ShaqVII characterized it positively that some had quit smoking and alcohol. He claimed that this way, those who worked 14 hours a day could endure more and earn more. He also mentioned that not having their own home was a positive thing, as, in his opinion, they spent their money on the pleasures of life instead of on real estate. For those facing panic attacks and identity disorder, ShaqVII stated that they reacted normally in a society and life that, as he wrote, had been shaped by the boomers and were entirely selfish and overconsumptive. He added that younger people worked on themselves and shaped their character, in contrast to the boomers, who, according to him, vented their dissatisfaction with family complaints and onto their children. #κοινωνία #νέαγενιά #ψυχολογία (translated)

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 Proper Greek Analyst criticized publications from Kontra, Eleftheros Typos, Political, and Dimokratia, arguing that they presented as a Greek success an exception that would pave the way for a reduction of fuel taxes or investments amounting to 1 billion euros. He described the coverage as misleading and said it confused two different requests. According to him, the government's request for temporary reductions in the Special Consumption Tax or VAT on fuels not to be counted toward the deficit was rejected. He argued that such measures would directly support citizens and businesses and that they had been implemented without requests to the Commission from 11 EU countries. He also cited a Reuters publication regarding the rejection of requests from Greece and Italy for greater fiscal flexibility. On the contrary, he mentioned that a request for exemption from fiscal rules on spending for energy projects had been accepted. In his post, this possibility did not concern only Greece: a Commission announcement dated 18/8/26, with code C/2026/4514, stipulated an exemption of up to 0.6% of GDP cumulatively over two years for countries that would apply. He estimated that this corresponded for Greece to 1.56 billion euros, with an GDP of 260 billion euros at current prices in 2026, and not the 1 billion euros that, as he wrote, the government planned to allocate. The Proper Greek Analyst added that Italy's request, which, according to ANSA, concerned 0.6% of GDP or 14 billion euros, was expected to be approved by Monday. He contrasted this amount with the 0.38% of GDP or 1 billion euros attributed to the Greek plan. For Greek projects, he mentioned grants of 200 million euros for energy storage batteries from renewable sources, 320 million euros for railroad safety and expansion projects, 200 million euros for heat pumps and solar water heaters for 100,000 beneficiaries, 117 million euros for energy upgrades of 109 public buildings and universities, 50 million euros for photovoltaics, batteries, and heating systems for 10,000 beneficiaries, 50 million euros for carbon capture and storage in industry, and 45 million euros for 246 school units. He stated that, beyond the subsidies for households, the remaining projects would not directly benefit citizens. #Ελλάδα #ενέργεια #δημοσιονομικά (translated)

Amalia claimed that documents uncovered from the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History (RGANI) showed that Moscow was funding AKEL with the aim of preventing the union of Cyprus with Greece. According to her, the funding served Soviet interests, as Greece was a NATO member. She stated that the money was channeled through the International Trade Union Assistance Fund for Left-Wing Labor Organizations, which she described as a cover for the KGB, and that the allocations were approved by the Political Bureau of the CPSU. She mentioned Yuri Andropov as responsible for transferring the funds. According to Amalia, six annual reports for the period 1961-1973 recorded remittances to AKEL amounting to $56,000 in 1961, $56,222 in 1962, $56,000 in 1963, $69,722 in 1965, $70,000 in 1966, and $140,000 in 1973, totaling $447,944. She added that these amounts did not necessarily constitute the total aid received by the party, as, she wrote, documents for all the years had not been declassified. She also mentioned that AKEL had received weapons from Moscow. She wrote that the Central Committee of the CPSU approved, at the request of AKEL's General Secretary Ezekias Papayiannou, the shipment of 100 Walther pistols and 25,000 cartridges. According to the posting, the weapons were sent on June 13, 1974, and delivered on July 4. Amalia questioned the stated purpose in the documents — the protection of AKEL leadership and other persons — and claimed that the weapons were intended for terrorist actions against EOKA B. Finally, she stated that Makarios had received weapons from Czechoslovakia, with Moscow's approval, in late January 1972. According to her, these were unloaded in the area of Kseros and transported with about 50 trucks to the Archdiocese in Nicosia. #Κύπρος #ΑΚΕΛ #ιστορία (translated)
