CC BY 4.0, Wikimedia Commons, Penn Museum, Philadelphie, États-Unis Écriture, pouvoir et spiritualitĂ© L'Ă©criture cunĂ©iforme existait dĂ©jĂ  depuis le milieu du IVe millĂ©naire avant notre Ăšre. Elle Ă©tait nĂ©e comme un outil administratif, utile pour tenir des registres Ă©conomiques, contrĂŽler les impĂŽts ou compter le bĂ©tail. Mais, Ă  l'Ă©poque d'Enheduanna, on commençait Ă©galement Ă  l'utiliser pour exprimer des idĂ©es religieuses, philosophiques et esthĂ©tiques. C'Ă©tait un art sacrĂ©, associĂ© Ă  la dĂ©esse Nisaba, patronne des scribes, des cĂ©rĂ©ales et du savoir. Dans ce contexte, la figure de cette autrice est particuliĂšrement rĂ©vĂ©latrice. Son Ɠuvre associe une profonde dĂ©votion religieuse Ă  un message politique explicite. Sa poĂ©sie s'inscrit dans une stratĂ©gie impĂ©riale : lĂ©gitimer la domination d'Akkad sur les citĂ©s sumĂ©riennes par l'usage d'un langage commun, d'une foi partagĂ©e et d'un discours thĂ©ologique unifiĂ©. Une Ɠuvre majeure Plusieurs compositions d'Enheduanna nous sont parvenues. Parmi les plus importantes figure L'Exaltation d'Inanna, un long hymne qui cĂ©lĂšbre la dĂ©esse de l'amour et de la guerre, Inanna, et dans lequel l'autrice implore son aide durant une pĂ©riode d'exil. Ce texte est souvent considĂ©rĂ© comme son Ɠuvre la plus personnelle et la plus puissante. On conserve Ă©galement les Hymnes des temples, un ensemble de quarante-deux hymnes dĂ©diĂ©s Ă  diffĂ©rents temples et divinitĂ©s de Sumer. À travers eux, Enheduanna compose une vĂ©ritable cartographie spirituelle du territoire, mettant en valeur le lien Ă©troit entre religion et pouvoir politique. S'y ajoutent enfin d'autres hymnes fragmentaires, dont l'un est consacrĂ© Ă  son dieu Nanna. Ces exemples ne sont pas de simples textes religieux : ils sont construits avec une grande sophistication, chargĂ©s de symbolisme, d'Ă©motion et d'une vĂ©ritable vision politique. Enheduanna y apparaĂźt comme une mĂ©diatrice entre les dieux et les humains, entre son pĂšre, l'empereur, et les citĂ©s conquises. Pourquoi ne la connaissons-nous pas ? Il est surprenant qu'Enheduanna soit absente des manuels scolaires et de la plupart des cursus universitaires de littĂ©rature. En dehors des spĂ©cialistes de l'histoire ancienne ou des Ă©tudes de genre, son nom reste largement mĂ©connu. Tablette, copie de l’hymne Inanna B/Ninmesharra - L’Exaltation d’Inanna, attribuĂ© Ă  Enheduanna. © Masha Stoyanova, Wikimedia Commons, CC0, Penn Museum, Philadelphie, États-Unis Il est lĂ©gitime de se demander si l'oubli d'Enheduanna relĂšve d'une invisibilisation systĂ©mique des femmes dans l'histoire culturelle. Comme le souligne l’historienne de l’art Ana Valtierra Lacalle, pendant des siĂšcles, la prĂ©sence de femmes scribes ou artistes dans l'AntiquitĂ© a Ă©tĂ© niĂ©e, malgrĂ© des preuves archĂ©ologiques attestant qu'elles savaient lire, Ă©crire et administrer des ressources. Enheduanna ne fut pas une exception isolĂ©e : son existence montre que les femmes ont participĂ© activement au dĂ©veloppement de la civilisation mĂ©sopotamienne, aussi bien dans la sphĂšre religieuse qu'intellectuelle. Le fait qu'elle soit la premiĂšre personne connue Ă  avoir signĂ© un texte de son propre nom devrait lui offrir une place de choix dans l'histoire de l'humanitĂ©. La premiĂšre personne connue Ă  avoir signĂ© un texte de son propre nom devrait lui offrir une place de choix dans l’histoire de l’humanitĂ© Elle ne reprĂ©sente pas seulement un moment fondateur de l'histoire littĂ©raire : elle incarne aussi, avec une force rare, la capacitĂ© des femmes Ă  crĂ©er, penser et exercer une autoritĂ© dĂšs l'aube de la culture Ă©crite. Sa voix, gravĂ©e sur des tablettes d'argile, nous parvient intacte Ă  travers les millĂ©naires. Avec elle, l'histoire ne commence pas uniquement par des mots, mais par une voix singuliĂšre, une expĂ©rience vĂ©cue et une conscience aiguĂ« du geste d'Ă©crire - autant d'Ă©lĂ©ments qui mĂ©ritent pleinement d'ĂȘtre reconnus. On conserve Ă©galement les Hymnes des temples, un ensemble de quarante-deux hymnes dĂ©diĂ©s Ă  diffĂ©rents temples et divinitĂ©s de Sumer.

