Today's morning read is issue 20 of The Sacrificers by @remender.bsky.social @andrelimaaraujo.com @davemccaig.bsky.social & @ruswooton.bsky.social I can't believe this is the penultimate issue. I have adored this series and will be gutted when it finishes. The artwork on this issue is amazing!!!

There are rare cases like @jasonkpargin.bsky.social , who makes sensational short videos, and whose work I've just became aware after bumping into his reels on Instagram. He's huge there and on Tik Tok (apparently), it's one of the few cases that it might have an actual impact in his book sales.
But will they suffer? Most people that slave themselves on Instagram, chasing trends and the algorithm see no real actual return on sales. Unless you are a constant viral sensation, the attention does not translate into tangible rewards. It's mostly a waste of time, at this point.

Terrible news but the official post says the first surgery went well. The very best wishes for the treatments ahead for one of the best of us.

Toxic asset being dumped by everyone. Do you remember Obama in Berlin, greeted like a rock star? What a contrast.
One of my favorites ever - moments like this being one of the reasons.
One of the all time great gaming moments.

I tell @nytimes that Hungary's “ election result is a game changer for Europe”

The EU is sitting on €6.4 *billion* in grants for Hungary
With a likely constitutional majority enabling Magyar to govern with a freehand, I suspect that money will flow quickly
Ukraine's €90bn loan will also be approved
Hungary will now move into the European mainstream
A defeat like this will change European politics. A few thoughts.
1. Running vs. EU has costs - publics aren't anti-EU and EU can hold back funding. Being an obstructionist jerk in Brussels has tangible political downsides. This strengthens the leverage of the EU and deters obstructionists. 1/
Diabolical
After literally killing Pope Francis, JD Vance has now politically killed Prime Minister Orbán too.
BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.
There's always a way.

Similar to Poland in 2023, young voters in Hungary seem to have turned out to vote in larger numbers than in earlier elections and - importantly so, as this poll suggests - have massively voted AGAINST the illiberal incumbent party.
