Is this the end of Viktor Orbán in Hungary? Over the past 16 years prime minister Viktor Orbán has turned Hungary into what he calls an ‘illiberal democracy’, using a parliamentary supermajority to effect constitutional control over institution...

Younger Hungarians saved their country from the influence of older, outdated voters who are easily swayed.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.

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!! ✨

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.

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).

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)
