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)

Sonic Youth is een experimentele noiserockband uit New York, opgericht in 1981 door Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore en Kim Gordon. In hun vroege carrière werd de band voornamelijk gerekend tot een band uit de no wave-scene. Hun muziek houdt geen rekening met muzikale conventies. Op dat vlak kregen ze vroeger het label punk opgespeld, enkel en alleen al voor hun kijk op muziek. Het negeren van die muzikale conventies uit zich onder andere in de manier waarop ze hun instrumenten bespelen. Het gebruik van schroevendraaiers, drumstokken, compleet verbouwde gitaren en alternatieve stemmingen vormt de basis van hun muzikale proces. https://hvdommelen.nl/s/SonicY.html

The author wrote that the person detained for 30 hours did not have access to a lawyer.

Václav Urban published a text styled as a SpaceX announcement, in which he claimed that the company had limited customer drones to a speed of 160 km/h for safety reasons on the front line, and that this change was not announced in advance. According to Urban, the restriction did not apply to Russian Shaheeds, as they are not the company’s customers. Urban further wrote that the Pentagon was paying for Starshield, Russian oil had been free of sanctions since Friday, and midterm elections were approaching. He also stated that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had contacted SpaceX, Washington, and NATO partners since the morning, and that the Polish foreign minister had publicly messaged Elon via X. He likened the silence of SpaceX, the White House, the Pentagon, and allies to drone operators waiting for a signal outage. In conclusion, Urban attributed to Elon the claim that Zelensky had gone too far and too fast, and ended the text with a thank you to "comrade Krasnov." #drony #bezpečnost #NATO (translated)

Max Hübner assessed that Donald Tusk's recording regarding the restoration of the rule of law was a sign of failure. He noted that the Prime Minister published it in the afternoon, not in the morning as usual, which—according to Hübner—indicated that he had previously expected success. Hübner wrote that taking over the Constitutional Tribunal was supposed to be easy and involve the swearing-in of Berek and entering the CT with the assistance of the SOP and the Police. He claimed that this did not happen thanks to the defenders of the Tribunal and the firm stance of Bogdan Święczkowski. According to him, the recording was meant to calm disappointed government supporters who had been waiting for an announcement of success since the morning, and who later criticized the lack of results from his actions. Hübner added that the refusal of the Warsaw Police garrison to execute the order to storm the CT also hit the rulers hard. He wrote that Tusk was furious and could have been ready to remove the protesters and Święczkowski, or even destroy the Tribunal building to achieve his goal. He believed that the Prime Minister had to take action, as otherwise, he faced a political failure a year before the elections. #Polska #Praworządność #Tusk (translated)

Thorkill described on October 14, 2026, reports from Ukrainian channels on Telegram about restrictions on Starlink terminals and connectivity issues during missions, which — as he wrote — were supposed to involve strike drones. According to his account, a former advisor to the ex-Minister of National Defense, Sternenko, wrote that connectivity started to drop off at speeds exceeding 160 km/h. The president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky's advisor on drone technology, Sergij Beskretnow, was said to have informed that SpaceX imposed speed restrictions for Starlink terminals used in motion. As Thorkill reported, Beskretnow indicated a limit of 100 miles per hour for the military service StarShield. Sternenko later relayed military reports of connection drops at speeds of 60–70 km/h. Thorkill wrote that the Financial Times took up the issue, describing terminal problems at speeds above 160 km/h. Connectivity issues with StarShield were also reported by the command of the VII Corps of Rapid Reaction. UP journalist Jula Kirylenko, however, noted that the information was not fully precise, as other units did not report problems. Thorkill also cited a post from a user on X from Ukraine, who wrote that standard Starlink services were functioning unchanged, and he could neither confirm nor deny the reports of StarShield restrictions. The author argued that the reports mixed two services. According to him, civilian Starlink had been limited to speeds of 75–80 km/h in Ukraine since the end of 2025, while military StarShield was managed by the Pentagon, not Elon Musk. Thorkill added that a limit of 160 km/h should not be a significant problem, as Ukrainian strike drones FP-2 and AN-196 Liutyj were supposed to fly at such speeds. Thorkill wrote that he suspected an attempt to provoke another media dispute by Zelensky's camp. He linked this to Zelensky and his political environment's accusations against Donald Trump for failing to warn about the launch of ballistic missiles towards Kyiv. According to the author, Ukrainian troll farms connected to the government spread these accusations, and it later turned out that Russia attacked Kyiv with S-400 system missiles. Thorkill claimed that these were difficult to detect by satellites, as their engines operated for only 10–20 seconds, providing a small thermal signature; he added that previously, American satellites also did not detect them. #Starlink #Ukraina #technologia (translated)
