Arto Koskelo wrote to Jari Sarasvuo that even Uruk-hai have feelings, and that the elves use the concepts of good and evil in their power games. He described orcs in Minas Tirith as a marginalized minority and suggested that empathy could help. Additionally, Koskelo stated that the diversity of Gondor is its strength and characterized Sauron's eye as a social construct. #UrukHai #Empatia #Diversiteetti (translated)

The author wrote that he was waiting for a TVN24 material that precisely described the funding model of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, which he described as one of the largest organizations in Poland. He added that the donors, as he presumed, being viewers of TVN, had the right to know this information. The post ended with an unfinished sentence about what those making donations should wish for. #WOŚP #finanse #TVN24 (translated)

The Latvian public has published a message from Sarmīte Cīrule, a combat medic of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, in which she wrote that four years had passed since the start of her service two days ago. She had initially planned to serve for one or two years and had hoped that the war would have ended by then with a defeat for the Russian forces. Cīrule also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for saying that a Russian general had made a mistake and that Ukraine should have quickly lost the war. Cīrule reported that during the four years, she had experienced a lot, made new friends, and tested the loyalty of former friends and acquaintances. She thanked the people who had come to Latvia for the treats and support, saying that the help alleviates her struggle. She urged to help Ukraine, to endure to the end and to win, emphasizing that love gives her the strength to continue and that loyalty is her most important quality. Cīrule added that the finish line has not yet been reached and that the victory of supporters will be part of the common victory. #Ukraina #Cīņa #Mīlestība (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Beness Aijo had participated in a communist protest in front of the Russian presidential administration building a few days ago, where objections were raised against this year's State Duma election violations. Kasems claimed that Aijo had spoken about the difficulties faced by observers in entering polling stations and accused the Russian authorities and the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, of stealing elections in Moscow. According to Kasems, Aijo had called the Russian government de jure illegitimate, criticized it for dismantling the socialist state, and claimed that the elections were stolen from the communists. Kasems also wrote that FSB officers had attempted to issue Aijo a decision to initiate administrative proceedings regarding discrediting the army, but Aijo refused to accept it. He reportedly explained that he had once defended the so-called "DTR" and therefore could not discredit the army. Kasems pointed out that he had previously warned Aijo about possible problems with Russian security services. He expressed satisfaction that Aijo's actions were now causing headaches for the Kremlin, rather than Latvia. In conclusion, Kasems asked whether a criminal case would be initiated against Aijo or if he might die from falling out of an eighth-floor window. #benessAijo #komunisti #kremlis #orki #fsb #benessAijo #komunisti #kremlis (translated)

AlkoInwestor described how during the infection season in the office, he compared the costs of using kitchen towels, grey toilet paper, and tissues. According to his calculations, one nose blow cost 0.0258 PLN net, 0.0054 PLN net, and 0.0366 PLN gross, respectively. The author noted that kitchen towels were nearly five times more expensive than toilet paper, and toilet paper only stopped being the cheaper option after using five sheets. Assuming that 40 people blew their noses 10 times a day for about 120 working days, AlkoInwestor estimated the total number of such actions to be 48,000. He wrote that using kitchen towels would cost the company 981 PLN net for the season, and factoring in the tax shield — 795 PLN. Tissues, as he pointed out, did not generate a cost for the employer because they were purchased by employees. The author reported that he presented a recommendation to the boss for employees to finance their own tissues or use grey toilet paper, while leaving towels for kitchen purposes. The boss rejected the idea of sending instructions to employees. The next day, Mariusz reached for a roll of paper brought by Kuba, but instead of taking one half sheet, he tore off three. AlkoInwestor summarized that the standard began to be implemented from the bottom up. #FIRE #biuro #zdrowie #finanse (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that the first instance court of Latvia has sentenced Sergejs Ņikitins, a citizen of Russia and Germany, to seven years in prison. According to Kasems, Ņikitins explained that the night vision devices and binoculars brought to Russia were intended for animal shelters, but the court did not accept this explanation. Kasems claimed that after the verdict was announced, Ņikitins accused Latvia and court officials of fascism, Nazism, and Russophobia. He also wrote that Ņikitins was comforted by Aleksandrs Giļmans and Alla Berezovska and that Ņikitins repeated allegations of hatred against Russians in Latvia, as well as appealed to the Kremlin for help in rescuing him. Kasems claimed that Ņikitins had already served a sentence in Germany for killing his wife while intoxicated and pointed out what he considered a characteristic prison tattoo of thieves on Ņikitins' finger. He asked whether Ņikitins would appeal the verdict and whether the realization that such people are not needed in Russia would come to him at the beginning or closer to the end of his sentence. #vatņiki #LatvijasTiesa #spriedumi #ņikitins #cietums #LatvijasTiesa #spriedumi #cietums (translated)

