All This Shit™️ gets more embarrassing every day.

As we await Hungary's election both for the liberation of its people and as portent for our own, let us recall the role that ridicule, resistance and refusal has played. Yes, elections can be turning points but only if movements make them so.

That looks like volcanic lava, not people 👀

We need to talk a bit about how utterly absurd the March heatwave was in the USA. This heatwave would have been impossible without a boost from climate change, but even with climate change it remains a deeply unlikely event. A thread looking at some of the numbers. 🧵

How about a version 2.0, you fucks? Better yet rebuild the thing from scratch.

On Sunday, Hungary will hold parliamentary elections. These elections loom large the world over. Viktor Orbán is a central figure in the international far right and his loss would be blow to familiar figures like JD Vance and Donald Trump, who are his pupils. snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

Ungarn….

When you are here to talk about what your genocidal bosses are up to.

Imagine going to space and making it home only to find your achievement isn’t good enough - it needs to be faked with AI slop.

The man's annoying tendency to write/speak in superlatives — about every fucking thing — is enough to make a person want to punch him the face.

Jasmine El-Gamal is a national sec. analyst/former Middle East advisor at the Pentagon We used to kill a commander, another one comes on board. They prepare for these scenarios decades in advance... It just demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of Iran & how the Iranian regime operates. 1/5

Kherson was never just a dot on a map. This is the heart of the free 🇺🇦 south, but today 🇷🇺 is trying to erase it. They've turned this thriving city into a testing ground for modern terror. It's no longer just shelling, it's a deliberate hunt for civilians. 3/5 m.youtube.com/watch?v=y7az...

Hi All, @timothysnyder.bsky.social and I did a Substack Live a little while ago. We covered Russia-Ukraine, US-Iran, and how Trump connects everything between them. Also, a shout out from both of us for Come Back Alive. Have a listen open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Old TPM fave Sebastian Gorka has been pretty under-the-radar on Trump’s second term National Security Council, but now he pops up as a leader of what you might call the internationalization of the administration’s effort to criminalize left-wing opposition: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

In honor of Vance's visit to Hungary, where he will campaign for Viktor Orban, I am reposting my article from last year. I argued that Orban's Hungary is one of the poorest countries, and certainly the most corrupt and least free country, in the entire EU. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

When I say this, what I’m trying to get at is that breakdown in democratic society is about a lot more than voting. I don’t think any of us can escape some responsibility for a country where 50% say they feel isolated and 74% say they barely know their neighbors.

Crowded House - Four Seasons In One Day

When it comes to write the history of the last 16 months it will be about the weakness of US institutions to stand up to Trump, but the growing willingness of other states to do so. Trump’s major mistake was thinking the rest of the world was as craven as the GOP.
