ABE suggested that the match between GamerLegion and the team PRIVATE for qualification to LAN 1win Private Club Season 2 may have been rigged. He wrote that the core of PRIVATE was made up of EX-Ruby players, who had previously been accused of using radar hacks. According to ABE, PRIVATE won the first map 13:10, and on Cache they were leading 12:7 with five match points. The author noted that after a technical pause, the team was supposed to lose 10 rounds in a row, and the map was won by GamerLegion 16:12. On Ancient, as he described, PRIVATE initially dominated, then started losing rounds, and eventually took the match into overtime and won. ABE claimed that someone in the stream chat was sharing a Telegram group, and the picks published by that person were supposedly accurate. He pointed out two possibilities: luck or rigged matches, and announced that he had posted evidence in the comments. The author criticized 1win for sponsoring the tournament and called on Valve to take action against cheating. He also reached out to OverDrive to clean the scene of cheaters, and tagged Ciosa, Snaxa, REZ, Hypex, Tauson, and GamerLegion. #Cheating (translated)

Bernd Kaiser expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas on the death of her stepdaughter but accused her of politically exploiting the tragedy. He wrote that Bas is resigning from her position as Federal Minister of Labor and the presidency of the SPD party but is keeping her Bundestag mandate. Kaiser criticized that Bas would therefore continue to receive a salary and additionally statutory transitional pay: the full ministerial salary for three months and then half for up to two years. He compared this to the regulations for employees: those who lose a stepchild have no right to statutory special leave; in the public sector, there are two days off for the death of direct relatives. He claimed that Bas did not change this regulation during her time in office. Kaiser accused Bas of evading political responsibility by referring to grief and public attacks while the costs would be borne by taxpayers. #BärbelBas #SPD #Doppelmoral #BärbelBas #SPD #Politik (translated)

As soon as I speak in public, as soon as I write a post on Facebook or Instagram, they come alive and start offending me. It’s a climate of terror. Then there are more traditional systems: microphones and microcameras placed in private spaces, like in the case of Omar Radi, a journalist persecuted for years for his articles on corruption, spied on through a tiny hidden microphone in a chandelier in his home: “As soon as I speak in public, as soon as I write a post on Facebook or Instagram, they come alive and start offending me. It’s a climate of terror.” #tecnooppressione #sorveglianza #dirittiumani (translated)

Lawyer Elisabetta Aldrovandi has written about practicing her profession for nearly 26 years and trying to maintain respect and moderation when criticizing others' opinions, without attacking individuals. Referring to statements from colleagues in the media, she said she does not agree with cases where criticism turns into offense, mockery, or personal insinuations. Aldrovandi added that, in her opinion, lawyers have a particular responsibility due to their role, for professional ethics even outside the courts, and because they are the only private profession in law mentioned in the Constitution. She hoped that her colleagues would remember this, regardless of their position, and associated the message with the hashtag #garlasco. #garlasco #avvocato #etica #rispetto (translated)

The author also claimed that a powerful tsar had yielded to the will of unarmed private individuals when they threatened to leave. #Osteuropa #Zuwanderung #Geschichte (translated)

Rosario Aitala, deputy president of the International Criminal Court, told Corriere della Sera that the sanctions announced by the United States were preventing judges from carrying out both public and private activities, and that for many of them, the effects were already in place. He reported that they were subjected to measures similar to those reserved for terrorists: revoked credit cards, closed bank accounts, and canceled insurance contracts, with some companies refusing to reimburse medical expenses. According to Aitala, many apps on their phones had stopped working and it was forbidden to book hotels or flights through platforms. As an example, he recounted that Alexa no longer responded to a colleague after he asked her to play blues music. Another European colleague, he added, had booked a room in his own country through a European platform and, after half an hour, received an email ordering him not to try again. #Giustizia #Sanzioni #DirittiUmani (translated)
