TIL that Anton Chekhov's play The Cherry Orchard, contains two loaded guns which are never fired. This goes against Chekhov's own narrative principle known as Chekhov's Gun, which states that all elements in a story must be necessary.

This was reported by the BFM TV channel, citing a representative of the First Lady of France, Tristan Brome.
According to her, Brigitte recently discovered that on the French tax website her gender is listed as male, and the name is recorded as Jean-Michel. The First Lady has already filed a complaint.
It should be noted that since 2017, a conspiracy theory has been actively discussed that Macron's wife is actually a man who underwent a gender transition. These rumors have been repeatedly denied by Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron.

"This has always felt like the ur-North Korea story to me, because it has a little bit of everything. First of all, it’s delightfully madcap — they KIDNAPPED RANDOM PEOPLE on BEACHES using SUBMARINES and they did it for DECADES. Second, it’s full of bizarre irony. The North Koreans got away with this scot-free until, in a gesture of goodwill and altruism designed to improve relations with Japan, they fessed up and tried to make things right…at which point everything blew up in their faces and had the exact opposite effect."
