Incredible that asking for respect for BTS's privacy and rejecting that the media set up or remain in the hotel is interpreted as insulting, scolding, or "throwing out" someone. As ARMY, we reject that the hotel becomes a waiting point for the media. BTS is staying there, not conducting a public activity. Where is the professionalism, @lafm and @vanedelatorre? What is the purpose of staying in the hotel beyond invading their privacy and disturbing the rest of those staying there? What kind of valuable information is generated by doing that kind of coverage? We call for respect and responsibility. Covering news does not eliminate the right to privacy. BTS deserves to rest and have peace during their stay, like anyone else. (translated)

Łukasz Gibała with a strong dose of RiGCZ: Unlike the KO candidate, he promises to stand by the residents regarding short-term rentals. He would prefer to completely reverse the logic of the new law and ban converting apartments into hotels, and anyone wishing to open such a business would have to obtain the residents' consent.

In some ways, Filip Turek is really a genius. On one hand, he complains about the previous government, Petra Hladík, Green Deal... And on the other hand, he bombards Instagram with Green Deal modernization projects approved by Hladík, pretending they are his. And his fans are crazy about how great he is. Top. (translated)

If anyone is wondering about Vindeln's sudden desire to regulate women's clothing: This is the WHOLE explanation. The municipal councilor feels threatened by a female teacher who has engaged against his mismanagement of the municipality and has become popular because of it. Yes, she looks good and is quite eloquent. Everyone understands that the councilor feels threatened and pressured. It's just ridiculous to pretend that he suddenly came up with the idea to regulate how well women's breasts are visible. That is not the case. It's his cope because he is threatened by organized younger women. It's ridiculous that the media can't put two and two together. The councilor has received incomprehensibly much criticism from women in the last 2-3 years. (translated)

Pat Travers (Toronto, 12 april 1954) is een Canadees bluesrockgitarist, toetsenist en zanger die halverwege de jaren 1970 zijn opnamecarrière begon. Travers is geboren en getogen in Toronto. Kort nadat hij op 12-jarige leeftijd de gitaar had opgepakt, zag hij Jimi Hendrix optreden in Ottawa. Travers begon al vroeg in zijn tienerjaren in bands te spelen. Zijn eerste bands waren de Music Machine (niet te verwarren met de Californische psychedelische/garageband met dezelfde naam), Red Hot en Merge, die in clubs in de omgeving van Quebec speelden. https://hvdommelen.nl/t/Travers.html

We have already communicated with different television channels and made the request that they please do not publicly inform about the hotel, arrival times, or much less real-time information about where they are. We also ask that the message sent can be spread through all possible media, so we hope the media can respect it. 🫶🏻 (translated)

The Bonn orchestra is insolvent. The popular concert series Vienna Classics is completely canceled. Domino effects! A country in decline. Economically and culturally. The performance operation ends: The association of the Classical Philharmonic Bonn has filed for insolvency. The entire season 2026/27 has been canceled, and thus five planned concerts in the Bielefeld Oetkerhalle are also canceled. Financing collapses: About 60 musicians are affected by the discontinuation of concert operations. Reasons cited include rising costs for travel, accommodation, venues, and organization, as well as the loss of essential financial support. The insolvency shows how significantly rising costs and lack of funding can economically pressure even established cultural offerings. @HotManufaktur thank you very much for this important note!

