Screenshot of a post from The Guardian's liveblog on the elections in Hungary. The journalist writes: "After delivering his speech, Orbán kind of shrugs his arms to someone in the front row as if saying “what else was I supposed to do. He looks defeated."
🇭🇺 🇪🇺
After Orban:
Huge turnout (could be close to 80%). Constitutional majority in play for TISZA.
If TISZA Party wins in 🇭🇺, this is not a change of government. It is a potential regime rupture.

Closeup labeled cassettes. Each one has individual hand drawn art
One mixtape cassette is pulled out: “True Love”
An artistic installation had an enlarged gray mixtape, like three feet long, showing the art on the label. The cassette is mounted to the wall with an interpretive label
I just want to point out that @umassboston.bsky.social has the Massachusetts Hip-Hop Archive. Almost all the recordings are digitized. But the mixtapes themselves are little pieces of art.

The last text message Zuck ever sent me was the night before they renamed the company to Meta, telling me to pay attention in the morning because he thought I'd be really excited by what they were going to announce.
The next morning I kept waiting for the thing he thought I'd be interested in.

Did my mom take me to Prince's Purple Rain tour in the Orange Bowl when I was seven? Yes. Was it potentially age-inappropriate? Yes. But did she buy a tee at the concert and hermetically seal it in a box in the garage for me to find 41 years later? Also yes

Screenshot einer automatisch ins Deutsche übersetzten Website mit dem Text: "Was ist hier los Villa wird von Grifo repariert. Er hat einen Greif dafür Seit Februar 2025 rekonstruieren wir die Villa. Um wie ein neues oder zumindest gewaschenes Aussehen zu sein, weißt du was. Wir konzentrieren uns hauptsächlich auf die Dachterrasse, wo die Mieter in Bademänteln ihre Morgenkaffees genossen. Wenn es wieder aufgeht, werden wir es dir sagen."
Viel Erfolg, Grifo!
