Didier Maïsto accused Emmanuel Macron of having confined a generation for months, closed high schools, and isolated teenagers, while he was going to the theater with his wife. He believed that these measures had contributed to the distress of young people and criticized the fact that their anger was treated as a public order issue. To support his statements, Maïsto cited figures he attributed to Public Health France and the National Suicide Observatory: nearly one in five high school students would have shown a significant risk of depression and suicidal thoughts in the past year, and 15% would have already attempted suicide. He also indicated that hospitalizations for self-inflicted injuries among young women aged 15 to 19 had reached 516 per 100,000 in 2023, an increase of nearly 50% since 2017, while the youth suicide rate is said to have increased by 40% between 2020 and 2022. According to him, more than half of students reported depressive symptoms during the second lockdown. Maïsto added that the deterioration of young people's mental health had started in the mid-2010s and that the lockdowns had accelerated it. He also mentioned isolation, academic pressure, Parcoursup, social media, and precarity, estimating that girls were particularly affected. He concluded that young people did not need to be targeted by defense ball launchers. #SantéMentaleJeunes #SantéMentale #Jeunesse #Dépression (translated)

Joueur du Grenier indicated that he played Squadron 42, the single-player mode of Star Citizen, in advance and had a good time. He praised the immersion, the richness of the environments and life scenes, which he compared to his walks in Night City, in Cyberpunk. He also enjoyed the first-person combat, the visual effects, the sound design, and the music. According to him, the interface was polished and seemed simpler than that of Star Citizen, perhaps in anticipation of a release on consoles. However, he believed that the game would not be suitable for everyone: out of five hours, about three were devoted to cutscenes, with also long sequences where the player followed characters by walking. He described it as a story-driven game rather than a space simulation or gameplay. Joueur du Grenier also reported issues with finishing, lighting, and textures, but said he encountered neither crashes nor significant blocking bugs. He found the artificial intelligence uneven, with some enemies helping each other or throwing grenades, while others seemed unresponsive. He ultimately compared the game to a dream version of Wing Commander and was pleased to have seen Mark Hamill. #StarCitizen #Squadron42 #Gaming (translated)

She stated that students only had classes for six months a year due to strikes and that employers were no longer willing to hire them upon graduation.

Masian described CR7's statement about a speech he supposedly agreed upon with Jorge Jesus as extremely self-centered. According to him, it was planned for Jesus to say that he should not have sent a player of the caliber of Pelé and Maradona to warm up without bringing him into the game. Masian added that it was not surprising that Jesus did not seek to appear servile during the press conference and wondered if CR7 knew that the jokes surrounding Homelander were originally just jokes. #CR7 #Football #Humour (translated)

Actu Foot reported, citing L’Équipe, that Zinédine Zidane had requested the DTN to take measures regarding the full-back position. He would have expressed concern about the lack of available players in this position and asked the coaches of the Espoirs, Baticle, and the U20 team, Diomède, to develop new profiles. Christian Mawissa and Ismaëlo Ganiou had been lined up as full-backs with the Bleuets during this international break, an experience that Actu Foot deemed successful. #ZinedineZidane #football #ÉquipeDeFrance (translated)
