Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Der Spiegel won the so-called "North Korea Super Cup" for the sixth consecutive time – again with a large lead over the competition. He accused the Hamburg magazine of leftist ideological bias and stated that the competition had been unsuccessfully trying to contest the title for five years. He also criticized that Der Spiegel no longer distinguishes between reporting and opinion. In closing, Boeminghaus congratulated the magazine and wrote that Pyongyang must be turning green with envy. #DerSpiegel #Journalismus #Medien (translated)

The Australian exchange student wrote that without X, one would continue to believe that only a few hundred migrants had left Ceuta after one day and that students in France had peacefully demonstrated for new school books. He described these representations as grotesque lies that could no longer hold. #Migration #Fakten #Gesellschaft (translated)

The Australian exchange student wrote that the CDU would naturalize as many people this year as lived in more than three large cities, and was likely to bring in an equally large number. He also claimed that in many West German towns, the majority ratios, especially among younger people, had already shifted. He wrote that conditions like those in France were closer than one might think. #CDU #Einbürgerung #Politik (translated)

Snicklink wrote that the left would realize that their demands for justice and equal treatment had been unsuccessful. The right would find that their desire for safety and tradition had turned against them and had become the basis for their own lack of freedom. Those in the political center, who had remained passive out of fear of taking a clear stance, would also, according to Snicklink, realize that without their own action, nothing would change. Very soon, people would understand that they had been pitted against each other, Snicklink wrote. Their fundamental values and needs, as well as their fears and hopes, had been deliberately addressed— a pattern that had been effective for thousands of years and tapped into tribal thinking. Snicklink also wrote that the human soul had been poisoned by too much information about the trivial and too little about the essential. The human spirit had been shaped and subjugated, and was so far removed from its source that people only found themselves in violence, plundering, envy, and generalizations. They had come to consider this their true nature, Snicklink wrote. The author added that all of this had to happen for people to rediscover themselves. In conclusion, he thanked God for accompanying people on their journey back to love. #Gerechtigkeit #Gesellschaft #Menschlichkeit (translated)

Pieter Zwart wrote that he saw Míchel making the sign of the cross. That reminded him of a statement by Johan Cruijff: if all 22 players in Spain made the sign of the cross before entering the field, according to Cruijff it would always end in a draw. #groaja #voetbal #JohanCruijff #ZagMíchel (translated)

Beach Roy asked why there was nothing to be seen on X/Twitter about the massive No Kings protests that, according to him, had taken place all across America the day before.

Albanians need to think very clearly: Do they want this, or do they want the EU? "Albanians need to think very clearly: Do they want this, or do they want the EU?" said Rama in a speech transmitted on Facebook. God knows what the consequences will be. There are no young people, no students, and no minors who would even think about implementing this plan. This is a foreign hand. #Albanien #EUBeitritt #Proteste (translated)

The author praised a young man from the JU as brave and smart and wrote that he had shown Friedrich Merz "the red card."

This, the author explained, resonates with 90 percent of Germans. https://t.co/lScGdDAR90 #Politik #Deutschland #FriedrichMerz #DE (translated)

Tadek Solarz wrote that the Volkskrant had reported the day before that Greta Thunberg had joined the French student protests and that the NOS had emphasized that the majority of the protests were peaceful. On X, he had seen footage of a woman trying to defend her store against looters and of a shopkeeper who was assaulted and kicked in the back. According to Solarz, those images could symbolize a distressed France and broader unrest. He stated that the tone and image choices of the Volkskrant and the NOS gave violence a different place in the story than the images he saw on X, which focused on victims. The criticism that X algorithms amplify certain messages and thus distort the perception of reality, he believed, also applied to the selection made by newsrooms. Solarz wrote that the woman and her looted store could have been front-page news and that her fear could have become the face of the protests. #journalistiek #mediatheorie #protesten (translated)

Leo Lucassen is a historian and looks at how it was. It immediately invites Jan Latten ('greetings back') to the next, always expressed in a dry Limburg tone reaction: "Leo Lucassen is a historian and looks at how it was. I am a demographer and look at the numbers of now. If you want to think that everything remains as it was, you listen to him, and if you want to see what risks there are, you listen to me." #Demografie #Migratie #Religie (translated)
