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)

Andris Kulbergs (AS) wrote the day after the elections that the work of the Cabinet of Ministers continued, and thanked the voters for their trust in him and the UNITED LIST. He stated that the party had also won in the Bolderāja polling station in Riga. Kulbergs pointed out that President Edgars Rinkēvičs had invited all factions to a meeting, the UNITED LIST first, and congratulated it on its historic victory. He added that there was no space for 41 faction deputies in the Saeima and the Presidential Palace. He described the coalition meeting after the elections as the calmest he could recall, stating that the issues were dealt with swiftly. In his opinion, after the elections, coalition partners and journalists showed less interest in the everyday work of the Cabinet of Ministers. Speaking about a possible tax on Netflix and other streaming platforms, Kulbergs opposed its implementation, pointing out that it could hinder cooperation with the USA. He said that the USA currently ranks 15th in terms of Latvia's foreign trade, behind Russia, and mentioned discussions with American entrepreneurs, the Hollywood industry, and security and the deployment of US forces in Latvia. According to him, during the Latvian president's visit to the USA, the US ambassador had organized a meeting for the Latvian business delegation with about 300 high-level entrepreneurs, while HBO had already arrived in Latvia for talks. Kulbergs estimated that the streaming platform fee could generate about 600,000 euros but emphasized that those costs would likely be borne by consumers, with subscription prices increasing. He believed that the funding for the Latvian film industry could be found in other ways, including reviewing the SIF programs, and he criticized the Ministry of Culture for not finding a solution without a new tax in four months. #Latvija #vēlēšanas #politika (translated)

Susanne wrote that she had to laugh at a budget debate in which Tijs van den Brink (CDA) unintentionally embarrassed Heera Dijk (D66) according to her. Dijk had said she was happy that financial coverage had been found, but according to Susanne, she could not explain what that coverage consisted of. She wrote that Ingrid Michon, whom she referred to as VVD president, came to Dijk's aid and that VVD minister Van der Burg laughed off the discomfort. Susanne called that partisan and compared the performance of D66 and the VVD in a mocking manner. #BegrotingKoninkrijksrelaties #TweedeKamer #TweedeKamer #Politiek #Humor (translated)

Jarosław Królewski appealed to the fans of Legia, Wisła, Lech, and other clubs. He wrote that for over 30 years of modern Polish football history, no one has briefly described the phenomena related to the fans' movement. He criticized some fans for, in his opinion, their superficial understanding of patriotism and loyalty, as well as for building an image of cunning despite issues with the Polish justice system. Królewski accused this part of the community of exploiting and subordinating weaker individuals, including young people from difficult life situations. He wrote that fans should not ruin their lives in the name of violence, crime, and pseudo-honor principles, and expressed hope that his post would reach at least one per mille of young people facing important decisions. At the same time, he emphasized that the majority of the Polish fans' movement is made up, in his opinion, of valuable people who support their clubs, help others, and organize social initiatives. He considered the minority that represents violence and the subordination of the weaker as a higher form of fandom to be a problem. He encouraged the audience to love their clubs, defend values, and think independently. He added that he was not interested in any pacts being made. #futbol #patriotyzm #lojalność (translated)
