The author claimed that the CRS had to flee from rioters in Marseille and described the situation as a shame for the country. He argued that, since the death of Malik Oussekine in 1986, governments had been paralyzed and ordered the police not to engage. He stated that he would do the opposite and instruct the police to engage. https://t.co/rcdlrf6Jb8 #Marseille #Émeutes #Police #FR (translated)

Johan Ingerö wrote that a writer born in 1990 had explained Metallica's songs from 1986 and 1988 to the band, without any noticeable irony. He quoted the writer's address to James Hetfield: “let me explain Master of Puppets to you.” https://t.co/aQjScqH89L #Metallica #MasterOfPuppets #Musik (translated)

Felipe Leme stated that encouraging a bank run with unfounded allegations could constitute the crime provided for in Article 3 of Law 7,492/1986, which, according to him, stipulates a penalty of two to six years of imprisonment and a fine for the dissemination of false or misleadingly incomplete information about a financial institution. He said that the case was already with the legal team of PL. #CorridaBancária #DireitoFinanceiro #InformaçãoFalsa (translated)

The recent crisis in Siberia, related to the death of a laboratory worker due to a possible plague infection, reflects the confused and contradictory reactions of Russian authorities, reminiscent of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, in the context of the lack of transparency and detailed information from Moscow. #Ciuma #Irkutsk #Cernobîl (translated)

Robert Rakuš, on the 40th anniversary of his first day at work, recalled that on October 6, 1986, he met his colleague Vrečar in the locker room before six in the morning. He asked him if he had brought any spirits for the coffee. Since Rakuš did not have any, he said he spent eight hours polishing welds in a 40-cubic-meter fuel oil tank. He intended to mark the anniversary with 0.3 liters of whiskey on the rocks, noting that he had fulfilled the first condition for retirement. #spomini #prvaden #življenjepis (translated)

Press reports stated that a Macronist deputy estimated in *Le Parisien* that it would be difficult to change public opinion after the tragedy in Lens, where a 15-year-old teenager allegedly had his hand blown off by a police grenade, and that the other option would be to give in to the demands. A minister criticized the Minister of Education, Édouard Geffray, for his delay in understanding the situation, questioning the choice of a technocrat for this position. According to *Le Figaro*, intelligence services anticipated a convergence between high school students, parents, teachers, and other groups who felt neglected. Press reports added that the indicators were in the red and that the services observed a growing politicization of the movement, on the eve of planned student marches on Tuesday. *Libération* saw in the degradation of the movement a sign of a gap between political power and society. When asked about the violent nature of the mobilization, sociologist Patrick Vassort responded that it was not necessarily more violent than previous ones and reminded that the student revolts of 1968, 1973, and 1986 also involved violence. #Lycéens #Mobilisation #Violence (translated)

Veronika Abelová stated that she searched for the qualifications of Sandra Tsoukernik, a candidate for the Senate from the ANO party, but could not find her official biography or information about her education. She wrote that Tsoukernik, born in 1986, holds the title of Mgr. and presents herself as a manager and philanthropist; however, Abelová did not find any information about her work for a foundation or her work experience. According to her, Tsoukernik has not appeared in interviews and participated in only one debate on CNN Prima News. Abelová also wrote that Tsoukernik is the wife of Leon Tsoukernik, whom she referred to as a billionaire of Russian descent who made his fortune in gambling and casinos. She noted that he is often called the "king of casinos," was born in Russia in 1973, and moved first to Israel and then to the Czech Republic in 1990. According to her post, the couple has two children. Abelová added that Sandra Tsoukernik is not listed in the registry as a managing director of any of her husband's companies. She criticized the candidate as insufficiently qualified and ironically urged people to vote for her. She suggested that in the Senate, she could only be a compliant voting hand, and stated that due to her husband's Russian origin, she could also be more dangerous. At the same time, she wrote that Andrej Babiš is running out of people, and labeled her candidacy as bizarre. #politika #senát #volby (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Darja Schipilowa completed her specialist training in clinical laboratory diagnostics with distinction two years ago and worked at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute. She died after being hospitalized four days following an alleged incident; she passed away on the night of October 2. Laska referred to reports from the portal "Ljudi Baikala," stating that several hospitals, including a children's clinic, had been under quarantine for three weeks. Nearly 200 contacts were being monitored, the aluminum plant in Shelekhov required masks, and Russia's chief epidemiologist had been flown in. Rospotrebnadzor ruled out a laboratory accident and spoke of an unknown cause of pneumonia as well as a stable situation. No pathogens associated with her work were reportedly found in the deceased's body. Laska wrote that the governor of Buryatia initially claimed Schipilowa died of the plague, but later moderated his statement. A city administration advised against trips to Shelekhov and subsequently deleted the post; a television station removed five contributions. Russian exile media reported that Schipilowa told medical staff that a test tube containing plague pathogens had broken on September 25. Laska emphasized that this had not been confirmed; other circulating explanations included a business trip to Buryatia and a trip to Thailand. A Russian epidemiologist living in the U.S. doubted the laboratory accident, as protective clothing is used when working with plague. It is publicly unknown whether and what equipment Schipilowa had worn. Laska wrote that there is no sufficient evidence to describe the case as a possible use of a biological weapon; however, an accident involving a lethal pathogen cannot be ruled out. She questioned whether Schipilowa had received timely treatment or if antibiotics had not worked, noting that time is critical in cases of pneumonic plague. The actions of the authorities reminded her of previous cases where Soviet authorities withheld or misrepresented unpleasant information: the anthrax outbreak in Sverdlovsk in 1979 and the delayed announcement of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Whether the Schipilowa case is comparable to these remains to be seen, she wrote. Laska warned that a potential outbreak should not be obscured by political sympathies or downplaying information. In the event of a possible pneumonic plague outbreak, openness for epidemiological reasons is crucial, she wrote. The public must know why nearly 200 people are being monitored and why several clinics are reportedly under quarantine according to "Ljudi Baikala." #Russland #Epidemie #Gesundheit (translated)