If the PlayStation 5 is your console of choice — and you’re not satisfied with the DualSense gamepad it comes with — the DualSense Edge may be what you’re looking for. Luckily, if its high asking price of $199 was keeping you away, Sony is now offering the white and black controller via the PlayStation Direct storefront in refurbished condition for $169 ($30 off). It comes with the same one-year warranty as a new unit, though it may exhibit minor cosmetic imperfections.

It comes with a one-year warranty, although it might have minor cosmetic imperfections. Sony DualSense Edge Sony’s pro-style controller, the DualSense Edge, might suffer from shorter battery life than the standard DualSense model, but it features great software integration with the PlayStation 5 and plenty of customizable components. The DualSense Edge is significantly more customizable than Sony’s pack-in controller, with toggleable control schemes you can switch without leaving your game, mappable rear paddles, and swappable joysticks in case one breaks. On its back, there are switches that let you adjust the stopping point of its triggers, allowing either a full pull or a short and clicky feel. It’s also easy to tweak the joysticks’ deadzone and sensitivity levels. In addition to being a great pairing with the PS5, the DualSense Edge is also compatible with Windows. Several PC games published by PlayStation Studios feature support for some of the controller’s unique features, too. The wireless controller’s only significant downside is that it’s limited to eight hours of battery life, which is a couple of hours shorter than Sony’s standard DualSense gamepad. It shouldn’t be an issue if you remember to charge the controller every few days, though.

La chute de Grindr: comment l'application est devenue victime de sa propre rentabilité Slate

Feb. 20, 2026, 7:55 p.m.

Temps de lecture: 2 minutes - RepĂ©rĂ© sur Vox Si Grindr n'est pas encore mort, le rĂ©seau de rencontres pour hommes LGBTQ ou bicurieux n'est plus que l'ombre de lui-mĂȘme. Cela fait quelques annĂ©es que les habituĂ©s de l'application s'en plaignent: version gratuite quasiment inutilisable, augmentation des prix et des encarts publicitaires, on est bien loin aujourd'hui de la plateforme des dĂ©buts. L'application, créée en 2009 pour proposer des rencontres simples et directes, a aujourd'hui placĂ© la rentabilitĂ© avant tout le reste. Depuis son entrĂ©e en bourse en 2022, Grindr doit composer avec la pression du marchĂ©. La rentabilitĂ© prime dĂ©sormais sur l'expĂ©rience client et nombreux sont les utilisateurs Ă  Ă©voquer l'«enshittification» de la plateforme, autrement dit sa «merdification», une lente dĂ©tĂ©rioration d'un service au profit de la monĂ©tisation. Un problĂšme profond D'aprĂšs Vox, le problĂšme n'est plus seulement technique mais est aussi devenu culturel. Grindr avait une fonction presque communautaire en permettant aux homosexuels de se rencontrer, y compris dans des pays hostiles aux personnes LGBTQ ou dans des rĂ©gions isolĂ©es. Aujourd'hui, une partie des utilisateurs se tourne vers de nouvelles plateformes plus directes. Le mĂ©dia cite par exemple Sniffies, orientĂ©e plus ouvertement sur des rencontres directes et sexuelles. En parallĂšle, l'avĂšnement des rĂ©seaux sociaux –Instagram, X ou Telegram– propose des terrains alternatifs de sociabilitĂ© queer. L'Ă©cosystĂšme numĂ©rique s'est fragmentĂ© et Grindr n'est plus la porte d'entrĂ©e unique vers la communautĂ©. Pour autant, l'application conserve une force de base: sa communautĂ© d'utilisateurs est massive et mondiale. Hors des grandes villes, ou pour les personnes qui se questionnent sur leur sexualitĂ© et veulent explorer un peu, Grindr reste souvent le premier choix, Ă  l'instar de Tinder. Son rĂŽle historique continue de compter et ses quinze annĂ©es de domination dans le domaine la rendent intouchable. La direction de Grindr a quand mĂȘme senti le vent tourner et tente de redĂ©finir son image. La plateforme se prĂ©sente de plus en plus comme un «quartier numĂ©rique gay», un espace social Ă©largi plutĂŽt qu'une simple application de rencontre.

