Ladies and gentlemen: France's most respectable center-right magazine! If you want to hear a breakdown of the various villains and perverts that dominate French media check out my guest spot on @royalpalacepod.bsky.social (also listen to the WWII ones while you're at it)

the idea that these tech guys are opposed to "government waste" is so completely fucking ridiculous. they feast on government waste. DOD budgets are a bloated mess. the pentagon has failed 7 straight audits. the big beneficiaries are tech companies providing defense services.

I'm concerned that as a Pocast About Europe we're going to have to talk about the German election at some point soon. Would really rather not think about what's going on over there

We talk tech again in our latest episode on Canal+'s lawsuit against DNS providers royalpalacemedia.com/illegal-stre...

We're back for our first episode of the New Year, a continuation of our series on Minitel, the French precursor to the Internet royalpalacemedia.com/minitel-part...

Meanwhile, France's New Popular Front is dead in the water - murdered by the ever-so-predictable 'Socialists' ...

Yesterday the Socialist Party broke with the rest of the New Popular Front and refused to vote for the motion of censure against Bayrou's new government. Several Insoumise MPs have said they no longer consider the PS a member of the NFP

Everyone is talking about "AI slop" when they should be talking about the Royal Palace Podcast

France: motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Michel Barnier (LR-EPP) Majority: 288 Votes in favour of the motion: 331 Barnier lost the National Assembly’s confidence and president Macron (RE-RE) will have to nominate a new Prime Minister. The social security budget bill is also rejected.

Less than two hours ago, the French National Assembly passed a motion of no-confidence against the right-wing Barnier Government. royalpalacemedia.com/special-coll...

The Barnier Government has fallen following a vote of no-confidence introduced by the New Popular Front. Stay tuned for our analysis on the Royal Palace Podcast.

It now seems certain that the French government will fall today by 8:00 PM Paris time
