Jakub Balcerzak wrote that Ran Takahashi was set to debut in the TAURON League as a member of Bogdanka LUK Lublin. He described the 25-year-old Japanese player as someone who combined recognition among fans and collaboration with major brands with the ambition for further sports development. According to the author, the transfer to Lublin was not merely a marketing move: the club had tried to acquire the player earlier, and this year’s discussions were the third attempt. Balcerzak stated that Takahashi only now believed he was ready to play in Poland, and the prospect of playing alongside Wilfredo Leon was an important argument for him. According to Balcerzak, Takahashi started as a libero, and he became interested in volleyball thanks to his older brother Rui. He gained wider attention as an outside hitter when, in his last year of school, he led Higashiyama to the Japanese high school championship, after which he began studying at Nippon Sport Science University. Philippe Blain called him up for VNL 2021, despite his limited experience in senior volleyball, and he subsequently made it to the squad for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. In his national team debut, he achieved, according to data cited by the author, 50% attacking efficiency, 35% attack effectiveness, and 80% positive reception. Balcerzak wrote that after the 2021 national team season, Takahashi, at Blain's urging, went to Italy. In December 2021, he joined Padwa, and later moved to Monza, with which he reached the LegaVolley finals and the Challenge Cup semifinals in 2024. In the 2024 league season, he recorded 49% attacking efficiency, 35% attack effectiveness, and 53% positive reception. After three years in Italy, he returned to Japan after the 2024 national team season, which — as the author described — was hampered by ankle injuries and a defeat at the Olympic Games. According to Balcerzak, Takahashi became the face of the SV League project, and in the first season he won a double gold crown and almost all individual awards. After his second season in Japan, he chose Lublin, wanting to find himself in a new environment before the Los Angeles Olympics. The author stated that in the 2026 national team season, the player was among the top five volleyball players, recording 53% attacking efficiency, 39% attack effectiveness, and 53% positive reception. He also quoted coach Stéphane Antiga’s opinion, who described Takahashi as a “complete outside hitter,” and pointed out that the player particularly valued defense, precision, and mentality. #TAURONLiga #Siatkówka #RanTakahashi #Debiut (translated)

NeoJudgeTuleye described the first physical contact between Piotr and the police officers. He wrote that Piotr was a retired military gendarme, knew the procedures, and was supposed to keep his hands to himself. According to the author, the policewoman, who did not have a camera, pushed him with her body, and the policeman grabbed Piotr as he turned around. Piotr was supposed to break free and escape because — as the author claimed — he recognized the provocation due to his professional experience. The author also wrote that the incident was presented as an attack by a “right-wing knifeman” on the policewoman. He assessed that the services failed and overlooked the fact that they encountered a former officer of the security forces. #policja #emeryt #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that the Italian state was supposed to recognize about 970 million euros to the judges in service, after the Council of State judged some criteria for the calculation of salary adjustments as illegitimate. According to the site, the sum would have been allocated with the subsequent budget law and would have concerned about 11,000 ordinary, administrative, and accounting judges. The cited estimates indicated one-time arrears averaging about 70,000 euros gross for each judge and a structural salary increase of about 20,000 euros gross per year. The actual amounts, Ultimora.net specified, would have varied based on years of service and the position held. #Giustizia #Magistrati #FinanzaPubblica (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that contrary to predictions that no one would come to the Constitutional Tribunal, the protesters arrived in crowds, and more people continued to gather. He stated that the demonstration was organized in just 2 days.

Rzep ironically accused an unidentified person of announcing strict sanctions on Russia in front of cameras and naming them after a deceased friend, only to retract them in a nighttime statement two days before they were set to take effect. He added that despite this, she remains a hero of the Polish right, which wants to base Poland's security on her. #Rosja #Sankcje #Polska (translated)

Yes, Russia was able to start this war [against Ukraine] largely because Europe was energy-dependent and very much so on Russia. However, Paulius Saudargas, a Member of the European Parliament speaking on the Žinių radio show “I Live in Europe,” believes that S. Bessent is partly right here. #Rusija #Ukraina #Europa (translated)

Kulebin wrote to Łukasz Boka that alliances are worth little. He accused Polish politicians of notarming the country and relying on their own strength, constantly turning citizens against each other. He added that he felt disgust towards them. #Polska #polityka #sojusze (translated)

The author recalled that recently someone on X presented as something cool and masculine that a teenager in the Polish countryside can drive a tractor. He wrote at that time that such a situation can only last until someone dies, as — in his opinion — happens in the Polish countryside. He added that the further development of events quickly wrote an epilogue to that discussion. #polska #wieś #młodzież #PL (translated)

Vladimir Putin announced that the Russian army has occupied significantly more territory in Ukraine than indicated by the data from the Institute for the Study of War, which estimates that the actual increase in territory was only 144.51 square kilometers over nine months, contrasting with his claims of occupying 6,500 square kilometers. #Putin #Ukraina #wojna (translated)

Steven Arrazola de Oñate described Trump's response as interesting and wrote that there was much speculation about the backgrounds of the war. He suggested that the American president might have information that was not public. As a reason to critically examine the official narrative, he referred to previous CIA involvement in regime changes and the destabilization of governments, including in Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, and Chile in the 1970s. According to him, that did not prove anything about the current war in and of itself. Arrazola de Oñate found Trump's wish to end the war even more important. He wrote that thousands of soldiers were dying every month and that preventing more casualties should carry more weight than trying to prove one's own point. At the same time, he stated that a large part of the European political elite depicted Trump as a dangerous dictator, while those same politicians, according to him, insisted on continuing the fight. He wrote that negotiations were framed as weakness and continuing to fight as moral superiority. Finally, he stated that the truth would ultimately come to light. #Trump #oorlog #waarheid (translated)

Filip Zator referred to the actions of the prosecutor's office in the case of medical negligence involving Dawid Kacprzyk. He cited comments from Stanowski, who claimed to know witnesses and had contacted them, but the prosecutor's office had not questioned them. Zator wrote that the prosecutor's office had repeatedly explained that before questioning Kacprzyk, it needed to interrogate many witnesses, and yet — as he claimed — it still had not questioned the key individuals in the case. He compared this situation to actions taken at the zoo in Łączna, where, in his opinion, there was a swift move to destroy the entrepreneur. He assessed that the country had become a "meme." #prokuratura #lekarskiezaniedbania #Polska (translated)

Javier Milei described the lesson he referred to as extraordinary and stated that socialists of any tendency would not understand it because, in his opinion, envy, hatred, and resentment weighed more than reason. He ended the message with a farewell. #Masterclass #Política #Opinión (translated)
