Magyar calls on the figurehead head of state Tamás Sulyok, as well as all high justice officials and other high officials appointed by Fidesz to resign immediately or they will be removed by the new government.

He also announces a constitutional reform and that Hungary is joining EPPO.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

not to stick my thumb in anyone's eye, something i never do because i hate doing it, but i do recall a bunch of people who were suddenly experts on hungarian politics saying voting orban out would never work and anyone who thinks otherwise is a rube

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's opposition leader Peter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded his election loss in a phone call.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

I think it's really an underrated moral issue (let along a political economy one) that we've sort of let scams and scam adjacent activities (sports betting, car dealerships, most retail interactions with skilled trades, crypto, etc) pervade the economy from top to bottom.

Emergency Prices: How Private Equity Captured the Ambulance Market Emergency service costs have been going up for years, frustrating city officials. One reason seems to be private equity, which bought up ambulance makers and raised prices.

There's an ambulance market (I could stop there), private equity has rolled it up, and it's now delaying deliveries, tripling the cost for cities & creating shortages across the country.
This is what happens as we shout about what podcasts politicians should go on

but yeah sure the economy is doing just fine, and all of this is a delusion manifest from my silly bimbo brain that can’t comprehend macroeconomics.

i’ve stopped taking nearly all of my medications except for estrogen, which i have only because doctors helped me stockpile over one years worth when trump got re-elected.

i currently have no health insurance. i have been kicked off medicaid 3 times, and only had it functioning correctly for a stretch of 1-2 months.

i have not been able to collect any unemployment benefits during this period.

i’ve applied to more than 1 job per day on average for the full duration of this period of unemployment, most of which have been 1, 2, 3, or more levels below my staff/principal expertise.

i’ve been unemployed for 2 years despite over a decade of experience across a range of gig work, agencies, and companies in both design and software eng.

i was the primary creator and maintainer of a design system for one of the most recognizable video/media tech companies on earth for 3+ years.

One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.

there's another part of this, which is that a lot of job categories are starting to get eliminated, and "retraining" to try to work in a new field almost never works at scale, so if your job is of the type that's getting vaporized, it can be very difficult to pivot

It is notable that the hot debate in AI engineering is exactly which markdown files are most important to feed AI (skills, memory, tool instructions) and in which order to feed them to get the best output. Feels that this is likely a temporary state of affairs in the development of agents

my grand theory of vibecession is that multiple contradictory things can be true at once, and that this kind of complexity is more or less impossible to constructively discuss on a social media platform with character limits and severe context collapse problems.

Polls have closed in Hungary. A record 77.8% turnout.

No exit polls, but shouldn’t be long till the actual results roll in.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

"What is true is sacred. What has been suffered. What is beautiful."

"So the Telling tries to find the truth in events ... or the pain, or the beauty?"

"No need to try to find it," said Unroy. "The sacredness is there. In the truth, the pain, the beauty. So that the telling of it is sacred."

I mean tell me "we gradually transitioned from a democratic welfare state to full on race communism" doesn't sound like the set up to a banger lost Ursula K Le Guin novel

I have a perfect idea for fixing and funding this app simultaneously: make each reply cost $1, to be refunded when it is liked by the OP.

People saying that student protestors were ineffective in protesting for Gaza really are missing that public sentiment has swung pretty fast and far on that, and they were absolutely a part of that.

And we can tell, people, when you don’t actually believe this. We see it in how you act even when you think you’re hiding it.

Work on yourselves.

Also step outside, the students are protesting

"Where are all the campus protestors?" ask the grinning ghouls who cheered on the brutal suppression of campus protests