Francisco Cardoso stated that the victory of the PL in the first round only had a comparable precedent in that of the PMDB in 1986, during the redemocratization. He attributed the change to Jair Bolsonaro and said that, despite having been imprisoned, wounded, silenced, and humiliated, the victory belonged to the president. Cardoso also declared that the New Republic was coming to an end. #Vitória #Mudança #Política (translated)

40yrs after Connor MacLeod first removed heads, we’re going back to where it all began, with Henry Cavil. I loved the Christopher Lambert & Sean Connerey's 1986 HIGHLANDER version. Sean & I at MGM discussing the movie METEOR we did together. RIP Sean, we love you! https://t.co/adguBFhyQB #Highlander #SeanConnery #HenryCavill #None

Kati Witt „Das schönste Gesicht des Sozialismus“ Gleich mal vorab. Es ist unbestritten, dass Frau Witt eine Ausnahmesportlerin und im Eiskunstlaufen die beste Frau der damaligen Zeit war. Hochverdient ihre vielen Titel, denn dahinter steckten ein unglaublich hartes Training und vor allem auch ein unbeugsamer Wille. Und dann geht mir aber das Lob auch schon aus, denn sie war nicht nur eine Mitläuferin des Systems – wie etwa Jens Weißflog, der es verstand, unter dem Radar zu fliegen –, sondern sie unterstützte offen das SED Regime. Nur allzu bekannt ist ihre Rede als FDJ‑Delegierte auf dem SED‑Parteitag 1986, wo sie dieselben hohlen Phrasen drosch, wie all die Parteihansel dort. Und das, obwohl sie es besser wissen musste, denn als Reisekader war sie ja oft genug im Westen und sah doch, wie viel besser es den Menschen dort ging. Dass ihre Nähe zur Staats- und Parteiführung ihrem Ansehen in der Bevölkerung massiv schadete, erfuhr sie am eigenen Leib, als sie 1988 ein Rockfestival moderierte und vom Publikum gnadenlos ausgebuht und ausgepfiffen wurde. Sichtlich irritiert und peinlich berührt hangelte sie sich dann durch die Veranstaltung und mal ganz ehrlich: Ich habe ihr den Dämpfer damals gegönnt. Und natürlich profitierte sie im Maximum vom System und griff ab, was sie nur konnte. Die Geschichten über eine geschenkte, voll eingerichtete Wohnung in Karl-Marx-Stadt sind bekannt. Auch dass sie mal eben einen Wartburg für ihre Eltern vor die Türe gestellt bekam, was aber damals für die „Goldkinder“ der DDR auch nicht so ungewöhnlich war, denn da war sie bei weitem nicht die Einzige, die so liebevoll vom System bedacht wurde. Hinzu kam ihr extravaganter Kleidungsstil, der normale Frauen neben ihr wie ein Aschenputtel aussehen ließ. Gewandet in sündhaft teure Kleidung aus dem Westen, war so der Neid und Hass vorprogrammiert, was sie aber wohl nicht verstand oder nicht sehen wollte. Das ganze Ausmaß ihrer Verfehlungen kam aber erst mit ihrer Stasi-Akte zum Vorschein, in der dokumentiert war, wie viele „Zuwendungen“ sie von der Stasi bekam. Und eben nicht einfach so, sondern sie forderte diese „Geschenke“ regelrecht ein. So wollte sie etwa von der Stasi einen VW‑Bus aus dem Westen, den man ihr aber beim besten Willen nicht besorgen konnte. Also bekam sie zum Trost einen VW Golf. Das „Goldmädel“ musste halt entsprechend bei der Stange gehalten werden, da sie ja jederzeit auf ihren vielen Reisen in den Westen, einfach dort bleiben konnte. Zugutehalten kann man ihr aber, dass sie wohl kein IM der Stasi war. Alles in allem ist „Das schönste Gesicht des Sozialismus“ in meinen Augen rein menschlich gesehen eine Niete, die zur Wende angeblich nicht verstand, was da passierte. Mit ihren vielen Westreisen sehr unglaubwürdig und so will ich es hier dann auch gut sein lassen. Heute hört man von ihr so gut wie nichts mehr. Sie genießt ihre Millionen, macht bisweilen mal Werbung, um ein bisschen Taschengeld dazuzuverdienen, und ansonsten herrscht Stille. #KatiWitt #Sozialismus #Eiskunstlaufen
