But sure he is stark mad

Absolutely fucking brilliant.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

good riddance. Now get him TF out of #Congress too.

Another cool thing about parliamentary systems, none of this 2-3 month transition nonsense. You lost, get out

If you sexually assaulted someone, you should not be serving in Congress—[or as President]. Period.

I love that Orbán is going to be beaten by a guy named Peter Hungarian. Like if Trump went down to someone named John American.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

Fuck'em.

US President Donald Trump says the US Navy would immediately start blockading the Strait of ⁠Hormuz and would also interdict every vessel in international waters that had ⁠paid a toll to Iran. https://aje.news/x545rk

We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

Good luck, Hungary. We're rooting for you out here today.

Post from Dale Partridge claiming nobody wants to live in diverse neighborhoods

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries.

Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

An optimist

Unfortunately this is true.

My photo shows the golden canopic shrine made of gilded wood, which contained an alabaster chest housing the internal organs of Tutankhamun. The rectangular shrine has a canopy formed by four corner pillars that hold up a roof crowned witha freize of uraeus serpents with sun discs on their heads. There is a second freize of serpents with sun discs on the roof of the shrine itself. On each of the four sides of the shrine a goddess with open arms watch over the king’s internal organs. The goddesses are Isis, Nephthys, Neith, and Selket, who are identified by the hieroglyph on their heads

Here is Tutankhamun’s gilded wooden shrine, each side protected by one of four goddesses. Inside was an Egyptian alabaster chest with four alabaster canopic jars, each containing a miniature gold sarcophagus with the king’s internal organs.

219. Drunks, Lampposts, and the Birthright Citizenship Case Efforts to backfill academic support for the birthright citizenship executive order wouldn't have been possible without a Court open to such "scholarship."

A great definition if 'scholarship'.

'… meaningfully advancing … understanding…'

This is real

It’s being done in our name

Congressional Republicans are okay with this

It figures.

We had a great time. My second trip. Even over 8 years I was surprised how much had changed. The dig/renovation that was open the public (with the scaffolds) was great. You feel like you’re actually seeing history uncovered.

I was there last week! Must be wonderful to see when it’s empty of visitors.

Fascinating

Or the lack thereof.

Dr. Howard is absolutely correct. When I made my post about the Pfizer vaccine trial I had assumed they were doing a head-to-head with an another vaccine.

I assumed incorrectly. The placebo-controlled trial of Pfizer’s COVID19 vaccine was unethical and forced upon them by Vinay Prasad.

This lovely fresco is from Herculaneum. Like our pet rabbits, he loves his fruit and we see him here investigating plump, succulent figs.

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine.

They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal.

A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.

I gather you don’t agree with the DOJ’s assessment 🤣

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites
