I don't think you understand how Orban holds power. No, it won't be clean, and if he loses he'll just announce he won and the checks against that he stuffed with loyalists will back him.
Trump is the same.
There's only one proven way to get rid of kings, and it isn't voting.

Reminder: including alt-text on your images is helpful in many ways! It increases accessibility, can add context/detail, makes search more effective, & can improve your reach (a lot of us won’t re-share images without alt-text). If you set it as required in accessibility settings, you can’t forget!
This might be a Mandela Effect thing, but I distinctly remember watching a romcom movie with the plot of HIMYM before the TV show started, right down to their mother not being the on/off love-interest he actually ends up with.
I can't find any evidence it existed now.
No referendums are fucking stupid. Just rejoin. Vote for parties with rejoining in their manifesto.
He conned (an admittedly weak and stupid) UK parliament into a blatantly illegal war in Iraq for oil. He should be on trial in The Hague, so he's perfect for Trump's dictator-UN.
I used to park in that bottom left car park every day. I worked in Atlantic Pavilion at what was then Cabletime/Telewest (but is now Virgin Media).
I'd walk across Chavasse park, past all the homeless folks living under the court, to get lunch in town (Albert Dock was too expensive)
Aww, bless. I felt the same way in 1997. Then student loans, frozen public sector salaries, PPPs (which are now bankrupting schools/hospitals), no rollback of privatisation (at all), war crimes in Iraq, bailing out the banks, Mandelson.
They're not AS bad, but they are still the enemy.
Ah yes, the company deliberately named after the evil corrupting spyglass in LotR (you know, the one that corrupts people who use it while letting its master spy on them) has opinions about our ideology. We should totally take them seriously and in good faith.
After much painful digging and really poor migration docs: this is due to strict: true being the default and catch(e) forcing the exception type to unknown.
Setting "strict": false in tsconfig gets round all of these (for now).
My results from https://amiatechbro.com, I scored 6% for disruption.
I suspect quite a few lefties will get this, that one question about tearing down institutions I definitely agree with, it's just tech bros tear down USAID and I'd tear down ICE
I spend to much time in CSS, usually swearing profusely at overflow/scroll.
Oh, were you not watching this thread while Node devs argued for days about module resolution? You're a web dev? What the fuck is that? We write TS for Node, what kind of weird sick freak are you, running JS in a browser?
Screenshot of a TypeScript compile error - the terminal shows a failure because `catch(error) { error.name === '...` isn't allowed (as, stupidly, it thinks error is `unknown` rather than `any`). The code itself doesn't show the error.
New TypeScript is a bit shit.
Hundreds of errors and obtuse deprecations again 😔
new post on my personal blog.
i think these three areas often go unexplained, so hopefully this explains why some of these packages exist. these are fine to exist but the majority of developers shouldn't have to pay the cost for them.
Pity it's bollocks, every link from the story is dead.
It's gone round a few times, I managed to see the pilot last time, but the videos all got takedowns within a couple of days.
Currently that's to replace most white-collar workers with AI, so they can't be middle class anymore. "It's ok, we're not replacing _you_, just those lower class people. Don't be a Luddite!"
There's no such thing as middle class. The classes are people that own things, and the people that work and might lose their home if they stop. Middle class is a lie the owners use to divide the workers, so it shifts based on what they want.
Wait! Is that a Dante deluxe skin?
As a lawyer that would be his duty - even the most evil has a right to a fair trial.
Fucking shit in a PM though.
He's the epitome of Harry Potter politics - there's no structural problems here, it will all be fine if we just have someone nicer running the racist/ableist secret police.
He's a fun goofy one, with the least creased clothes, until he captures the bad guy in act 3 and cooks them until the meat just falls off the bone.
Oh thank GOD
Some Internet pirate ripped @mattczap.bsky.social's AMAZING animated version of Badger's "Star Trek" spec script from "Breaking Bad"
We commissioned this at Vulture in 2013, right when I started there as the video chief, but the original was lost in a server migration
LLAP, folks 🖖:
messy blackletter version:) 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
gonna get some prints of this for Gothcon next weekend<3
NEW: I’ve found an opaque financial vehicle owns a large chunk of the Observer. And neither it or the Guardian will say who it is. Why?
Well there is a clue. Which goes by way of Saudi Arabia…

I suspect he's a very good lawyer or civil servant - reliable, solution focused, able to dismiss the big picture and get to the details that win the case.
Utterly fucking toxic in any kind of leadership role though; this man should not be in politics.
Overall I'd say give it a go. It is very Marmite, I think folks will love it or hate it, but it's interesting in a way that a more conventional extraction shooter (like Arc Raiders) just isn't
PvP is usually best avoided, at least early game. You're trying to complete complex quests while other players are obstacles to that. Getting from objective A to B without fighting anyone (bots or players) yields the most progression.
Even the brutal TTK works for it, which I didn't expect. PvP is vicious and short, or intense games of cat and cat sneaking round the map trying to get the drop on each other as the time runs out. Loot is generally not worth much, so ganking noobs is a waste of time.
It bears some comparison to Escape from Tarkov, but a lot more depth and a lot less about the gun fetish. The guns in Marathon are 3D printed boxy toys that feel solid and plausible and are both pretty balanced and really enjoyable to use. It adds sparing abilities that change up gameplay.
After Destiny, this is oddly refreshing... no betrayal that your grinded meta gun became worthless in the next expansion, you don't even keep your guns.
I feel like Halo and Destiny went after a massive market appeal that's fickle and capricious. Marathon is going after a much smaller but much more loyal base.
And from the beginning they've been clear: each season is a full reset.
