In yesterday’s deserved euphoria over Vucic’s defeat and Lula’s knife-edge re-election, no one noticed that Bulgaria held presidential elections. The pro-Russian incumbent underperformed and the pro-EU challenger beat the polls but turnout was a paltry 20%. Impossible to guess how the runoff will go

Healey to ensure state pension (SP) is not taxed for poorest pensioners, SP set to exceed personal allowance (PA). A person relying solely on SP will pay no income tax. Another with lower SP & other source for the same total income could pay tax. Unfair. Cliffe-edge issues. Increase PA for all.

Adaś wrote that in connection with the article about Wipler, people associated with Razem were the only ones fighting against — as he put it — the pathologies of family foundations. He claimed that "leftist" accounts, which previously supported their liquidation when it brought likes, were now silent. He added that they would be among the first to mock Razem for shitposting and described them as attention-seeking. https://t.co/Tlnt1nVCWK #Polska #Wipler #fundacje (translated)

HIB HOB XD rated that the second season of "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" told a separate story and did not try to imitate the first. He wrote that it intrigued him more, tackled more interesting themes, and allowed for a deeper dive into the Cyberpunk universe, while also focusing on the people and the changes they undergo. The author admitted that after finding the construct, he felt a drop in quality. In his opinion, a larger number of episodes could have better presented the characters' pasts and more fully closed their stories, but the ending compensated for these shortcomings. He also positively assessed the visual aspect and noted that the season contained fewer night scenes than the first, which he believed highlighted its different character. He considered the lack of epic moments fitting for the whole, comparing it to a documentary, referring to Roman's camera. He concluded that it was a very good season, showcasing the possibilities of the Cyberpunk world. #Cyberpunk #Edgerunners #anime (translated)
