Curb your enthusiasm, Hungary-celebrators. Europe is a giant game of whack-a-mole
Christian Thiels@christianthiels.eurosky.social · 4mo ago"The election was the Balkan country’s eighth in five years — amid rolling political crises and fragile coalitions — and 62-year-old former air force commander Radev used his newly created Progressive Bulgaria party to break the impasse." @politico.eu www.politico.eu/article/bulg...
Same, I’m an atheist but I still have no problem being with the Pope on this one!
Gayton Gomez@gpgomez.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis is not a difficult situation. I'm an extremely lapsed Catholic at best and I have no problem at all choosing the Pope above Trump. One of them is a good and holy man, and the other is a grifting narcissistic vengeful selfish lying rapist. If this is a tough choice for you, look inward.
With headlines like these, it is important to bear in mind that Orban has so gerrymandered Hungary’s electrical system that it possible for Orban to win the election even while losing the popular vote by a large margin. So… ‘Hungarians decide’ in a way means ‘a few Hungarians in certain districts’

Entirely plausible that they would want to do this. But is it really plausible that they would present the plan in a written document in that sort of language? (Genuine question, I don’t know)
Sam Bagenstos@sbagen.bsky.social · 5mo agoFascinating. wapo.st/4v10TeD
Donald Trump's Pentagon is going to buy millions of dollars of drones from Donald Trump's sons. But *do* go on more about the corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden.
The President of the United States has said that no-one expected Iran to retaliate to the U.S.-Israeli attack by firing missiles at various U.S. allied countries in the Gulf, though this was widely and publicly predicted by political leaders and respected experts all over the region and wider world
The President of the United States has said that Iran was a couple of weeks from having a nuclear weapon. This is in direct contradiction to the CIA’s report that Iran had not resumed its nuclear programme. He did not acknowledge this contradiction, it appears he was unaware of it
Has the President of the United States ever talked about a book that he read in a way that suggested he had actually read it?
The president of the United States says he can free Cuba, or take it, do anything he wants with it because “they’re a very weakened nation right now” and still they let him continue to be president
The president of the United States claims that maritime drones don’t exist on the basis that “if they did we would destroy them” and people continue to act like that’s ok to have him as president
Perhaps everyone should stop doing anything except pointing out the unbelievable things Trump says.
Schooley@schooley.bsky.social · 5mo agoI think the President musing about killing people "just for fun" would have resulted in every major paper demanding impeachment in the before times.
Wow. I wonder how you sleep after something like that
Anton Gerashchenko@antongerashchenko.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe warhead of a Russian Kh-101 missile flew directly into the bedroom of a house in Vasylkiv in #Kyiv region during the massive Russian attack on March 14 A 19-year-old girl was asleep there at that moment.Thankfully,the warhead didn't detonate.The girl's mom was also in the house,she's ok,as well
Sometimes I really feel like Bob Dylan’s Ballad of a Thin Man captures the whole condition of being a journalist, in any circumstances - not just a music reporter in the sixties
I just saw Kim Gordon name The Wizard of the Kremlin as her fourth favourite film of all time and so now Sonic Youth are cancelled. Greet news for me cos I always felt bad for not listening to more Sonic Youth.
