Younger Hungarians saved their country from the influence of older, outdated voters who are easily swayed.
Similarly, younger voters in the United States are poised to save us from the influence of the baby boomer generation, and I eagerly anticipate this change.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan
Brazil and Hungary managing to vote out their right wing dictatorial presidents is giving me a great deal of hope lately where it's been in short supply
We can all learn a lot from the (many young!) people of Hungary who have protested peacefully for years and who turned out in high numbers to vote their candidate and his party into power tonight!
And this despite the fact that Orbán had backing from BOTH Russia and the USA!
Well done, Hungary!! ✨

Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.
It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
I’m so inspired by the people of Hungary! 🇭🇺 ❤️

Happening now: an anti-war protest is gathering in Chicago's Federal Plaza over US/Israeli attacks on Iran & Lebanon.
Iranian & US officials announced a 2 week ceasefire yesterday. That's now in question after Israel extensively bombed Lebanon earlier today, reportedly killing over 250 people.

I wanted a way to explore Unicode by visual similarity, not just by name or codepoint, so I built Charcutrie.
It lets you browse characters that look alike, search across scripts and symbols, and even sketch a shape to find matching glyphs. (pretty badly for now :D)