Magda wrote that the right already imagined an American base in Poland and Karol Nawrocki welcoming Donald Trump during its grand opening, but in her opinion, it was too early to celebrate. She added that if Trump had to choose between interests with Vladimir Putin and sympathy for Nawrocki, the Polish politician could painfully realize that Putin is more important to him. She suggested that Trump's choice would not fall on a person with the area code +48. #Polska #Trump #Politika (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Sergejs Muļivanovs, whom he described as a pro-Kremlin activist, had previously organized street actions in Riga and had gone to the Cabinet of Ministers with posters. Kasems claimed that Muļivanovs had participated in a conference at the Moscow Institute of CIS Countries, where, according to him, the future of the indigenous peoples of the Baltic States was discussed in the event of the region's occupation. According to Kasems, Muļivanovs has not returned to Latvia after moving to Russia and obtained Russian citizenship in 2024. He pointed out that Ruslans Pankratovs had been looking for Muļivanovs, but publicly available Russian court databases contained a record of a person with the same full name being detained on April 3 under article 159 of the Russian Criminal Code for fraud. Kasems added that in the case materials, the suspect was described as someone who had recently obtained citizenship and was officially unemployed in Russia, and claimed that fraud could carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Kasems sarcastically asked whether Muļivanovs' supporters would act on the principle of "not leaving their own behind" and suggested that the detention could be an attempt to force him to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense and send him to war. He also noted that he had anticipated Allas Berezovska's reaction to the detention, but according to him, she had not written about this case. #vatņiki #krievija #nvsInstitūts #propaganda #muļivanovs #krievija #vatņiki #nvsInstitūts (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Natālija Kuprijanova moved from Daugavpils to Krasnodar with her three sons because, according to her, the Latvian language caused one son to have epileptic seizures. Kasems pointed out that the son is now taking medication and there have been no more seizures, but Kuprijanova associates the improvement with moving to Russia. Kasems claimed that in Krasnodar, Kuprijanova's sons were not admitted to a general education school because they had not passed the Russian language exam required for migrant children. According to him, Kuprijanova planned to complain to Vladimir Putin and noted that her family is ethnically Russian and Old Believers. Kasems contrasted this situation with the circumstances in Latvia, where children, according to him, could attend school for free. #vatņiki #krievija #Daugavpils #deokupācija #LatviešuValoda #vatņiki #krievija #LatviešuValoda (translated)

Rats are fleeing, and the captain explains that this is not a typical company. At TV Republika, salaries come in when someone throws money into a fundraiser. Employees have been talking for months about installments, delays, and loans that cannot be repaid. Sakiewicz's response: I'm getting people used to the fact that you don't receive first-of-the-month money here. Meanwhile, the station is begging viewers for 2 million for a license again because it cannot pay on time. 55 million zł from the public in 2025, costs of 112 million, and in the end, a loss. Business model: you, dear patriots, contribute. They broadcast. Salaries — as it comes. Now Strug is leaving. Jankowski has vanished from the hallway. The orchestra is still playing, but already on credit and QR code. Only one thing works without delays: the appeal for donations. #media #finanse #TVRepublika (translated)
