Unbelievable! Not only an historical win, but they're getting supermajority! Real change is coming to Hungary and Europe! 🇭🇺

We eating cake tonight!! Fuck yes Hungary!

ORBÁN CONCEDED

Here's the map with 1/3rd of the votes counted. Tisza = blue; Fidesz = orange. The strength of the color tells you how far ahead the lead party is. It's a blow-out. Fidesz strongholds are falling to Tisza.

Oh I know, I always change them. I was just pointing out that they exist

Moving fast and breaking things is only really successful under a libertarian regime. That's very fixable.

Weird. Everytime, it's offered. Maybe that's because I have mandatory alt on.

Nominating "pollarded" for precisely this feeling of revulsion at AI text as per Maria's brilliant parallel.

It would! And for the world, too, as they are the channel that launders Russian influence. For Ukraine, specifically, as well.

For me it was discovering that I didn't need to be bored all the time, that there is meaning everywhere you so much as scratch the surface of anything, that we can reimagine the world and then change it.

I also suspect that the universe won't end, but that'll take some further proving.

Thinking of you Hungarian friends! We need your courage and resolve. 🇪🇺 🩷 🇭🇺 💪🏻
