Glenn criticized a writer in Aftonbladet for having misunderstood a Generation X attitude towards politics and music, according to him. He argued that Metallica's audience did not want political statements from the band and that James Hetfield and the other members understood their audience. Glenn asserted that Metallica's actions against file sharing via Napster were about protecting the band's music, not about politics. He recounted that a friend received a message saying she had been banned from Napster by Metallica, but they laughed about it. He called it brain-dead to describe Metallica as cowardly for not wanting to dedicate playtime to Palestine, the environment, or Russia. Glenn also wrote that Hetfield's statement about politics and music was hypocrisy. https://t.co/ZKhpjjkCKt #Metallica #musik #politik (translated)

AlkoInwestor described how to present saving as minimalism. He suggested that instead of talking about a reluctance to spend money, one should emphasize the lack of need for possessions, while referring to a few identical clothes as a capsule wardrobe. According to the author, one can also explain not buying a new phone by stating that the current one meets all needs and allows one to resist marketing. Among the examples, he mentioned refusing to go out to restaurants due to noise and crowds, forgoing vacations in protest against mass tourism, and proposing family holidays without gifts. He jokingly suggested limiting household items to a minimum while simultaneously accumulating ETF units. He advised responding to questions about driving the same car for 15 years with a question about the motivation to buy a new SUV, adding that one can have a functioning Skoda oneself.

Karina Michelin wrote that on the same day the Federal Police's request to investigate Flávio Bolsonaro was made public, which was sent to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, Lula threatened his opponent during the Band debate on October 18, with statements about possible judicial consequences. According to her, the PF's representation, forwarded to the Supreme Federal Court, dealt with suspicions of money laundering and connections with those investigated in the INSS scandal. The request was randomly assigned to Moraes, who was to decide on opening the inquiry. Michelin also reported that Roberta Luchsinger, who is being investigated in the INSS case, told CNN Brazil that she intended to negotiate a plea deal involving Lulinha. Luchsinger accused Lula of using state apparatus against her and stated that she would hold the president responsible if anything happened to her or her two daughters. Regarding the Banco Master case, involving Daniel Vorcaro, Michelin mentioned his allegations that attempts at plea collaboration had been blocked when references to Lula came up. The author claimed that the disclosure of a possible investigation against a presidential candidate on the eve of the second round, combined with Lula's statements in the debate, raised concerns about prosecutorial judicial decisions in the final stretch of the dispute. She advocated for vigilance and transparency and said it was unacceptable for Republic institutions to be instrumentalized to pursue opponents, interfere with the popular will, or remove an opposition candidate from the race through judicial means on the eve of the election. #PolíticaBrasil #Justiça #Eleições2023 (translated)

Petenucci was pondering the seriousness of the situation and wrote that if the reports were confirmed, Ukraine might have acted without Poland's knowledge or with the knowledge of Donald Tusk and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. In the first case, he argued, this should trigger NATO Article 5, and in the second, it would mean Poland's involvement in the war and give Russia a justified reason to attack Polish territory. He added that the reports were supposed to be consistent with the drone recordings published by internet users, and the situation unfolded at a time when the USA was striving for a ceasefire. #Ukraina #NATO #Bezpieczeństwo (translated)
