Ringvägens Finest described the result as a total nightmare and stated that it summed up the season well. According to the writer, the team was good at trying to take control of the game but was too harmless when it mattered. The writer also hoped that the team would miss the top three, so that next year they could focus entirely on Allsvenskan. #fotboll #Allsvenskan #säsong (translated)

RealSeasonNT stated that as long as Madrid's coaches continued to be dependent on Mbappé, the team would continue to suffer. It rejected the notion that the problem was limited to Tito and asserted that he had ruled the player out since a trip to Paris last season, stating he would not renew and was expected to leave the club of his own accord this summer. The author wondered why no coach dared to sideline the Frenchman. He claimed that Carlo, XA, Cinci, and Mou had all ended up leaving after continuing to bet on him, whom he labeled a burden and linked to the inability to win. As an example, he cited that day's match: he stated that Mbappé, despite being injured and not in condition to play, was a starter, spent 90 minutes on the field, and missed five clear chances. According to RealSeasonNT, from the first minute he showed a lack of speed and power, and spent a good part of the match walking and watching the game. He also maintained that Mou did not substitute him even when the team was playing with ten, so, in practice, they were left with nine for several minutes while Mbappé remained motionless. #RealMadrid #Mbappe #Fútbol (translated)

The Typical Day recounted Jon Elmore's journey to the NBA, which began in 2018 when he declared himself eligible for the draft. After not being chosen in 2019, the player continued to pursue that goal between Trieste, Capo d'Orlando, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, and the G League, before also spending time in Turkey and the Canadian league. According to the report, this summer Elmore had played in the Summer League with the Lakers, becoming the oldest player to take the court in the competition. Twenty days ago, in a six-team G League trade that involved players, buses, and three washing machines, his rights ended up with the Spurs, who then signed him. Elmore made his debut in an NBA pre-season game against Atlanta, finishing with 0 points and 0/2 shooting. The Typical Day described his story as one of the most incredible of 2026 and noted that he was 30 years old, ironically describing his mature appearance and physical play under the basket. The profile concluded by wishing him the opportunity to play at least one season before retiring. #NBA #Basketball #Sport (translated)

The X-user Coxx wrote that the medfluencer Alina Walbrun fell for a fabricated illness of the YouTuber Marvin Wildhage in July 2026. Wildhage supposedly had "post-viral nasal hypersensitivity" and invented a fake pharmaceutical company supposedly led by "Dr. Sofia Beatrice Gepetto." Walbrun accepted 3,800 euros for paid clarification and stated on Instagram that she was familiar with the condition from her studies. According to Coxx, she also mentioned symptoms that had not been included in the briefing. Coxx described Walbrun, born in 1998, as one of the most influential German-speaking medfluencers; she had around 300,000 Instagram followers. She had studied human medicine at LMU Munich until May 2026 and referred to herself as "Doc Alina," even though she was not a practicing doctor. Criticism of this had already existed before the scandal. After the video was released, Walbrun apologized, called the term unverified and misleading, and donated the 3,800 euros to Doctors Without Borders, wrote Coxx. The LMU clinic stated that Walbrun was no longer active there and distanced itself from unscientific statements. Coxx also pointed to criticism of the "Doc" title, retracted Harvard statements that later only pertained to a summer school, as well as Walbrun's company Onegevity. This company sold dietary supplements, including matcha with sleep berry, which the BfR warned against. Unsolicited blood sugar tips had also drawn criticism from the German Diabetes Society. Coxx wrote that the public prosecutor's office is now investigating Walbrun, whom he labeled a left-green activist and fraudster. #Medfluencer #Gesundheit #Skandal (translated)

Peter Rasmussen wrote that several employees at B.T. had sent a so-called "concern letter" to editor-in-chief Simon Richard Nielsen because they believed, according to his presentation, that the newspaper's editorial line was too right-leaning. He described it as a showdown between the newspaper's line and left-leaning journalists. Rasmussen believed that B.T. lacked enough value-politically right-leaning journalists to run the newspaper without such a showdown. He also wrote that the newspaper was under pressure to moderate its line but claimed that the Danish population lay significantly to the right of the media. According to him, B.T. therefore filled a gap in the media landscape that no other media covered. He urged Simon Richard Nielsen to maintain the editorial line and wrote that a change could make B.T. unnecessary. #dkmedier https://t.co/IZEtDErAVd #dkmedier #journalistik #venstreorienteret (translated)

Moe (stylized as moe.) is an American jam rock band, formed at the University at Buffalo in 1989. The band members are Rob Derhak (bass, vocals), Al Schnier (guitar, vocals, keyboard), Chuck Garvey (guitar, vocals), Vinnie Amico (drums), and Jim Loughlin (percussion). The band's first record, Fatboy (1992), established the band as a favorite of the 1990s jam band and improvisational rock scene, which grew in popularity with the rise of bands such as Phish and Widespread Panic. Moe toured with the Furthur Festival in 1997, appeared at Woodstock '99, played Summerstage at the Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, opened for The Allman Brothers and The Who. The origin of the band goes back as far as October 1989, when Chuck Garvey, Rob Derhak, and Ray Schwartz got together to play a Halloween show at a friend's behest. https://hvdommelen.nl/m/moe.html
