But Pelikan Opus can cycle backwards!

Fidesz-KDNP is on track to ~28% of the seats with ~30% of the electorate. That's a larger electorate share than in 2014. Then, they got 67% of the seats with 28% of the electorate. Thanks to lower turnout and their electoral engineering. Now that very engineering has hit them hard. “Loop closed.”

... definitely Peter ;-)
Very happy for him tonight.

single-member district results rn at #HungarianElections –– landslide for #TISZA, #Fidesz is washed away. Also a personal 1st: voted for someone who actually won the first time in my life

🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🎉 THREAD 1/2
At 45% of the votes counted, the official projection of the National Election Office gives Tisza Party 135 seats in Parliament—a clear constitutional supermajority.

THIS IS A LANDSLIDE! This is a democratic revolution against a corrupt and authoritarian regime.

Hungary's population pyramids on four elections years:

1990 - the 1st free and fair
2010 - Fidesz's return to power
2022 - the previous
2026 - today's

Per the UN WPP '24 estimates.

NB not all adult inhabitants can vote, and some Hungarian citizen live abroad and are thus not in the pyramids.

Orbán’s Spying Kit Revealed: Israeli Surveillance Tool Combined with Hungarian Technology - VSquare.org Intelligence agencies of Viktor Orbán's government have been secretly using Webloc — a mass surveillance tool that tracks hundreds of millions of people via smartphone advertising data — making Hungary the first confirmed EU country to deploy it, in likely violation of GDPR. Moreover, our investigation confirms the existence of "homegrown" OSINT and spyware tools.

Many thanks for setting this up and sharing. Do I get this right - this reduces token usage and (somewhat) increases speed since it reduces the need for Claude to search the codebase? Thx!

Wait, he doesn't mention Soros? 🙃

A rectangular promotional graphic for the useR! 2026 Conference. On the left, large bold text reads “useR! 2026 Conference Warsaw,” followed by the dates “6–9 July 2026” and the location “Warsaw School of Economics & Online.” The typography is clean and modern, set against a white background. On the right, a 2×2 grid of four square panels displays a fractal‑style geometric pattern: each square shows a progressively more detailed zoom‑in of a swirling, branching, blue‑and‑purple fractal shape on a light background. Beneath the main graphic, a banner states: “The useR! 2026 Call For Proposals is open until March 8th!” The overall design is bright, mathematical, and visually structured, emphasizing both the conference branding and the CFP announcement.

Happy to release the initial version of ParlAT, an #rstats package wrapping the API of the Austrian Parliament @parlament.gv.at . If you are a researcher, student, journalist, simply someone interested in the AT Parliament, ParlAT hopefully comes as a helpful tool. werkstattcodes.github.io/ParlAT/

The "Pudels Kern" is the API key.
