🇭🇺🎶 For the first time in Hungarian history, 'The forest is green / Pădure vergyé', the Hungarian Roma community's anthem—which gained that status after a 1993 civil rights protest—was played in parliament, at PM Péter Magyar's suggestion.

Many MPs were in tears, and so was I.

“Don’t ignore this. I don’t want to be killed. Don’t pass by the word ‘execution’ so easily, this may be the last time you hear my voice.”

And it was. No one listened.

Naser was only 25-year-old. Last week, one morning, right after the call to prayer, the interrogator, called his name, walked him to the gallows, kicked the chair, and that was it.

And we, the enlightened global community, did what we do best: we watched… we scrolled… and we moved on.

He is the fourth Kurdish prisoner to have received a death sentence for alleged espionage for Israel in recent days.

Wäre der Krieg zwischen dem Iran und den USA plus Israel vermeidbar gewesen? Ja, das wäre er. Natürlich nicht gestern und vorgestern, aber durch eine langfristige Politik. Da muss sich die internationale Gemeinschaft selbstkritisch befragen, ob sie richtig vorgegangen ist. Und die Antwort heißt: nein. Denn seit Ende der 1990er Jahre hat der israelische Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu immer wieder darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass der Iran nuklear aufrüstet und ballistische Raketen entwickelt. Er wurde dafür als Spinner, Nörgler und so weiter dargestellt. Jetzt wissen wir, was los ist.

Bislang ist es nicht gelungen, das Raketenpotenzial des Iran zu begrenzen, geschweige denn abzurüsten. Das Gleiche gilt für die Nuklearisierung des Iran und natürlich auch für die Gefährdung der gesamten Region im Nahen Osten, die Umzingelung nicht nur Israels, sondern auch der Golfstaaten und anderer gemäßigter sunnitischer Staaten.

Die internationale Gemeinschaft trägt für diese Situation ein gerüttelt Maß an Verantwortung. Viel reden, wie das jetzt Außenminister Johann Wadephul und sein französischer Amtskollege Jean-Noël Barrot getan haben, hilft nicht.

I know it's a sad tradition, worse under a president who loves adulation like no other, but GOP behavior during SOTU reminds me of the Comsomol congresses in the USSR when attendees had to rise at the command of designated older comrades and shout: Lenin, Party, Comsomol!

Russia is failing on the battlefield,
so it is trying to weaponise winter.

The EU is responding with the biggest ever winter aid package. Just today, we provided an extra 500 generators and €50 million for energy support.

In parallel, we increase pressure on Russia. Today, the EU blacklisted Russia for risk of money laundering.

This will slow down and increase the costs of transactions with Russian banks.

In diesem Video erzähle ich aus meiner Perspektive, warum ich vor Gericht gegen eine Filmproduktion stehe. Es geht nicht um persönliche Befindlichkeiten, sondern um vertragliche Zusagen und Rechte und um die Frage, ob politische Haltung in einem Filmprojekt, das auf meinem eigenen Stoff basiert, faktisch zum Ausschlusskriterium werden kann.

Es geht nicht darum, wer ich bin, sondern was ich öffentlich sage und wofür ich mich seit dem 7. Oktober einsetze und ob Verträge in der deutschen Filmbranche davon unabhängig gelten.

The German language is relatively easy...

Those who can speak Latin and are used to declensions normally learn it very rapidly.

At least that is what German teachers say in their first class.

They start learning: der, die, das, des, dem, den, and the rest just comes naturally.

It's amazingly easy!

If this doesn't convince you, let's learn German with an example.

First of all, take a book in German.

It's a splendid leather-covered book published in Dortmund.

It is about the customs and habits of the Hottentots (which in German is Hottentotten).

The book teaches that the opossums (Beutelratten) are captured and put in cages (Kotter) with wooden slats (Lattengitter) to protect them from the elements.

Those cages, in German, are called “cages with wooden slats” (Lattengitterkotter) and, when they have inside an opossum, we call the group as “cage with wooden slats with an opossum” (Beutelrattenlattengitterkotter).

One day, the Hottentots arrested a murderer (Attentäter), accused of having killed the Hottentot (Hottentotter) mother (Mutter) (a Hottentottermutter) of a boy who stuttered and was also a bit slow (Stottertrottel).

That woman, in German, is called Hottentottenstottertrottelmutter and, her murderer, we call easily Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterattentäter.

In the book, the Hottentots caught him and, without having a place to put him, they used a opossum cage (Beutelrattenlattengitterkotter).

But, incidentally, the prisoner escaped.

After they began the search, a Hottentot warrior screamed, "We caught the murderer (Attentäter)!"

"What?," asked the chief.

"Lattengitterkotterbeutelrattenattentäter", answered the warrior.

"Who?

''The murderer that was in the cage of opossums with wooden slats?" the chief of the Hottentots asked.

"Yes," answers the native with great difficulty.

"Hottentottenstottertrottelmutteratentäter (murderer of the Hottentot mother who had a slow and stuttering child)."

"Ah," the chief says, "you could have said from the start that you had caught the Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterbeutelrattenlattengitterkotterattentäter!"

As it can be noticed, German is very easy. You only have to show a little willingness...

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I am following the situation in Ukraine with sorrow, and I am close to and pray for those who suffer. The continuation of hostilities has increasingly serious consequences for civilians, and widens the rift between people, driving away a just and lasting peace. I invite everyone to intensify efforts to end this war.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.
