Hungary's anthem has a certain haunting element to it that's quite unique for anthems. www.youtube.com/watch?v=965L...

I need Orban to lose almost as much as I need oxygen to breathe, if for no other reason than the chud crashouts would be exceptional!

Air Canada employees at the lowest levels (flight attendants, gate agents, etc.) are expected to know French. It's completely reasonable for that to be a fundamental requirement of being the Air Canada CEO. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/224...

Not watching the new Harry Potter series so we don't financially benefit JK is such an astronomically small ask of people and it's astounding to me that people are so defensive about it.

Wall Street traders if a GOP President starts a war that causes a global energy crisis: I sleep Wall Street traders if a Democrat proposes raising taxes on millionaires by 1%: 🚨🚨🚨

I'm still in awe (derogatory) at this section from The Argument Mag on voter ID. Like, they directly admit that Trump conspiracism is driving the decline in trust in elections, but argue that voter ID would help for... reasons?

Regardless of the underlying merits of student protests or lack thereof, this thing where massive global events gets filtered through the lens of "but what are those kids doing" is so disgusting.

I do appreciate Charles Milliard talking about more funding for French language artists in Quebec. This province desperately needs people talking about proactive ways to strengthen French rather than getting caught in the constant populist reactionary cycle of PSPP and the CAQ on language.

The Contrapoints conspiracy video is a very good deep dive into the structure of this www.youtube.com/watch?v=teqk...

As someone who despises when sports teams move. I'm: 1. Very happy that Seattle will finally get their team back 2. Hoping that another sports team in Vegas will help squeeze out the Athletics and make John Fisher's plan a smoldering mess of a failure.

Orban has not faced a serious electoral challenge in more than 16 years and it's showing in his pretty desperate and flailing campaign.

Committing myself to learning nothing about the world around me, leftistly

You can't win a war by posting bro But I can, I can if I post good

Plaid Cymru needs to open a USA branch apparently

Voters next to Mar a Lago tonight:

Mar a Lago will be represented by a Democrat in the Florida State House!

Dems had really good persuasion gains here, and it looks like it's just going to be enough to win!

The coalition process here is going to be... lmao

So we sent them a memo saying pwease end war and the media is jumping to report on it like it's a finalized deal?

I've even see this nonsense play out at the local level. Some GOP members of the DuPage County Board were happy to say that ICE was going too far in private, but publicly mocked and criticized the Dems on the Board who proposed resolutions condemning ICE. Private fee fees are irrelevant!

We are Dina Boluarte We carry the flame

When Nate Silver rants about Blueskyism this is who he's being mean to

The not a war being led by the department of war is as over today as it was two weeks ago after America's top warfighters won a glorious victory in the not a war that we're still sending more warfighters to in order to continue winning the not a war.

It's just sad to me that Quebec, a place that genuinely has an amazing culture and history, has decided that Loi 21 is the thing, of all things, that they should die for. It's truly pathetic.

MattY is just as emblematic of the "posting is politics" brainrot as the DSA people he criticizes.

I do think that we as a society should value the lives of the elderly far more than we do. My Grandmother while in her 90s was still teaching her neighbors how to do floral arrangements. But to act like that requires keeping 80+ year olds in Congress is ridiculous.

I think the online nature of gambling in modern times makes it significantly worse on many levels. I probably would support alcohol prohibition if it was possible for your phone to become a beer tap with a credit card silently being charged everytime you pressed the beer me button.

Turns out one does not have to be a Senator (yet) to make incredible advancements in Senate brain.

This app needs less Lenin posting and more Taylor Swift posting

Bsky dot app for some reason: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk4o...

Good thing that this incident taught us how important key shipping channels are to global supply chains and we learned to not do anything to risk other key shipping lanes being blocked. Right?

Very good summary of what we know so far, and some broader points about what air accident investigations look for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb4C...

I desperately hope people/the media don't crucify the LGA controller. One person should not be controlling an airport of that size alone. No system can be made safe on the mindset of "just don't screw up." Safety comes from designing systems that protect us from our inevitable mistakes.

Scrolling social media at midnight, not because I'm a worthless crash out, but because I'm a serious foreign relations analyst waiting to see what horrors grandpa has decided to inflict.

This is a terminal senate brain statement

Is that good?

Some friends of mine are all in on the idea that oil companies and other companies are using the situation to "price gouge" and it's driving me nuts. The stuff behind the price is real, and the supply of the stuff is actually being restricted. Capitalists are not magically responsible for shortages.

We need to de-VVDify NATO

Everyone I know with practically any knowledge of global supply chains be like:

The thing is I find this a totally believable number (extremely derogatory towards the American people)

Kitten, I'm afraid we should worry

The Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable

This discourse would be like if I saw a couple of pictures of Milton Keynes and then declared that all of the UK is hopelessly boring like Milton Keynes.

Extreme Brexit vibes from PSPP, just mindlessly claiming that an independent Quebec would be richer because reasons www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

I'm sure United is so grateful that they got to avoid the hell of the Biden administration's more stringent refund rules. I'm sure this was a totally worthwhile tradeoff for their industry, alongside all the chaos with TSA and air traffic control staffing issues.

The thing is, Fox News is obviously doing this in bad faith, but it's much easier to highlight the bad faith arguments when the underlying point isn't well, completely true.

In the era of the Trump admin I'm afraid we have to retire the concept of "nobody is that stupid."

Still not a good result there but not nearly as disastrous as it initially appeared.

Was messing around on the @338canada.bsky.social QC125 Simulator and created this diabolical result. PLQ-PQ tied. No two party majority aside from PLQ-PQ possible

Being from Illinois I know that make a progressive billionaire governor is not always a bad strategy. Given the alternatives in the field Steyer is not a bad choice at this point.