America is at risk of becoming an automotive backwater The Verge

Feb. 20, 2026, 7:52 p.m.

Cars Climate Electric Cars

For decades, America’s auto industry was the envy of the world, driven by mass production, the rise of Detroit’s Big Three automakers, and the iconic stylings of the 1950s and ’60s. America is at risk of becoming an automotive backwater Detroit badly bungled the EV transition. Then Trump wiped out emission rules. Detroit badly bungled the EV transition. Then Trump wiped out emission rules. Then, through a series of blunders and missteps, things started to unravel. There was the fuel crisis of the 1970s, which led to an influx of Japanese imports that bested Detroit in fuel savings and reliability. And then there were various global financial collapses throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, and a significant decline in automotive quality as the Big Three continued to push bigger and more expensive vehicles, at the expense of road safety and global competitiveness. And then there was, for lack of a better term, the great EV whiff of the 2010s and 2020s. After sleeping on electric vehicles for too long, the Big Three finally got in the game — but they botched it, rolling out a series of electric versions of gas cars that lacked the finesse or gee-whiz software tricks of Tesla. They were also too expensive for most Americans. And now the real financial fallout begins. Ford announced a $19.5 billion write-down on its EV investments — one of the largest in corporate history. On the same day, the Blue Oval said it was killing the F-150 Lightning, a vehicle once heralded as the return of the Model T. General Motors came next, with a $7.6 billion charge. And then Stellantis, with a colossal $26.6 billion hit on its EV investments. Cumulatively, that’s over $50 billion gone. Poof. How did the US get EVs so wrong? The lazy answer is that Americans just don’t want them, preferring to keep pumping dead dinosaur sludge into their lifted Ford F-150s and not have to deal with all that charging. But the real reason is that Detroit never took the challenge seriously, while dealers actively worked against the transition, worried about losses in service and repair. And then President Donald Trump turned EVs politically toxic, and here we are. Americans are now falling behind in what may be one of the most significant technological shifts since the first car rolled off the assembly line. Cumulatively, that’s over $50 billion gone. Poof As such, Trump seems happy to accelerate the auto industry’s rush toward irrelevance. Along with Congressional Republicans, Trump eliminated the $7,500 EV tax credit, right when the market was finding its footing. GM’s EV sales dropped 43 percent in the quarter right after the tax credit ended. The Trump administration has also rolled back emissions regulations that were designed to push automakers to build more EVs and challenged California’s authority to set its own pollution limits. And then, earlier this month, the real kill shot: Trump’s EPA rescinded the landmark “endangerment finding” that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health — the foundation of the agency’s vehicle-pollution rules first adopted in 2010. Automakers will no longer face fines for exceeding fuel emissions standards, nor will they have to buy pricey climate credits from Tesla and other EV makers. They have free rein to pollute. “The US no longer has emissions standards of any meaning,” Margo Oge, who served as the EPA’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups, told The New York Times. “Nothing. Zero. Not many countries have zero.” There are other ways of looking at this. Without emissions standards or the endangerment finding looming over them, automakers will have some “breathing room” to continue to churn out big, gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs that help pay the bills, while also hopefully continuing to fund R&D efforts to design better, more efficient, and most importantly profitable electric vehicles, said Ivan Drury, director of insights at Edmunds. “Hopefully, they’ve learned their lesson and don’t allow this breathing room to be their gas chamber,” he added. “Hopefully, they’ve learned their lesson and don’t allow this breathing room to be their gas chamber.” — Ivan Drury, director of insights at EdmundsAs the US backslides, the rest of the world is already transitioning to electric power. In 2025, people bought a record 20.7 million EVs worldwide, up from just three million in 2020. In a number of nations, EVs represent a significant portion of overall auto sales: 20 percent in South Korea; 50 percent in China; 68 percent in Denmark; 65 percent in Sweden; and 96 percent in Norway. In the US, EV sales were roughly 10 percent. How’d they do it? Sustained investment in battery technology, charging infrastructure, and affordable models. That’s it, really. China is estimated to have spent between $150 billion and $250 billion on EV development, raw materials, and everything else, and now the country’s auto industry is on the cusp of taking over the world. Well, the world minus the US, where tariffs and restrictions on Chinese software have kept BYD, Xiaomi, and others from coming in and decimating the Big Three. Just as the pendulum has swung against EVs, it could certainly swing back. California is challenging the move by Congressional Republicans to revoke its waiver to enact its own emissions regulations. If it wins, automakers could find themselves stuck between the pro-EV California and the anti-EV Washington. This will likely force automakers to continue to develop multiple powertrains — ICE, hybrid, EV — for longer than they would have preferred, said Ed Kim, president and chief analyst at AutoPacific. If Ford, GM, and Stellantis want to continue to compete globally — hell, if they want to continue to survive, and not get completely taken out by China — they will need to ignore the regulatory impulse to abandon EVs altogether and keep trying to crack the code. Ford says it’s committed. Mary Barra at GM too. Stellantis is in a tougher spot, but has yet to completely throw in the towel. European, Japanese, and Korean automakers will have a role to play too. The EV transition isn’t defeated. It’s winning all across the globe, just not in America. Not yet.

