This is insane. The Spanish league president is ridiculing himself. x.com/Tebasjavier/...

The sequence of events about this really is incredible. In an interview Kylian Mbappé was asked his thoughts about the "dictator" meme. He answered that he actually found them hilarious and took it in stride. He was then asked which one was his favourite, and he mentioned the one below.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but Chairman Mao was very much a dictator, and Mbappé had nothing to apologize for.
Apparently that struck a nerve in Chinese society. Chinese brands cancelled their sponsorships with Kylian, and the Spanish League were forced to tweet a long apology to calm everyone down. x.com/LaLigaCorp/s...
It's genuinely hilarious how so many people find a way to get mad at Mbappé, and every time they are telling on themselves.
Il n’imaginait sûrement pas créer une tempête à l’autre bout du globe. Interrogé par le podcast d’Aurélien Tchouaméni sur les mèmes (des caricatures sur les réseaux sociaux) qu’il préfère, Kylian Mbappé a cité celui mélangeant le look de Mao, le leader chinois...

Two thoughts Abolishing the Indian Act is good. Yeah it won’t be an easy process. But it needs to be done and tbh I’m surprised this is an initiative Carney wants to take on Also Kinew’s national profile has already been growing. But him championing this is going to elevate it further in a big way
Interesting. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

U.S. officials have accused Canada of meddling in the midterm elections, despite President Trump's own endorsement of foreign candidates. Academic Dean @dandrezner.bsky.social discusses with CBC. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Funny story: the retired head of the BdO committee at France Football was recently interviewed on French radio, and he mentioned the fate of Megan Rapinoe's BdO. The interview in French is in this YT link, starting at 43:55. youtu.be/w_nnw6Dr-d0?...
It's Ballon d'Or day. Rose Lavelle is the only #USWNT player on the 30-player shortlist. When will a U.S. player win the award again? The 2027 World Cup would have a lot to do with any "soon" answer. But even 2024 OIympic triumph and standout performances didn't produce a top-3 finisher.

Our choice in the second round for next spring's presidential election may very well be a question of picking either cholera or the plague.
🇫🇷🤔 French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon: Russians are naturally our allies. And the times when they are not our allies, they are the ones invading us. If they attacked us, we would respond. But let us do nothing that would turn us into a co-belligerent against Russians.
That's why I was so negative after the first round. There's never been a case of the candidate trailing after the first round to win it in the second.
So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.

An aside to this, but a big misconception I see with polls relates to the Alberta separation referendum. Polls consistently showed 70-75 remain, 25-30 leave. And they just never budged. Yet so many thought this was going to be a Brexit moment, even though Brexit polls never showed such results.
This suggests a misconception about how polls work. Polls only need a few hundred or thousand people to be statistically representative of the population.
L'aiguille est de retour au menu les gars. (Needle's back on the menu, boys.)

What a monumental success in Serbia. Young people coming together, believing in change and fighting for a better future. It should be a lesson for democracies around the globe. Our democracies can only work when young people are represented and empowered, when engagement goes beyond career politics.
Serbia: The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS-EPP) has admitted defeat in today's parliamentary elections. The Student List (SL-*) has won a majority of votes. #Serbia #Srbija #Izbori2026

Vucic has announced defeat
We’ll see what transpires but one thing important to note: in Belgrade, in front of the electoral commission, and around parliament, broadcaster RTS and other places nearby in the centre, a significant police presence has been put in place - along with a suspiciously large number of masked hooligans
