Juan Jesus pointed out that Hansi Flick considered Frenkie de Jong a key piece for his style and was studying to move him back to use him as a central defender. He wrote that the coach had already tried him alongside Cubarsí in the last collective training sessions. He added that, given Christensen's injury and his recurring physical problems, he saw De Jong as a possible solution in the heart of the defense. He also stated that the player was familiar with that position from his time in lower categories and in his early years at Ajax, and that he felt comfortable in it. #FrenkieDeJong #HansiFlick #Fútbol (translated)

Simone Juffermans sarcastically wrote that the government had arranged a tiny house for people who couldn't find housing, in a nice and quiet location. She added that there first needed to be a willingness to perish in a conflict, after which, according to her, everything would be arranged. #woning #tinyhouse #nieuws (translated)

She played fantastically. She hit it so hard that I couldn't do anything. It was a level I couldn't believe. I didn't know what to do with it. Oh my god, what a player, for me a future superstar, Sabalenka raved about her young opponent already at the end of June in Berlin, when she managed to turn the match around from a score of 2:6, 0:4. #NikolaBartůňková #tenis #WTA (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari wrote that Sanna Marin had been in Italy promoting her book and told Corriere della Sera that she would likely not run for office unless Russia attacked Finland. In that case, according to Huhtasaari, Marin would have said she was available. Huhtasaari interpreted the statement as positioning herself rather than expressing a willingness to be a victim. According to her, Marin implied that conventional political work did not match her capabilities and that only a crisis threatening Finland's existence would be a sufficiently significant task. Huhtasaari compared this to the scale of historical leaders such as Kekkonen, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Lee Kuan Yew, and George Washington, using the metaphor of the "Napoleon syndrome" to describe the phenomenon. She specified that she did not mean it as a diagnosis. Huhtasaari also criticized the contradiction between Marin's book discussing hope and the self-image conveyed in the interview. She argued that the role of politics was to build structures that functioned without a single politician. As examples of such builders, she mentioned Lee Kuan Yew, who influenced Singapore's development, and Mart Laar, who made economic and institutional decisions in post-independence Estonia. Huhtasaari believed that there had not been similar builders in Finland for decades and that Marin did not belong to their ranks. According to Huhtasaari, statesmen did not announce in advance when they would return to politics, but either did their job or stepped aside. She criticized Marin for traveling to present her book, which discussed decisions made behind closed doors, and for associating a potential return with Russia's attack. Huhtasaari described this as a fantasy of seeing herself as a historical exception. #SannaMarin #Politiikka #Historia (translated)

Bruno Guzzo stated that Fantástico showed what he described as the largest manifestation ever recorded on Avenida Paulista, but abruptly interrupted the coverage when addressing other pro-Lula acts across Brazil. https://t.co/vkdpCn6JbY #AvenidaPaulista #Manifestação #Brasil (translated)

Julio Freiress wrote that Fantástico had confirmed that the demonstration in support of Lula's re-election occupied 10 blocks of Avenida Paulista. According to calculations mentioned by him, more than 500,000 people would be needed to fill that area, but Freiress stated that aerial images showed an even larger crowd. #Lula #AvenidaPaulista #Manifestação (translated)

Actu Foot stated that Manchester City had largely defeated Liverpool at Anfield, in a tense atmosphere for the Citizens' first match since the controversy regarding the allegations. The account noted that Erling Haaland scored his 11th goal of the season, praised the introduction of Jérémy Doku, and suggested that Rayan Cherki once again showcased his talent. #PremierLeague #ManCity #Liverpool (translated)

Majakovsk has defined Trump’s “disaster” as even more serious, claiming that the U.S. Treasury could not use a license to circumvent the federal law that prohibited imports from Russia. He added that any potential policy change would require a 30-day advance notice to Congress and that, in his view, Russian ships would not be able to clear goods and would remain in port without unloading them. The author criticized the political class, accusing it of acting without respecting the rules and of not knowing them. Regarding the tanker headed for the United States, he stated that it probably carried fertilizer, perhaps urea, and not diesel: he specified that no data on the cargo was available and that confirmation would only come upon docking. He also argued that the timing did not match and that in the past tankers had already transported fertilizer instead of oil. Finally, Majakovsk predicted a sharp decline in pro-Russian bots on X. While acknowledging that there was no circumstantial evidence of farm bots on Yandex, he claimed that state control was so strong that their presence was “practically certain.” According to him, the disruption of bots and services on Yandex would likely have made many accounts on the platform less active as well. #Trump #Russia #Politica (translated)

Xico Graziano criticized Lilia Schwacz for a video in which, according to him, the professor said she would use Pix as much as possible because Flávio Bolsonaro could end the system by order of Donald Trump. Graziano classified the statement as false and questioned whether Schwacz knew this or truly believed that a victory for Bolsonaro would leave Brazil subservient to the United States. The author highlighted that Schwacz was a professor of Anthropology at USP, a Global Scholar from Princeton, an award-winning writer, and the owner of the publishing house Cia das Letras. He also stated that she was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters in March 2024 for chair 9. Graziano compared the video to her inauguration speech two years earlier, in which, according to him, Schwacz had advocated for the strengthening of institutions and citizenship. Graziano questioned whether the professor had used her prestige to deceive the public and speculated about the reasons for the publication, mentioning the possibility that she had consumed alcohol or was out of touch with reality due to living in an academic bubble. He also associated the episode with what he described as an old ideology of the Brazilian intellectual left, formed in the 1950s and 1960s and still linked to the class struggle. #FakeNews #Cidadania #Antropologia (translated)

The author wrote that Heinrich XIII, Prince Reuß, has been in pre-trial detention for almost four years without a verdict. He confronted Reuß for more than 80 minutes with topics such as the "Earth Alliance," kidnapped children, and coup plans, and asked whether these were bizarre fantasies or a planned coup d'état. He invited people to get a picture for themselves via a link. https://t.co/iQjZE7ndSf #Justiz #Politik #Deutschland #DE (translated)

Lia Bencivenga said she had not followed and did not want to follow a program she considered dishonest. Commenting on the discussions about the so-called Dossier K, she argued that its contents were verifiable in the SITs of the cited individuals and that even Stasi's defense had had suspicions about the Kappa family, without this constituting a crime. Bencivenga added that the dossier and the numerous emails sent to the Prosecutor's Office were on record and that nothing had been hidden. She then wondered why the person she called "Miss FBI" was so interested in knowing the author of the dossier, while, according to her, she showed no interest in the concealment of decisive results attributed to the RIS of Garofano and another involved person. She also criticized that person's reaction to the "personal consulting," which, in her opinion, had been found in the RIS files even though it had never been requested, submitted, or signed. Finally, Bencivenga criticized four people who were following that case, claiming that they had poor critical reading skills and were attracted to malice and meanness. She asked the person called "Miss FBI" if she checked the documents before becoming indignant. #mostri #garlasco #dossierK #giustizia (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

David Rangl published a text that he described as a transcript of Andrej Babiš's response to a question regarding the ANO party's results in Prague. In it, Babiš was attributed with the claim that the movement did not lose, only received fewer votes, and that the result was bad. The text further connected the European Union with a green lemon, the electoral failure of Motorists with parking, and Tomio Okamura with not exceeding the five percent threshold. Babiš was also attributed remarks about the Pirates and Somalia, colonoscopies, and penguins that do not fly. According to the text, Karel Havlíček was supposed to prepare an eighteen-page analysis of penguin walking. #volby #politika #ANO (translated)