QUIET! PRAYER! DECENCY! DIGNITY! "Madam, tell them that there are lawyers, doctors, engineers here; there are people who take care of their lives, their families, who work and contribute to the progress of this country." I was at the central detention center last night. I didn't post because I'm somewhat fed up with the TikTok crowd that uses these moments to promote/monetize themselves. In a year and a half, there have been many moments in front of the judicial control that have been ruined by these characters, perhaps well-intentioned, but who have turned these moments too often into a spectacle for social media. What I want to say, without wishing to get into polemics with anyone, is that we must be very careful about the energy we create around these gatherings. If the vibe is controlled by conflicting, aggressive people, with negative emotions, quality people who feel the same way we do will be hesitant to join. And not because they don’t care, but because they don’t feel at home in such a space. Why do I say this? Because, despite the tension in society, now is the moment for QUIET! PRAYER! DECENCY! DIGNITY! Thank you, Ana-Maria Nita, for managing to beautifully summarize, in a private conversation we had this morning, what needs to be done. They will want to hijack these gatherings as they did with the shepherds' protest. They will exploit negative emotions. They will try to push us towards conflict, towards anger, towards violence. They will not be able to do this if we raise the vibration. I would like to propose to those of you who go there evening after evening, and I will come too, to understand that now the main message we need to convey is one of support for Călin Georgescu. To let him know that we are by his side – WE ARE HERE! And it was beautifully chanted last night: "Căline, Căline, we are here with you!" And the main message we need to convey to those who have mocked this country and its people is that we know everything they have done. That we haven't forgotten the pandemic. That we haven't forgotten the plunder. That we haven't forgotten the cancellation of the elections. That we haven't forgotten their contempt. BUT we choose to confront them calmly, with dignity, through unity, through commitment, with the belief that they cannot abuse, persecute, and arrest us all. Last night, when I arrived, around 10 PM, there were over 1,000–1,500 people. I came without hope that there would be so many people because I hadn't seen anything anywhere in the mainstream press. I was surprised by the energy there. From the beautiful people who stopped me and said the quote from the title: "Madam, tell them that there are lawyers, doctors, engineers here; there are people who take care of their lives, their families, who work and contribute to the progress of this country." The most uplifting moment of the evening was the singing of the anthem, initiated by the nai player Nicolae Voiculeț. A passage was posted by Mrs. Cristela Georgescu. It was the energy, the vibe of that moment that convinced me that these gatherings must be transformed into a cenacle. A CENACLE FOR THE RENAISSANCE OF ROMANIA. We must show them that we are much more than the labels they put on us. The words of Caramitru Jr. after the shepherds' protest echo in my mind: "interlopers," "destroyed," "the scum of society" from "boondocks." A bloated person like him despises real Romania; it repulses him. And there are many like him, many "juniors" (Papahagi, Tismăneanu, Paleologu) who set the tone of hatred and venom and spread it throughout society. Returning to what happened last night. I left when the chants began with "The gendarmerie protects theft," "Mușușor, arrested." It shouldn't be about this now. What would I do? I would go with a white armband. We need a symbol of peace, of resistance, and of dignity. I would encourage Nicolae Voiculeț to transform these gatherings into a cenacle. I would lift the crowd; I wouldn't lower their vibration. I would chant one thing: WE ARE HERE! (translated)

This is so ugly for the image of Latin America… One of the members already came out to ask that they do not stay in front of hotels and do not follow them, and they arrive here in Latin America for their first show on the continent and find the airport PACKED!! In our time, instead of showing that we are different and not these wild fans (the impression that outsiders have of us), they go there and make this shame. BARMYS! In 2019, there was NO MEDIA OF BTS ON SOCIAL NETWORKS. No one discovered the hotel and no one disturbed their lives. If you love BTS and want them to have a great stay, make them comfortable, let them feel at home, and please, avoid ANY MEDIA OF BTS ON THE STREETS OF SÃO PAULO!!! (translated)

A brief Swedish economic history that seems to have fallen out of the curriculum: Ruben Rausing left Sweden in 1969. Ingvar Kamprad left in 1973. Hans and Gad Rausing shipped out in 1982. H&M founder Erling Persson emigrated the same year. Reason: tax. The Left thought it was just an empty threat and implemented a series of tax increases. In the 90s, Stefan Persson also threatened to leave. Then the tax rules changed. He stayed and later paid 1.7 billion in income tax in just three years. It is totally irrelevant how high the tax rate is on paper if the wealthy flee. 100% of 0 kronor is unfortunately 0 kronor. What is relevant is, of course, how much tax actually comes in when people adjust to it. An honest question: is Sweden so incredibly wrong as it is? Thriving startup culture, very generous welfare, a good country to live and reside in. Do we have to challenge this with EVEN. MORE. TAX? (translated)
