Due to their declining quality I've been listening less #BBC and been picking up new #podcasts from the other parts of the #world and some are #US based. So I've been listening a lot of discussions about US elections and (from my #Eastern #European perspective) this has been kind of insane experience. Anyway, if you know some good not US focused podacasts in #EN or #GER, please share. I'm generally interested of #human #experience but also #music, #science, #knowledge, #innovation and #politics.

The #German @bsi published a new iteration on The State of IT Security in #GER.

Without having read all sections, they claim that high-impact #DDoS attacks are a growing and predominant issue due to the rise of geopolitical threat actors.

I also found a cool visualization provided in tandem: Tense Situation, Determined Responses: Cybersecurity in Germany 2024

All in all, an excellent work (as usually by the folks at #bsi )

Toni Kroos is one of the greats. He makes his final club appearance in #UCLfinal - his 717th club appearance (47 goals). Magnificent midfielder, tackling, controlling and passing - that through ball to Vinicius Junior for #RMCF against Bayern Munich, first signalling where he was going to put it, then delivering precisely, showed his technical and tactical class. Kroos is 34, bowing out at the top, still worth a starting place, still a force, popular and influential in helping young Real players settle in.

Versatile, can play deep midfield, or pushed on, central left or right. Intelligent, can read the game. Serial winner: 7 titles (3 Bundesliga/4 La Liga); five UCLs (1 Bayern/4 Real so far). Elite competitor, year after year, just look at those he’s up with: 151 #UCL appearances - level with Xavi and Muller. Only 4 with more games in #UCL: Benzema 152, Messi 163, Casillas 177, Cristiano Ronaldo 183. Kroos’ numbers make him one of the greats. And the way he plays the game, plenty of imagination, no simulation, superb team ethic, highlights why he's one of the greats.

And he’s a world champion, with #GER in 2014. #ENG fans sing of an emotional Kroos announcing his international retirement after Germany were beaten bu England at Wembley at Euro 2020. But he returned, and after Wembley tonight heads to the Euros. Has 108 caps, same as Klinsmann; behind only Lahm 113, Neuer 117, Schweinsteiger 121, Muller 128, Podolski 130, Klose 137 and Matthaus 150. A German great, a Real Madrid great, one of the game's greats. #BVBRMA

I am so HAPPY and ELATED that #USA is #OUT from #FIFAWWC23

The fact that they made it to the #RoundOf16 is a blessing to them. They couldn't even score properly in the Group stages.

Like #GER this #USA team should have been bounces out during the #GroupStages.

#FIFAWWC

These big teams have had their times and have been riding their egos too long. Now the world is seeing just how well other teams truly are.

Bye Bye. #USA. Don't let that football kick you on the way out.
