According to the central Election Commission in Kosovo the vote turnout nationally was 32.90% (that might change a bit). About 661,434 voters out of 2,025,105 registered voted. This is even less than the national vote in Feb. This is a very bad sign for democracy & governance.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Vacherot beat his cousin! What an amazing, lovely story. From 204 --> 40 something

that there will be revenge attacks on Alb businesses in the north. They don't care about the new businesses but the old ones like Te Mons that have been there for years. but there is already a lot of security out & plenty of helis this morning from KFOR.

Also on Friday, 2 Alb men are charged w/attempted kidnapping after trying to force a Serbian girl into their car near Zvečan. Ppl are also excited bc last night Albania knocked Serbia out of World cup qualifying in Serbia. Many ppl saying lets vote & win now & shut the Albs up. Some worried...

I am wondering tho if Djokovic will play Oz. I think he’ll want one more year cause making it to the semis of Shanghai isn’t bad. But. Losing to Vacheron. Always losing to Sinner or Alcaraz. This must hurt.

Bronwyn Jones @bronwynjones.bsky.social · 1d

First cousins Arthur Rinderknech and Valentin Vacheron meet in the Shanghai final tomorrow. 204 ranked Vacheron beat Djokovic. Random.

The Filth have an announcement on R360

Bronwyn Jones @bronwynjones.bsky.social · 3d

It would be the most sensible thing to happen. Why reinvent the wheel?

Bronwyn Jones @bronwynjones.bsky.social · 3d

www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/o... "A better scenario for the wider game, perhaps, would be for the financial backers of R360 to switch horses and support the sport’s existing competitions and teams instead."

Senior rugby figures believe rebel R360 league all but dead after unions’ statement

Being reported that Wales did not sign the anti-R360 letter because they are wary of the possibility that top players will join that league if they cut regions

Which to me is a tacit admission that they know their ‘optimal solution’ will not provide adequate pathways to resource the national side

And I still say flush it right down the toilet. The women’s game does not need a Lions tour.

Also I don’t think R360 is going to happen. If one match gets played I’ll buy Dubai rugby merch

He may say this now but WRU can’t go again the other Unions. Especially not RFU. I’m not buying it
