R•G•7 reported that his son, who would turn 10 in November and was attending the 5th grade, talked to him about F1 25, which he said was played by older students. After seeing the game's website and the PEGI 3 suitability rating, he asked Gemini for more information and expressed his surprise at the content. According to the description he provided, the game included races with teams, drivers, and tracks corresponding to real ones, career and team management features, a narrative storyline titled Braking Point 3, as well as online play or races with two players on the same screen. R•G•7 argued that the content warranted a rating for adults and not for children over the age of 3 years. He cited pit battles, driving at speeds over 200 km/h, and causing accidents without legal or insurance consequences, other than a penalty to the driver’s time. He added that, as described in the game, the police were not notified but a safety car appeared. He also mentioned that the communications in the pits contained, according to the description, strong curses and racist or misogynistic expressions. Connecting the reference to the speeds with traffic rules, R•G•7 wrote that speeds over 200 km/h incurred a fine of €2,000 and a one-year driving license suspension, with heavier penalties in case of reoffending. He expressed his opposition to the presence of such elements in a game with a PEGI 3 rating. #F1 #Formula1 #βιντεοπαιχνίδια (translated)

Amalia wrote that on October 10, 1993, early elections took place in Greece and PASOK returned to power, where, according to her, it remained for the next 11 years. She attributed the fall of Konstantinos Mitsotakis' government to the independence of New Democracy MP George Sibilidis from Kilkis on September 9 and the MP from Ilia, Stefanos Stefanopoulos, two days earlier. Amalia mentioned that, in response to accusations that he was bribed by financial interests to overturn the government, Antonis Samaras had said that he defended "the patriotic character" of the party. She added that, 33 years later, Samaras was presented as "the soul of the party" and threatened, according to her, to oust Konstantinos Mitsotakis' son, Kyriakos, from power through a temporary party that, as she claimed, would bring the left back to power, which she described as bankrupt. In closing, she invoked Marx's saying that history repeats itself first as tragedy and then as farce. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #ιστορία (translated)

The new research reveals that, although Greece has high rates of "empty houses," many of these homes are not immediately available for habitation, as not all of them are livable and they are classified into categories with completely different characteristics. #ΣτεγαστικήΚρίση #ΚενάΣπίτια #Ελλάδα (translated)

Amalia presented a highly classified British report titled "Greek Security Battalions," numbered PIC/263/21 and PIC PAPER No 55, which, according to her, was sent to the Allied headquarters in the Middle East by an officer signing as "Colonel Chris" on July 18, 1944. Amalia assessed that the author was likely Chris Woodhouse. According to her presentation, the report stated that few Greeks willingly collaborated with the occupying forces and that their motivations were primarily self-interest, survival, or ambition. It also noted that, despite the impending departure of the Germans, the Security Battalions were reinforced after spring 1944, and their clashes with ELAS became more intense. Amalia interpreted this point as an indication that the Battalions aimed to prevent the communists from prevailing after the Germans' withdrawal. The report, as she described it, categorized the members of the Battalions into poor individuals who enlisted for survival, criminal elements, volunteers antagonistic to EAM/ELAS, anti-communist officers, and members of other organizations that had been attacked by ELAS. As an example, she mentioned 200 members of EKKA who joined the Battalions in Patras after the disbandment of the 5/42 Regiment in April 1944. Amalia stated that the author of the report negatively assessed the military actions of the Battalions, as they participated in German attacks against ELAS, but considered that some of their officers were capable. Politically, the report presented them as useful to some of the Greeks because they hindered the dominance of EAM and described three options for the Cairo government: support for EAM/ELAS, tacit support for the Battalions, or condemnation of both sides. The third option, according to Amalia, was considered to have the greatest likelihood of uniting moderate forces. The report concluded, as she wrote, that the actions of the Battalions and of EAM/ELAS were equally terroristic. #ΤάγματαΑσφαλείας #Ελλάδα #Ιστορία (translated)

Chris Avramidis argued that inflation burdened citizens and that inflation was not inevitable, as he wrote, the money leaving one side ended up on another. He noted that refineries reported profits of about 1 billion euros in the first half of 2026 and described the sector as an oligopoly essentially consisting of the Vardinoyannis and Latsis groups. He accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of allowing them to go unchecked and pointed out that proposals had been made to address the situation. He raised the question of why there was a profit cap at gas stations but not at refineries, reminding that a cap had been implemented in 2022 by New Democracy. Avramidis also supported the immediate extraordinary taxation of refineries. He said he had repeatedly brought the issue to the government spokesman and mentioned that a similar measure had been implemented in several countries, including Poland under Donald Tusk's government, whom he described as right-wing. Regarding the effects of inflation, he noted that general inflation could be set at 5.1%, but that rate, in his opinion, did not reflect the real burden on the poorest. He explained that large increases in everyday goods, such as milk, food, and other essentials, were offset in the general index by smaller increases in categories like insurance and financial services. He added that lower incomes spent a larger portion of their money on the goods that had risen most in price. In closing, he thanked Kontra and Konstantinos Maravelidis for the invitation. #Ακρίβεια #Πληθωρισμός #Οικονομία (translated)
