What’s the Deal With ‘Hawk Tuah’ Girl?

Have you spent the last week seeing posts about someone called “Hawk Tuah Girl” and thinking to yourself, “I can’t be bothered with more information.” If so, you and I are in the same boat. Well, curiosity got the best of me when I saw that Ms. Tuah was reportedly signing with a talent agency. That rumor has since been walked back, but I had already seen the video and sort of figured out what was going on with the girl going viral for her fun sex tip. So now, I will pass that information on to you. The striking feature France's politics today - apart from the unprecedented strength of the far right - is that it is no longer a left-right contest. This election is a three-way duel between left-wingers, pro-Macron centrists, and the hard right. Think of it as a scene from a Tarantino movie where each gunman has to keep an eye on two deadly rivals. Versions of that fight have been been playing out in 577 constituencies all over France for the past week.]
