💥🇭🇺🗳️First results of the Hungarian parliamentary elections are in: with 14.72% counted, the opposition leads with mandates nearing a two-thirds majority.
Everything points to Viktor Orbán’s defeat and Péter Magyar becoming Hungary’s next prime minister.
This is what Hungary’s historic, record-turnout election looks like on the ground. People clearly understand the stakes, and the final turnout could exceed 75%. Honestly, nobody really expected such a high turnout even though some pollsters like Medián did provide such numbers.
Hungary’s turnout is BRUTAL: 37.98% by 11am (2022: 22.77%), pointing to 75–80% or more overall. In such a scenario, Orbán’s chances look slim, and it’s unlikely any party beyond Fidesz and Péter Magyar’s Tisza clears the 5% threshold.

New jobs created by AI in 2025
vibe coder - businesses pay them to set up apps
prompt engineer - paid more than software engineers
AI trainer - creates sample data for AI
red teamer - tries to jailbreak LLMs
AI council member - enterprise pundit who hangs out in a council
TBH, AI has actually generated more jobs in 2025 than it has lost.
Hi, I’m from Poland, and I recently read in the US National Security Strategy about Europe’s supposed “civilizational erasure.”
So I’d like to tell you a bit about European civilization.
🇪🇺We have a more modest GDP, yet we still run a trade surplus with the United States, employ 2.5 times more industrial workers, have a higher export share in GDP, and maintain lower income inequality.
🇪🇺We don’t have a heavily privatized healthcare system, yet our life expectancy at birth is about three years higher, and infant mortality is nearly half that of the US.
🇪🇺We don’t have universal and unconditional access to firearms, yet European cities are far safer: we have clearly lower rates of homicide, violent crime, and car theft.
🇪🇺We don’t design our entire spatial order around a single mode of transport; instead, we build transport systems with a strong role for public transit, including rail.
🇪🇺We don’t have tech giants pumping up stock-market valuations, but we do equip ordinary workers with things like paid monthly vacations, paid sick leave, paid parental leave, and contracts that prevent sudden dismissal.
So let’s ask ourselves:
which of these things truly reflects the kind of civilization we want to pursue?
PS
In the photo I’m sitting and waiting for some delicious food, did I mention that Europe is superior in this as well, because we have regulations that limit the use of harmful food additives?

Rosja uderza w bazę paliwową azerskiego Socaru w Odessie. To juz drugi atak na azerską infrastrukturę energetyczną - nie przypadkowy. Ataki rosyjskich dronów są pokłosiem nasilającego się kryzysu na linii Baku-Moskwa i rosnącego wsparcia Azerów dla Ukrainy.
Last night, the Russian army carried out a second strike on @SOCARofficial oil terminals in the Odesa region. This is no accident – such attacks can be qualified as deliberate strikes against Azerbaijan’s civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. They bear the hallmarks of #WarCrimes. Since #SOCAR is a state-owned company, 🇦🇿 @prokurorluq has the right to initiate criminal proceedings under the principle of extraterritorial jurisdiction. An important step could be the establishment of a joint international investigative team by Ukraine and Azerbaijan to investigate this incident. Should the deliberate nature of the actions be established, this attack may be regarded as an #ActOfAggression. In that case, Azerbaijan could bring the matter before the #UN, citing a violation of UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 (1974) on the Definition of Aggression.
Excellent analysis reminding us of the root causes of the war against Ukraine. What Putin really wants is a complete redrawal of the security architecture of Eastern Europe. https://t.co/NjiP6riHpU
Both the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministries have released the full text of the draft peace treaty, finalized in March & initialled on 8 August, though not yet signed. It is not a “magic formula” that solves every issue, but a comprehensive & mutually respectful agreement
Amazing news! A lot of issues still remain, but this is a very important development for the region. Bravo, Azerbaijan & Armenia!

Drodzy, sporym zainteresowaniem "cieszy się" konflikt na linii 🇷🇺Rosja - 🇦🇿Azerbejdżan. Jeżeli chcecie wiedzieć O CO CHODZI - polecam rozmowę z @stell7, która świetnie to wszystko wyjaśnia.
