Wut? French blue was always darker than EU blue. No wonder nobody noticed.

I was also surprised to see it in our evening TV news. I never noticed that, and I quite follow French stuff a lot because I lived there a couple of years. :lol:

 

Apparently last year Macron suddenly decided to swip the blue to a even more darker "Navy" blue, so now it looks almost like black, even though almost no one in the world has noticed lol, even Totallympics has now the non-existing blue in :FRA:lol:

So apparently this flag ain't new but just goes back to the traditional version. Again, people just don't notice that because everyone probably realizes it's dark blue (and different to Russian blue or Swedish blue).

I like the easily understood wording of the PM.

 

I don't always agree with him, but in this case he is absolutely right. Call them for what they are instead of pretending they're worth some nicer term.

Very tragic night here. :( First there was a fire at a retirement home that killed 9 people. Now, when i woke up, found out there was a Macedonian bus accident, in the middle of the night, with 52 people, 45 of which died, many children of them. :( :(

 

They were 4 buses returning to Macedonia from vacation to Istanbul, when one of them hits the railing, flips over and bursts into flames. Only 7 people manage to escape. Our police/medics said they haven't seen such horrific scenes, when arriving. Macedonian PM and other diplomats are already here as well.

Horrible indeed :cry: 

 

Also yet another reason why I've got so much respect for first responders of any kind, imagine being a firefighter, police officer, medic or whatever and walking into a horror scene like this...how they are able to put it aside for a second and actually help, I don't know.

Meanwhile in Wisconsin a registered sex offender who was released on 1,000 USD bail for running over the mother of his child run over a Christmas parade and killed five people. Oh yeah, the guy is black and all the deceased are white hence why the BLM movement stays silent on the matter. I wonder if this guy will use the race card to escape getting jailed for life?

    • 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
