Paris 2024 Olympics edition + Bonus reading
The JO have exceeded my (low, I admit) expectations. It's all (touch wood for the last few days) gone off splendidly. I agree about the dark side (good piece in The Guardian on that by Rokhaya Diallo) but, overall, the country seems more united in joy and enchantment and pride (Le roi Léon!) than I've ever known it. It feels good after all the angst and strife we've had to live through these past few years and, especially, the past few months.
