Michal Sirový described the senatorial duel in Plzeň as exceptionally boring, but he noted that more interesting contests are expected in other districts. According to him, the clash between Láska and Sáblík is worth attention, where a strong, neutrally positioned candidate is pitted against the ODS in Prague, and the battle between Šípová and Paták, which he described as the defense of the mandate by a representative of the weaker Pirates against the ODS. He also considered the contests between STAN and ODS in Hradec Králové and Zlín to be important. He posed the question of which of these brands is currently more popular, or conversely, more toxic. In the clash between Šmarda and Klement, he pointed out the social democrat in neutral colors against a Christian Democrat on the edge of the Czech "Bible belt." He identified Přerov and Karviná as the only two real chances for ANO to gain a mandate and questioned whether voters would show up there. #Volby2023 #SenátníDuel #ČeskáPolitika (translated)

Malin Ekman wrote that men, according to her, had begun to adopt less flattering traits traditionally associated with women, especially men in public life. She argued that they moralized to maintain their place in social communities and pointed to Alex Schulman as an example. After Dagens Nyheter recruited him, he had, according to Ekman, repeated left-liberal positions already put forward by colleagues and expressed indignation over issues that fit within that environment. Most recently, he had reacted with disgust to support for Stefan Holm, who, according to Ekman, had attacked Schulman's friend in a bar after the friend had jokingly mentioned on TV eight years earlier about killing Holm and his son. Ekman described the mockery of Holm as typical of a community where people constantly judged who was accepted and who it was safe to mock. She argued that those who supported Holm did not necessarily defend his long-standing grievances or propensity for violence, but rather his right to stand up for himself and his family even when it went against prevailing notions of right and wrong. According to Ekman, they instead despised men like Schulman, whom she described as adaptable and prone to decide who could be ostracized. #mansfrågor #feminism #könsroller (translated)

Lucas Abriata announced that Carbriata 2027 would be held on February 27 and 28 at the Autódromo de Dolores, about two hours from Buenos Aires, with a presentation by Bybit. He said that the event would bring together 200 iconic cars, from Falcon and Ferrari models to rally and Turismo Carretera vehicles, and that the cars would circulate throughout the day so that the public could see and hear them up close. Abriata noted that the edition would have two track sections, measuring 1,100 and 700 meters, that would operate simultaneously, and that the cars could perform exhibitions there with no speed limit. He also announced a stage for launches, talks, and live auctions with no reserve price; a free space offered to car manufacturers to showcase new models; almost 10,000 square meters of shade tents, compared to 450 square meters in 2026; and at least five categories of awards. According to Abriata, both days would have similar schedules: Saturday would include more presentations and launches, while Sunday would feature the awards ceremony. He added that the venue would cover 100 hectares, that parking would be free, and that children under 12 would not pay admission. He also warned that there was a maximum capacity and that it would not be possible to expand the space if it filled up. The organizer said that the 2026 edition had left him with a lot of stress, but that it had been a very positive experience and had provided him with lessons that could be applied to the next edition. #Carbriata #EventoDeAutos #Argentina (translated)
