Germany has just this week installed a predominantly-Marxist government.  You in the Netherlands have a Marxist Socialist Party.  We in :SCO have a governing party that is firmly Marxist. The Corbyn wing (about 40% of the  :GBR  Labour Party is happily Marxist.
 

Of course, modern Marxists do not have luxuriant moustaches, smoke pipes & speak with thick :GEO accents, but they’re still firmly in that tradition.

In India, we have Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) as mainstream national parties. CPI(M), in alliance with CPI and other parties, even rules the state government in Kerala and is a major player in some other states.

I've never heard of a real-life Sem or Noah or Finn or Mees or Mila* or Yara in the Netherlands, but I guess I'm either living too much in the countryside where the popular city things are less popular or - most likely - I'm just not in contact with enough people, especially people with children :lol: 

 

*the neighbour's monstrous dog is called Mila, I believe, but I doubt that counts

Most popular 2021 names in Poland through June (Zuzanna (Susan) & Julia are the two most popular girls' names of the 2010s.

That list already consists of exactly one name here...also a girl's name, which would make it a huge challenge in case it'd be a boy because we have absolutely no clue despite several years of trying to come up with something :d

    • The Stoevi sisters are just amazing. It's a shame their accomplishments will always be in the shadows here, just because they are in a sport without much coverage, tradition, interest.    This is their 7th European title (5 ECH + 2 European Games) which is just one shy of Carolina Marin's all time record of 8th titles in a specific event. Plus it was their 6th consecutive final with only one loss in 2024 in this streak. 
    • I know that the PP was definitely pro-European and anti-Russian- they had a prime minister at the very beginning of the war in 2022. Unfortunately, GERB was always corrupt, although it remained in the EPP on EU Parlament all- time. The PP was probably the best option, but unfortunately, they seem to have lost a lot of public support recently.
    • Italy- Slovakia 6-4   An unnecessary black out at the some end, but we achieved our minimum goal – a secure stay at this division after 2 matches. After a 1-day break, we will play against France and Hungary for promotion. I still think Hungary are the favorites, but we can compete with them.
    • GERB actually aren't pro-Russian. They have always been pro-EU and Europe oriented and joining Shengen and the Eurozone happened in part because of them, though with a huge delay. They however have very well used the pro-EU stance to hide the rampant stealing of public funds and corruption surrounding their 10+ year ruling, which is the main reason people protested against them so many times. A bit Orban-esq they have also pretty much filled all institutions with their people, so it's hard to clean their mess.   Radev on the other hand has always been a pro-Russian proxy, though unlike Orban he is much more calculated with his words and actions. He is taking the "diplomatic" and "national" approach, though if you listen to his comments they are clearly favouring Russia.    Even though this guy was President for many years, that position is without much power here, so he hasn't had the chance to do much trouble. But he did manage to plant his seeds in many people's heads, as he always blamed whichever party was ruling for all the troubles in the country and many believe he is our new "saviour".    Compared to Hungary, the situation here is much more complex, as there isn't anyone as popular are Magyar and there are several strong parties, which always get practically the same number of votes.   Radev is surely winning, though the hopes are for the sane people to do damage control. But the truth is there aren't any many good choices, so it's going to be a lose-lose situation.    I don't expect a coalition to be formed, but it will depend on the number of parties passing the 4% threshold. So yeah, we are once again hitting the never-ending elections cycle, which the country has spun into since 2021.     
    • Awesome story > someone who is destroying cycling      
    • Memes starting everywhere    Oh ! Please Mr. the vicepresident please come to visit our country before our elections as well !   
    • I really like the Look of the Games for these. Whoever did the branding certainly earned their keep    First medals to be awarded tomorrow in judo and wrestling. Live-streaming on PanamSports Channel and ODESUR YouTube. Results system: https://results.panama2026.org/#/schedule/calendar
