@biophilo @MehmetMars7 There are no more big classical tournaments for the rest of the month, and we haven’t had an announcement of another match. When the official December rating list comes out, Erdogmus will at Worls #47.

If you recall my Putinization checklist, getting media companies into the hands of the leader's friends and family is quite high.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Except we have multiple documented cases where people with REAL IDs were handcuffed and detained for hours because DHS refused to believe they were citizens and claims their documents were fake.

I don’t want to live in a papers, please society. Most Americans agree with that.

If you ever wondered how all those people could remain close to Epstein even after his 2008 conviction, just look at the people who were happy to have dinner with MBS last night. It’s all one big club for the elite and wealthy, and having money outweighs any heinous crimes you may have committed.

[Charles DeLoach @DeLoach_NC]

The “don’t tread on me crowd” now wants you to carry your papers at all times and be prepared to be stopped and questioned for no reason but the color of your skin.

They’ve never been against overreach. They just want it to overreach against the people they’re bigoted toward.

[Boston Smalls @smalls2672]

Maga when this is over. You guys really, really need to reassess yourselves.

How many bridges did you burn with friends and family because you cared more about some 80 year old level 3 skinner with dyed platinum blonde hair covered in 10 pounds of make up then you did about your family, friends, country. Just wanted to watch your fellow country men suffer. To own the libs. You couldn't even be bothered with what was in your best interest. Now we all get to go through this colossal shit sandwich together. Why? Why goddammit? You ignore historians scholars. scientist while listenening to podcasters, conspiracists and snake oil salesmen. Wait till you find out what the doge guys have been doing to our government. We're so smoked you dont even know it.

We have been under attack by some of the most vicious, brutal evil people that exist. We are being targeted via mass brainwashing. Mass psyop. Purposely being destablized by the Epstein class to create chaos and suck as much wealth out of the country as they can. What do you think these tariffs are really about? Lol jobs? Lol Trade deficits? Watch who benefits when scotus overturns the tariffs. *cough Lutnick *cough.

Truth is, you've been radicalized. You hate your fellow country men and your country because you hate yourselves. Misery loves company. So much so you attacked the Capitol chanting to hang the vp because pedo goldmember couldn't accept he lost.

Where's all this evidence? Reports? Documentation of the election being stolen that trump has claimed? It doesn't exist. He lied. He actually lost 60 court cases. He set you up. He knew he was going to lose because of how much he messed up the pandemic and started the lie early about mail in ballots. Then he told you to not use mail in ballots. Then you acted surprised when a bunch of mail in ballots came in for Biden. Then he raised 250m to stop the steal. What did he do? He Pocketed the money. Didn't even pay his lawyers. Giuliani begged. It was pathetic.

Make no mistake this is America's Emperor Nero. The republic is about to go through some things. We'll see how bad donny lashes out before he's retired but the economy is getting turned inside out. So much so trump now won't even release the new ecenomic numbers.

Honestly I think you guys shouldn't be allowed to vote for a generation. You guys need a time out. Really think about what you've done.

@gutsy_gambit Only 1 rapid or blitz event can count, I think. Nodirbek is the only one left.

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@ChessNumbers @chess_insights I think Nodirbek is the only one left with a mathematical chance. He needs to win LCC and win/maybe get second in WRC or WBC, and needs Pragg to get 0 points for the rest of the year (and no one else to pass him). Very very difficult.

@sf9801705496 @PHChess Magnus played it in 2023 and won it, so it does have some value of its own

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

They abolished themselves. As happened in Russia, where they were so afraid of standing up that they kept ceding their power to Putin and eventually they had no power left, and it didn’t matter what they thought.

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@rbooth @edels0n The Markets podcast was always focused on business? It’s the others that veered off course.

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@keti_chess @VBkramnik Russian to the core

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@ChessProblem Bring it full circle! You’re only allowed to play World Rapid and Blitz if you were once a world champion.

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@absurdistoic Gukesh should have banged the table. If Hikaru lost that match, Hikaru would probably have banged the table.

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@ianbremmer Or leader of the LDP

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@absurdistoic Sagar clearly not used to not holding a camera

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@Ruanpablo1997 @AlvarAlonso A year maybe. That many in 6 months is crazy. Even someone like Fabi may not play 30 classical games in 6 months.

Tsundoku is a Japanese word referring to the practice of accumulating books that are bought but not yet read. Might be my new favorite word…

[Anna Gilman @annie0nc]

@chess24com Gukesh’s and Vincent’s matchups are probably the most interesting to watch out of these