« ÉpidĂ©mie d’homosexualité » : l’Arcom se penche sur le podcast masculiniste « 10 000 pas » du « Raptor » Le Parisien

« ÉpidĂ©mie d’homosexualitĂ© » : l’Arcom se penche sur le podcast masculiniste « 10 000 pas » du « Raptor » Pour la premiĂšre fois, face aux propos misogynes, homophobes et islamophobes du « Raptor », l’Arcom a jugĂ© recevable une saisine sur un podcast. L’épisode dure prĂšs de deux heures et demie. C’est le premier de la quatriĂšme saison du podcast « 10 000 pas » et les propos laissent pantois : « Les petits puceaux de merde qui m’expliquent qu’il ne faut pas ĂȘtre misogyne, c’est des salopes », « le monde souffre d’une Ă©pidĂ©mie d’homosexualitĂ© », « une partie de la communautĂ© musulmane a mutĂ© en mafia »  Plus de six mois aprĂšs la publication de cet Ă©pisode, l’Arcom, autoritĂ© française de rĂ©gulation de la communication audiovisuelle et numĂ©rique, a finalement jugĂ© recevable une requĂȘte sur cet Ă©pisode et a annoncĂ© l’instruire, selon une information du journal le Monde. Pour l’instant, l’épisode est toujours disponible sur les plates-formes musicales. Seulement sur Spotify, plus 100 000 personnes ont ainsi Ă©coutĂ© les propos masculinistes et potentiellement punissables par la loi du « Raptor », de son vrai nom IsmaĂŻl Ouslimani. Vers le retrait ? C’est la premiĂšre fois que l’Arcom juge recevable une saisine sur un podcast — l’autoritĂ© statue habituellement sur les radios et les tĂ©lĂ©visions, notamment en pĂ©riode Ă©lectorale. Sa marge de manƓuvre dans ce cas tient au texte europĂ©en Digital Services Act (DSA), qui oblige les plates-formes comme Deezer, Apple Music ou Spotify Ă  modĂ©rer les contenus qu’elles diffusent. Ces gĂ©ants musicaux doivent en effet permettent aux utilisateurs de signaler au mieux les contenus jugĂ©s problĂ©matiques et les supprimer s’ils tombent sous le coup de la loi. Le podcast du « Raptor » pourrait donc bien se voir retirer de ces plates-formes, mĂȘme si la procĂ©dure s’annonce longue du cĂŽtĂ© de l’autoritĂ© de rĂ©gulation des mĂ©dias. Le « Raptor », Ă©galement connu sous le nom « Raptor dissident », est un proche du militant d’extrĂȘme droite Papacito et s’est dĂ©jĂ  dĂ©clarĂ© proche des idĂ©es du candidat Ă  l’élection prĂ©sidentielle de 2022 Éric Zemmour. « Je ne crois pas en la dĂ©mocratie, ça me dĂ©goĂ»te », avait dit IsmaĂŻl Ouslimani aprĂšs sa dĂ©faite Ă©lectorale.

Le principal agresseur de Jérémie Cohen, mort percuté par un tramway à Bobigny, condamné à 10 ans de prison Le Parisien

Feb. 20, 2026, 7:52 p.m.

Le principal agresseur de JĂ©rĂ©mie Cohen, mort percutĂ© par un tramway Ă  Bobigny, condamnĂ© Ă  10 ans de prison Miguel D., l’homme qui a portĂ© des coups Ă  la victime quelques secondes avant que cette derniĂšre, dans sa fuite, ne soit renversĂ©e par le T1, a Ă©tĂ© reconnu coupable ce vendredi soir de violences en rĂ©union ayant entraĂźnĂ© la mort sans intention de la donner. La dĂ©cision est tombĂ©e ce vendredi soir, au terme de plusieurs heures de dĂ©libĂ©rĂ© et quatre ans aprĂšs le dĂ©cĂšs tragique de JĂ©rĂ©mie Cohen. La cour criminelle dĂ©partementale de Seine-Saint-Denis a condamnĂ© Miguel D. Ă  10 ans de rĂ©clusion et Kenny A. Ă  30 mois de prison dont la moitiĂ© avec sursis. Tous deux ont Ă©tĂ© reconnus coupables de violences en rĂ©union, avec pour le premier la circonstance aggravante qu’elles ont entraĂźnĂ© la mort sans intention de la donner. Ils Ă©taient jugĂ©s pour avoir agressĂ© la victime qui, dans sa fuite, avait Ă©tĂ© mortellement percutĂ©e par un tramway Ă  Bobigny, le 16 fĂ©vrier 2022. Pour rendre leur dĂ©cision, les cinq magistrats devaient rĂ©pondre Ă  plusieurs questions dĂ©terminantes. Les deux accusĂ©s sont-ils coupables de violences ? La rĂ©ponse Ă©tait Ă©vidente, Kenny A. et Miguel D. ayant tous deux reconnu les coups portĂ©s. Pour Miguel D., ces violences ont-elles causĂ© la mort de JĂ©rĂ©mie Cohen ?

Health anti-vaccine Bhattacharya

Jay Bhattacharya, the director of the National Institutes of Health, is now also the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an unusual arrangement that has drawn swift criticism from researchers and public health experts. Bhattacharya’s new role comes amid a leadership shakeup in the Department of Health and Human Services under anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It also marks the third leader for the beleaguered public health agency under Kennedy. Susan Monarez, a microbiologist and long-time federal health official, held the position of acting director before becoming the first Senate-confirmed CDC director at the end of July. But she was in the role just shy of a month before Kennedy ousted her for—according to Monarez—refusing to rubber-stamp changes to vaccine recommendations made by Kennedy’s hand-picked advisors, who are overwhelmingly anti-vaccine themselves. Jim O’Neill was then named acting director. At the time, O’Neill was the deputy secretary of HHS but had previously worked as a Silicon Valley investor and entrepreneur who became a close ally of Peter Thiel. As acting director of the CDC, he signed off on a dramatic overhaul of the CDC’s childhood vaccine recommendations. Now, amid Kennedy’s shake-up, O’Neill is out of the CDC and, according to media reports, will be nominated to run the National Science Foundation, which is currently without a director or deputy director. As a health economist with a medical degree, Bhattacharya has more qualifications to temporarily run the CDC than O’Neill, but researchers and public health experts were quick to blast his apparent lack of leadership skills. Under Bhattacharya’s watch, the NIH terminated or froze hundreds of millions of dollars for research grants, including $561 million in grants to research the four leading causes of death in America, according to a Senate report released earlier this month. At least 304 clinical trials were defunded. Of the NIH’s 27 institutes and centers, 16 are currently without directors, an unprecedented number of vacancies.
