AlkoInvestor described a bedtime story on X that he told his younger son two days earlier. In his version of the story about the three little pigs, the first one kept savings in a sock, the second used three-month deposits, and the third had been investing in accumulating global ETFs for years. The wolf, symbolizing inflation, gradually destroyed the first two houses, while the third, as the author wrote, became bigger after thirty years. AlkoInvestor added that his son asked if the wolf ate the remaining pigs. He replied that inflation was slowly diminishing them by a few percent annually. According to the author, the boy did not fall asleep until midnight, and the next evening he asked for an explanation of compound interest; he fell asleep with a smile, supposedly dreaming of charts. #FIRE #finanse #oszczędzanie #edukacja (translated)

Adam Czarnecki recommended the entry of Niebezpiecznik criticizing the draft act implementing the DSA, which — as he wrote — is bad. According to Czarnecki, the draft stipulated that the President of the Office of Electronic Communications could issue orders to remove or block content. Until now, it was an independent civil court that decided whether a statement violated the law or someone's rights, in proceedings where both parties could defend themselves. Czarnecki claimed that according to the draft, an official could independently assess the legality of content, the proceedings would primarily rely on evidence provided by the complainant, the author of the entry would not have the guarantee of being heard before the block, and the order would be subject to immediate execution. He assessed that an appeal to the administrative court would not solve the problem, as the court would only verify the formal correctness of the office's actions, and the content could disappear from the internet for many months before the case is considered. According to Czarnecki, the draft also included the protection of personal rights. He warned that a councilor, mayor, minister, or company that deemed a critical article or comment offensive could use a fast track to file a request to the office instead of seeking redress in court. He also pointed out that this procedure did not cover the leaks of personal data of ordinary citizens. Czarnecki accused Donald Tusk of exploiting the current attacks in schools to introduce regulations. He referred to Krzysztof Bosak's term, who called it "disgusting exploitation of tragedy." He appealed for improvements to the law instead of its quick enactment. He added that the ABW can already block content of a terrorist nature under EU regulation 2021/784 and a law signed by President Andrzej Duda in 2024. #DSA #Ustawa #WolnośćSłowa (translated)

Otto Ozols, after Ragozin's expulsion, asked whether people in Latvia would be named who, in his opinion, helped Ragozin gain publicity and spread Kremlin propaganda, which he presented as investigative journalism. Ozols claimed that Ragozin and his accomplices deliberately spread lies in Latvia before Russia's full-scale attack on Ukraine to discredit Ukraine and diminish Western support. Ozols wrote that Ragozin had allies in Latvia connected to Sarmīte Ēlerte's so-called "Ministry of Truth." He described Ēlerte as an active backroom operative of the New Unity party and an unofficial representative of the party's propaganda efforts. Ozols asserted that there had been no doubt about Ragozin's activities from the very beginning and asked why New Unity had not noticed and acted on it for years. He also associated this question with the transit of manganese ore and Russian grain. Ozols expressed that representatives of New Unity should not be allowed to handle state foreign affairs or security issues. He also wrote that Latvian Radio News, Krustpunktā, and LTV News would likely not investigate or discuss these connections. #Latvija #KremļaPropaganda #Mediķi (translated)

2 meters tall, athletic build and only 20 years of life. German sadists needed just one night to turn the young hero into a gray, mutilated wreck of a man. They called him "Kruszynka," but he was a giant of courage and determination. He harmed the Germans as best he could, and they were so afraid of him that they eliminated him in Auschwitz. He burned German flags. He unscrewed railway tracks. He attacked German trains. He set fire to transports to the Eastern front. He destroyed the German "V" sign. He participated in numerous operations. At home, he organized a stockpile of weapons, ammunition, a radio listening post, and a cache of underground press. At the age of 17, he fought for freedom in 1939 and was seriously wounded. He was active in scouting. Soldier of ZWZ-AK. Commander of a diversion and sabotage patrol. He brought his family into the underground. For his bravery in battle, he was awarded the Cross of Valor. Arrested as a result of a denunciation. Horribly tortured by German beasts. He did not betray anyone. He took all the blame upon himself. With his testimony, he saved the lives of the women arrested with him. He ended up at Pawiak and Auschwitz. Murdered on December 9, 1942. On October 1, 1942, he was ARRESTED BY GERMAN CRIMINALS PCHOR. TADEUSZ KIFER "KRUSZYNKA." Eternal honor and glory to him! #historia #bohaterowie #IIwojnaswiatowa (translated)

❗️ Dear friends! Definitely go to the elections! Don't stay at home! This year the "vatniks" are mobilized like never before — there have not been so many posts on social networks urging people to vote since the referendum on the second state language. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And it's not surprising, because these elections — no matter how banal it sounds — are currently the most important in Latvia's history. Four years ago, it seemed that the war in Europe would soon end, and everyone could live as before. ⚠️ Now it is clear that the agony of the Kremlin regime will continue for more than a few years, and it is logical that these convulsions threaten the orc neighbors. That is why the "vatniks" are mobilizing as if this were their last battle. 🔥 Vote for any pro-Latvian party — you know their names well. For those who advocate for Ukraine's independence, categorically against joint business with Russia, and support the maximum imposition of sanctions on this damned country. 🫣 I understand that many of you are disappointed in politicians and their parties. You may be thinking about not wasting your time voting. 🤔 My advice to you: come and drop an empty envelope in the ballot box if really no one appeals to you. Then, thanks to high voter turnout, the anti-state forces will get fewer seats in the parliament. 🇬🇧 My friend Dmitry, who lives in Birmingham, will be traveling to London to vote. It’s not a cheap train trip, and besides, he will have to spend about 2.5 hours one way from home to the polling station. He will do it because he really doesn't want Latvia to become part of the Moscow Reich. 🙏 I am sure that for most of you, getting to the polling station is much easier. Don't ignore the day when Latvia chooses its future development path! We are currently at a historic crossroads, and the path our country will take further depends on each of us! Let’s be responsible this weekend! #elections #HistoricMoment #vatniks #mobilization #Kremlin #vēlēšanas #VēsturisksMoments #vatņiki #mobilizācija #kremlis #vēlēšanas #VēsturisksMoments #mobilizācija (translated)

Valsts prezidents Edgars Rinkēvičs apžēlojis izgudrotāju Raimondu Skurulu, kurš tikko tika notiesāts par izspiešanu saistībā ar CSDD IT sistēmā 2018. gadā atklātu drošības ievainojamību. Vēl tikai prasītos, lai karma, pieliekot kārtīgu punktu šai lietai, izveidotu "krustā sisto" aleju no CSDD "varoņiem", kuri izdomāja "ietaupīt" 1000 eiro, beigās izšķērdējot valstij desmitiem, ja ne virs simts tūkstošiem eiro, un, protams, arī no notiesāšanā līdzvainīgajiem sistēmas pārstāvjiem. Jāatkārto elementāra patiesība - galva nav domāta, lai tajā tikai ēstu vai uz tās nēsātu dienesta cepuri, tā primāri tomēr paredzēta domāšanai. https://t.co/pkBtg82bp3 #Latvija #politika #drošība
