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)

FLORENTIA challenged a post about Drama and Serres, which, as she wrote, mentioned 300,000 dead Muslims, coercion of survivors to convert to Christianity, and concealment of events from Europe for 80 years. She characterized these claims as unhistorical and cited the Ottoman census of 1906/1907, according to which the total Muslim population of the Sanjak of Serres, which included Drama, was below 175,000. Regarding the period of the Second Balkan War, in June and July 1913, she stated that the cities were under Bulgarian occupation. She referenced a report by the Carnegie Foundation from 1914, which, as she claimed, recorded that the retreating Bulgarians burned more than 4,000 houses in Serres and killed hundreds of Greek civilians. She added that the Greek Army stopped the destruction and that, based on records from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it had guaranteed by proclamation the safety, property, and religious freedom of all residents. According to her, the Muslims who remained in Macedonia retained their religious rights and their mosques until the Population Exchange. FLORENTIA also stated that, according to the Treaty of Lausanne, approximately 350,000–400,000 Muslims were organized and peacefully relocated from Greece to Turkey. She countered that the number of 1.5 million referred to Greeks from Asia Minor and Pontus, whom, as she wrote, were violently displaced or exterminated by the Young Turks and the Kemalist regime. She concluded by arguing that turning tourist destinations into tools of hatred through false claims and distortion of historical evidence constituted a new practice. #Ιστορία #Δράμα #Σέρρες (translated)

Nikos Boyiopoulos criticized journalist Zacharos for a comment he made on his show on the ONE television station regarding Erietta Molcho, who, as he stated, had been missing after the train collision in Tempi. According to Boyiopoulos, lawyer Th. Staikos, who represented the Voulgaris family in the trial for Tempi, noted on the show that Molcho had not been located. Zacharos, as Boyiopoulos wrote, questioned whether she was on the train and linked the mention of the missing persons to previous claims that there were no deaths during the Polytechnic uprising. Boyiopoulos stated that the 23-year-old Molcho was on the passenger train that collided with a freight train on the night of February 28, 2023, and that no trace of her had been found on the train. He added that her parents had attended the court in Larissa last April and had filed a motion to support the charges in the pre-trial proceedings. As he noted, after the reactions, Zacharos apologized, describing his wording as incorrect. He claimed that his intention was to offer ironic criticism of those adopting theories surrounding Tempi and had apologized to Molcho's family and the relatives of the victims. Boyiopoulos concluded his post by addressing him with a heavy insult. #Τεμπη #Πολυτεχνείο #δημοσιογραφία (translated)

Venice made a series of statements about the tragedy of the Tempi, attributing them to political figures, executives, and journalists. According to her post, Karamanlis had stated that he ensured safety, while Florinis had insulted those who spoke about "filling in." Triantopoulos, as she wrote, had used dehumanizing language regarding the victims, while a voter of Mitsotakis had used a vulgar term for the train in a discussion on Space with AML and Portosalte. Venice noted that Mitsotakis had said he did not know and was not obliged to know about the issue, had attributed the drama mainly to a tragic human error, and had characterized the best justification for the sacrifice of the children as ensuring that something similar would not happen again. Romanos had said that they found themselves expressing condolences, while Giogakos had stated that, for better or worse, people were dead. Government officials and civil protection executives had invoked the obligation to clean the area, while Kyriakos had rejected the term "filling in" and had spoken of rehabilitation. According to the same post, Georgiadis had argued that no one in society was interested in the investigation for Tempi and, in another statement, that Greeks were not interested in either the investigation or the pre-investigation. Analysts and executives, in discussions after the national elections of May and June 2023, had estimated that the political cost from Tempi was negligible. Voultepsi had described the issue as stale, Markopoulos had referred to the "cursed" committee and had said he was having fun, while Tamilos had stated that not all Trikala would cry. Venice also attributed to Voridis the position that the accident would have happened even if there had been remote control, as well as the assessment that it was a minor issue compared to what was happening on the planet. Mitsotakis had said that everyone was to blame, while Voridis had argued that names should not be recorded in the Constitution because not all places were the same. Finally, journalist Zacharos of New Democracy had raised the possibility that Eritheta was not on the train and had referred to earlier reports of missing persons at the Polytechnic, which, as he said, did not exist. #Τεμπη #Τέμπη #ασφάλεια #Ελλάδα (translated)
