Hungary election live: Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian election after 16 years in power Long-serving prime minister beaten by opposition after early results showed clear lead

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

"At some point if the ship doesn’t turn around, maybe it will start taking on water or listing badly or hit an iceberg, or perhaps the iceberg has been there all along and is named Donald Trump."

Bunnies in a raft pull up next to a spaceship capsule, which has just splashed down and is floating in the open sea. Visible in the capsule, two bunnies wave at the ones in the boat.

Science is good. We should fund it.

Things that work: giant rocket, very precise math, orbital mechanics, cameras, iPhones

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

*talking to teenage militant atheist self*

current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church

teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government

current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

there it is, all 7 continents

because of ethics in game journalism

One crazy day that defined the decline and fall of American empire | Will Bunch Over 24 hours, a deadly jet crash, militarized airports, insider trading, and a killer heat wave define a nation in rapid decline.

This day had everything...bad. A jet crash and endless lines at failing airports, watched by menacing ICE agents, with an obscene case of massive war profiteering, topped with climate denial

How one crazy day defined the end of the American century. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/lagu...

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.

ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.

The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.

Budgets are moral documents.

It took U.S. years to lose a war in Vietnam. Trump lost one in days. | Will Bunch It's increasingly clear that Trump's war of choice in Iran has failed spectacularly. America learned nothing from past war failures.

U.S. leaders were told: "declare victory and go home" in Vietnam as early as 1966, but fought for 7 more years and thousands of pointless deaths

The Trump regime has lost an even more senseless war in Iran in just 2 weeks. The time for leaving is now

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism

A mad king’s illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

My instant reaction at 3 a.m. yesterday was not whether Khamenei would be killed or oil prices or anything else but this

This undeclared, unexplained war is illegal. Full stop

28 hours later, it is still the worse abuse of power in U.S. history. Impeach

Don’t spend the precious moments of your life watching an old rapist lie to you on TV tonight, do something healthier like chew on roofing nails

What made it such a great show is that it was entertaining and layered and explicitly political with excellent music, delightful surprise guests, stunning sets, a clear narrative, a shout out to ALL of the Americas and a cameo from Belcalis.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

This is an amazing half time special with profound depth and deep cultural layers.

Well done, Bad Bunny.
