Sweden’s Prime Minster is a such stable person at crisis situations. It was more important to fix is tie. And then the Irony that Sweden’s new Health Minister collapsed in her first press conference as minister. This is how I see Sweden’s government: as a big fat disaster. :facepalm:

What`s political option is it?

Αrent 3rd party in votes as i see in Wikipedia?? Nepali congress and communist party unified (ML) are the biggest parties

CPN (UML) is ideologically very close to CPN (MC). They were seen as overground front of Maoist during civil war and were in alliance with Prachanda for quite some time. And since the end of civil war, apart from couple of years, PM has been from these 2 parties only.

And has sadly died.  Urge anyone to watch his videos on YT - he regularly debated & won using polite language & classical rules of rhetoric.  So naturally the Left hated him.

Political murders are always bad, the Democrats being killed earlier this year, this, it's all bad.

 

Don't need to feel too bad though, a certain Charlie Kirk said empathy is just a made-up 'New Age' term, so we certainly shouldn't have it now, I guess.

I can’t abide all the Christians/Muslims/Jews who cite a book to want people to be unhappy.  I’ve had enough of it growing up. 

Also the kind of person who was so utterly fanatic in his religious views, he said he'd let his own 10-year old daughter carry a baby to the end if she'd end up pregnant from abuse. That's horrifying shit.

 

Obviously it doesn't justify killing anyone (before people say stuff like "oh, so it's ok to shoot him then?"), but besides doing lots of debating (which in itself is certainly a good thing), he has said plenty of awful stuff.

Exactly, I don't have any difficulty reconciling that Charlie Kirk was a bad person in life and that his assassination was horrific and unjust. I just don't think we should start lying to make people look more palatable once they die.

    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
    • Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).
    • Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.   
    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
    • badminton queen Carolina Marin announced that she can't take part into the home Europeans in the upcoming weeks because of her injured knee and calls it a career 😭  
    • yes, there are (or there was, at least) don't forget that the women's 800m had world and olympic champions like Semenya, Jelimo and Nyonsaba...basically, it was 10 years of DSD winners only the same Athing Mu was suspected to be DSD (never confirmed, but somehow she totally disappeared after Tokyo) then, there were the 2 girls from Namibia (1 won a medal over 200m in Tokyo) in Italy we have the living scandal Valentina Petrillo (a paralympian!!!), who's actually a real man not to mention the weightlifter from who took part into the Tokyo Games so, it's a real problem all around the globe, not just a US crusade against a few woke idiots  
    • First big meet ofthe Outdoor Tour is the Maury Plant from Melbourne tomorrow morning.  Good few people from Poland last weekend have made the long plane trip to Oz.   https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-continental-tour/news/world-olympic-stars-maurie-plant-melbourne
    • With the MLB season getting underway and with the recent conclusion of the World Baseball Classic, here are the players on opening day rosters broken down by place of birth (including injured players):    United States: 694  Dominican Republic: 89  Venezuela: 60  Cuba: 20  Canada: 19  Japan: 14  Puerto Rico: 14  Mexico: 7  Panama: 5  Colombia: 3  Curacao: 3  South Korea: 3  Aruba: 1  Bahamas: 1  Germany: 1  Great Britain: 1  Honduras: 1  Italy: 1  Nicaragua: 1  Peru: 1  Taiwan: 1
