I was thinking this morning how both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan would have been delighted to see a Westward-looking, centre-right party defeat a pro-Russian autocrat in a former Eastern Bloc country.

strive to govern in such a way that when you’re soundly defeated enormous crowds don’t gather in the streets to sing we are the champions

🚨 We are hiring! The University of Virginia’s Department of Media Studies invites applications for an Assistant Professor of Media Studies on the academic general faculty. This is a three-year, tenure-ineligible appointment with the possibility of renewal, though not guaranteed.

In Budapest, locals tore down Orban’s anti-Ukrainian posters and celebrated Magyar’s election victory in various ways. A Hungarian soldier shouted to the crowd from the stage that the government's attitude toward Ukraine had been absurd and had only weakened Hungary's position.

We need historians because the past is never just the past. Every policy debate, public conversation, and cultural shift is shaped by what came before. Historians help us understand context, trace change over time, and recognize what’s at stake. #TalkAboutHumanities 🗃️

Pope Leo is no angel.

Well, that's a wonderful project!

you jest but when was the last Inquisition? they're asleep at the wheel over at the Vatican

Much love and appreciation for the words of support and encouragement. 3:30 am in Budapest, what a night. It’s like we won the World Cup. ⚽️😳 Maybe tonight that’s what Hungary did. Fighting for and reclaiming a democracy in any corner of the world is cause for celebration. ✊🏻

Glücksbringer.

Péter Magyar: “Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again.”

Magyar says he’s starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. “The EU doesn’t have to worry anymore.”

“Ruszkik haza!” on the Budapest metro after the vote!

‘Hungary, Europe!’ Spontaneous chant I just heard on streets of Budapest … Supermajority means Tisza really can dismantle the Orban system… and Orban has conceded… It will be a tough road ahead but truly hard to imagine a better result… I’ll be writing about it soon…

A huge, globally significant, victory tonight in Hungary

I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist. 100 days in — and we’re just getting started.

Today more than ever.

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

“We were talking about the academic rigor of a liberal arts education, and essentially how it can be updated for the current economic status and job market”

Thank you for this - glad you enjoyed the book!

I was familiar with a few specific time periods of Haitian history, but this book helped fill in the gaps while telling a compelling story. Mostly a political history, with a few tangents into art and culture. #bookreview #booksky ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I'm thinking about all the people googling "Avignon papacy" or looking it up right at Wikipedia, and I love this for all of us. It gives me hope.

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

The #Artemis II astronauts said they needed more superlatives to describe their view of the eclipse, when the Sun was behind the Moon and its near surface was faintly illuminated by Earthshine

Pope Leo XIV understands the assignment

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Can you imagine how many people approved it before publishing? Shameful.

This thread is a balm. So much inspiring work.

"Should We Panic?" This question could, of course, be applied to many different things right now. But in this case it is regarding the USMNT & the World Cup. 😬 soccerpolitics.org/united-state...

Great speech, dude.

Court full of strategies to leverage the narcissism. The ego rage. The spray of damage.

A really good thing. At the US National Archives, the (signed, parchment copy of the) Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights now joined in the permanent exhibit in the main rotunda by the Emancipation Proclamation and the 19th amendment. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/a...

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...
