Educated dogs tend to enjoy my books. Bailey from Boston got an early copy of “Take Me To Your Leader” and especially liked this sentence from Chapter 1:

“What if the Alien greets you the way Earth dogs greet each other, and it simply wants to come around and sniff your butt?"

"With the joint oath of the new members of the National Assembly, the Orbán government's mandate has been terminated."

So blessed and grateful to be in Budapest on this historic day. I wish my late parents, who fled Hungary in 1956, could be here to witness this. 🕊️

🇭🇺 Péter Magyar will be elected Prime Minister of Hungary today at ~2:30pm, after MPs take their oath and the new parliament convenes.

👋 Viktor Orbán is no longer PM or MP.

🇪🇺 For the first time in over a decade, the EU flag will fly on the Parliament building in Budapest.

King Charles to President Trump:

You recently commented, Mr President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German.

Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

UK Govt suppressed this horrifying report last year, sneaking it out now while attention elsewhere, no doubt hoping to bury dire implications of likely ecosystem collapse. Ministers must urgently step up, change direction & restore vital life support systems

💥 Viktor Orbán faces a possible ousting in April 2026 — and whether he manages to cling to power or not, his regime and its global allure as a model for autocrats worldwide are crumbling. Read the sharpest analysis available.
The Era of Orbánism as an Exportable Model May Be Ending - VSquare.org
Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán’s once-admired “illiberal model” is faltering — plagued by economic crisis, voter frustration, and collapsing governance. With the 2026 election looming, his future — and the global appeal of his system — is at stake as his government faces its biggest political test.

The Unseen Air Inside Classrooms
In the modern classroom, the focus is often on technology, curriculum, and engagement. However, a critical element that directly impacts student health and learning often goes overlooked: the air they breathe. In many schools, especially older buildings, ventilation systems are inadequate or non-existent. This can lead to a buildup of pollutants and, most critically, an increased risk of airborne infections.

💥Viktor Orbán bashing Russia in 2008, after it attacked Georgia: "The peoples of Central Europe have a duty to speak out... when an independent country is under military aggression."

A year later, he met Putin one-on-one for the first time. Everything changed.

The rest is history.
