x/friedrich-merz
— Oct 1, 2026
The AfD’s historic victories in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania mark a major breakthrough for Germany’s far right and intensify pressure on the political firewall against cooperation with the party. Despite broader gains across Europe, far-right parties remain divided over Russia, economic policy, Europe’s future and minority rights; one analysis attributes the AfD’s eastern German support more to post-reunification transformation than to a lack of democratic experience.

Texas Tech’s roster-spending push remains front and center as it reportedly spent around $5 million to keep Brendan Sorsby and has long been a leader in the Big 12, though recent estimates show BYU now closer to the pack and Tech not necessarily the most expensive. The narrative blends a high-stakes program-building push with a high-profile showdown against Houston, a test of whether Tech’s 2025 breakthrough can translate into sustained national power amid coaching tensions and fanfare about the program’s spending and strategy.

Across the late 1960s to the 1970s, breakthrough records reshaped careers and gender norms: Patty Pravo’s La Bambola became a feminist-tinged international hit after initial rejection, while Status Quo’s Pictures of Matchstick Men launched the band into international fame, signaling the era’s psychedelic-prog breakthrough.
