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)

Mehdi (e/λ) wrote that the idea of a completely peaceful revolt was, in his view, a comfortable myth intended to neutralize dissent. He added that, without a balance of power or economic or security costs for the elites in power, the outrage in the streets was quickly absorbed and reduced to a media background noise. #Politique #Révolte #Contestation (translated)

Just as fossil fuel companies and their cronies sow doubt about scientific knowledge on climate change in order to prevent the development of non-fossil fuel resources, they’re doing the same thing now to climate attribution science to avoid accountability for climate damage. Pay attention!

Marcin Matczak considered the president's attempt to control whether the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal elected by the Sejm met the requirements as usurpation. He argued that according to the principle of legality, the president would need a clear legal basis for such control, and — as he wrote — there was no such provision. Matczak criticized the hypothetical examples presented by Marcin Przydacz and Zbigniew Bogucki regarding the election of a horse, a monkey, or a person without Polish citizenship to the Tribunal. He described them as science fiction scenarios. He added that if the Sejm chose animals, it could invalidate their appointment with another resolution, just as — according to him — PiS did in 2015 to introduce substitutes into the Tribunal. He noted that in that case, people who had Polish citizenship were elected. In response to the arguments of Przydacz and Bogucki, Matczak presented his own ironic examples of possible presidential control: a test of knowledge about society and the Constitution, a physical fitness test, and a certificate from a parish priest about the candidate's impeccable character. He asked why the president should control one requirement and not the others. Matczak wrote that he considered the whole situation absurd. He assessed that caricatural legal arguments were being constructed so that the president — a potential defendant of the Tribunal — could decide who would judge him. He attributed such a position to Karol Nawrocki and his associates. #prawo #Polska #sędziowie (translated)
