Stepsen wrote that a post pinned to his profile against the AfD received 1,000 likes and 48 comments, most of which disagreed. Previously, the ratio of likes to comments was about 1:1, now it is 20:1. He interpreted this as a sign that many AfD bots had disappeared from X. He also wrote that Russian propaganda was decreasing; this could allow the online discourse to recover. He described the day as good for X, the online debate, and Germany, and contrasted the colors of the German flag with the blue hearts and the Russian flag. #AfD #OnlineDebatte #Deutschland (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus praised Daniel Stelter's appearance on Markus Lanz. He wrote that Stelter had conveyed economic reason and expertise there; the clarity had seemed almost unreal to him. That such arguments appeared like a sensation on German television showed, in his view, how far Germany had strayed from economic normality. Boeminghaus thanked Stelter and recommended watching the show. https://t.co/cLvPHJTWuy #Wirtschaft #ÖffentlichRechtlich #Nachhaltigkeit (translated)

Louis France Kuzikesa considered that a 20-minute speech, free of insults or disparaging remarks, caricatures, or denigration, reflects a culture of statesmen able to address governance issues beyond personal disputes. He presented it as a rationalized political debate, intended, in his view, for citizens of a certain level. #Recteur #Politique #Gouvernance #Débat (translated)

U.M. OSINT announced that he had informed the responsible district association of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen about his departure from the party in the afternoon. He stated that he was left-liberal and had originally become a member because the Greens had become more liberal. However, he can no longer support the development of the party since the last legislative period, particularly its positioning on Palestine, left-wing extremism, and terrorism. He cited the concessions made by the Greens to Die Linke in Berlin as a decisive reason, which he described as vague and unsubstantial. He criticized the Greens for not demanding any concrete consequences, such as the resignation or expulsion of Koçak, the dissolution of the Neukölln Linke association, or the working group on Palestine solidarity. He referred to alleged connections of the group to terrorism apologists and possible links to the PFLP. U.M. OSINT accused the Greens of effectively granting amnesty to left-wing enemies of democracy and terrorism supporters for the sake of maintaining power. In his view, the party has thereby forfeited any right to demand other parties distance themselves from the AfD. He also criticized the SPD and predicted that for them, it would increasingly be about achieving double-digit results in upcoming elections. Furthermore, he criticized political compromises made to maintain participation in government and warned of lasting damage to Berlin, particularly regarding investments and jobs. He stated that he no longer wants to disclose future party memberships publicly and expressed curiosity about the upcoming elections in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. #Grüne #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

The French Mileists contested information that they claim was relayed by Le Canard enchaîné and several accounts on X, alleging that accounts linked to David Lisnard's campaign had bet on Polymarket to artificially inflate his chances. They stated that the bets against Lisnard were, on the contrary, very concentrated on a single account named LLamaLoco, which reportedly wagered more than 420,000 dollars against him. The largest bet in favor of Lisnard was said to be 18,000 dollars, which, according to them, represents a ratio of 25 to 1 in amount and 2.5 to 1 in the number of shares bought. They added that LLamaLoco also wagered 200,000 dollars against Marine Le Pen and 28,000 dollars on a victory for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and that Lisnard and Le Pen represented 70% of the current positions of the account on Polymarket. The account allegedly continued to bet against Lisnard and had been active for some time. The French Mileists stated that they do not draw any conspiracy-like conclusions from these elements but believe that, without these bets, Lisnard would be even higher. Finally, they indicated that Polymarket, on its site reserved for American citizens, estimated his chances of winning at 16%. #Politique #DavidLisnard #Polymarket (translated)

Steffen W. Frølund wrote that a Danish data center developer had appeared before the committee on the same day. According to him, the company had its own wind turbines, solar panels, and a large molten salt battery, used excess heat for district heating, and covered 80 percent of its electricity consumption itself. He wrote that the data center therefore had a modest draw on the grid, while the battery could support the grid, and that it provided district heating locally. Frølund noted that data centers were placed at the bottom of the rationing queue and wrote that it did not make sense. #datacenter #bæredygtighed #vedvarendeenergi (translated)

LilitThyra wrote that the SPD parliamentary group in the Bundestag protested against the election of Tobias Rausch as the first AfD state parliament president in Saxony-Anhalt. She interpreted this as an action against democracy and the will of the voters and criticized that Boris Pistorius had sung the German national anthem in this context. The behavior was irrational; the SPD had lost its connection to democracy, she wrote. #Demokratie #Wahlen #Politik (translated)

The Severan wrote that a person who he believed faced a significant prevalence of reactions now wanted to ban anonymity on social networks. He referred to anonymity as a guarantee of freedom that allowed people to express their opinions without fear of future repercussions. He claimed that pedophiles, predators, and trolls from Russia were used as a cover and stated that he had not read how the ban would impact these groups or what specific threat it would remove. According to him, the first wave of the ban would most significantly affect freedom. #anonymita #svoboda #sociálnísítě (translated)

Miguel Quintana pointed out that Mikel Merino had a high goals per minute average with Spain under Luis de la Fuente: 14 goals in 44 matches. He added that in most of the games he had been a substitute and had played little, so he believed that his goal record per 90 minutes should be valued. #MikelMerino #Fútbol #SelecciónEspañola (translated)

A new report from Ratio, written by Fredrik Cullberg Jansson, highlights the importance of better matching in the labor market, where increased job transitions can free up positions for the unemployed, but points out that current transition support does not reach everyone and that the effects of the support measures are still unclear. #arbetsmarknad #matchningskvalitet #arbetslöshet (translated)

Oana Eftimie wrote that she was discussing with a friend about the new prime minister appointment and that he had known Nicușor tangentially. She said she couldn't understand his movements and wondered if there was a strategy behind them or if he was aiming for early elections. According to Eftimie, her friend told her that she was projecting logic and intentionality onto Nicușor's actions, even though he wouldn’t have acted according to a rational plan. He described him as unpredictable and said the country had come to live in "his ugly dream." Eftimie added that she would be happy if this scenario led to early elections. #politică #România #guvernare (translated)

The author reminded that decades of struggle had allowed every child to go to school. He stated that some young people were now seeking to prevent access and called on society to regain a sense of responsibility and rationality, rather than justifying what he deemed unjustifiable. (translated)
