This may be the most absurd idea of Trump's second term, which is really saying something

New: Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General. The US has encouraged Orbán to enter the race, even bringing him the initial idea of a joint U.S.-Russia-China candidacy. WSJ: wsj.com/opinion/viktor-orban…

Norway's controversial 2021–2024 reforms nearly doubled the tax on business wealth. Firms of affected owners did not invest less, and outmigration was limited to the very top, from @Mariusring nber.org/papers/w35854

Kasparov, who pretends to be a serious figure, is comparing one of the world’s most distinguished jurists, a former South African and ICC and Rwanda Tribunal judge, to a ‘Hamas bomb maker.’ These are not serious people. Just lazy pro-Israel partisans.

@Kasparov63Oct 9
Maybe next year they’ll give the Chemistry prize to a Hamas bomb maker.

Erdogmus blir veldig spennende i romjula
Anish Giri
@anishgiriSep 29
His rate of progress is unprecedented. I am curious to see whether he will plateau around the same level as other top players, just earlier, or whether he will take it a step further and dominate.🍿♟️🔥

On breaking the record for youngest 2700: "I'm giving a lot of time to chess, I mean I think I deserve these records. I'm giving my best all the time." On the game vs. Faustino Oro: "I was focusing on the game, not the opponent." -Yagiz Erdogmus #ChessOlympiad

Strålende OL-prestasjon av 18-åringen Aksel Bu Kvaløy. Vinner seks og tre remis. Likevel svakt OL for Norge siden de andre på laget skuffer. Også under pari i kvinneklassen. Men 🎉 for Aksel 😊♟️

I åpen klasse scoret Amar og Kassen poenget under forventet, dvs minus ti ratingpoeng på hvert, mens Urkedal tapte 17 poeng.
479
På kvinnelaget gikk Nina Hagesæther i null ratingmessig, mens de andre gikk litt eller mye i minus. Det er tøffe tak i OL med mange unge, sultne spillere.

Johan-Sebastian startet sterkt inkludert remis mot Caruana, men meget svak avslutning og dårlig prestasjon totalt. Kan ha blitt påvirket av styr rundt Forræder, hans harde spill både likt og mislikt av folk 😊
