Nem tudom ki csinálta a kérdőívet, de kimondottan jó! Grat!

Are you following the Hungarian developments this week? Orbán published a chatgpt-generated (fake) economic program for the opposition, and uses it to strawman. Somewhat novel genai use case.

The onion just prints the news now

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.

Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.

This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Pure comedy gold.

I believe the only refugees currently accepted in the US are white South Africans. The pattern is very clear.

Hungary missing out on being on the bad side of history only because they quit the whole thing over it being too woke years ago

48 years. That's how long trans women have been eligible to compete in tennis.

Try to top that @theonion.com

With this US Senate, this SCOTUS, and this Constitution, I don't see any of the parameters shifting for the better. My assumption is actually that it's far worse than it was in 2009-2010, and the system would reject any reform at all.

Well, post-Bush people had a strong urge to undo the surveillance state, reform the banking sector, and dial back the political power of billionaires.

None of that happened. The CFPB was gutted before passed, and so was Dodd-Frank. They don't fear the backlash, they can defang it in due course.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

Turns out it's not just America.

Clear as milk. Incredible work by the lawmakers and regulators.

While the Irish budget runs with a vast surplus, desperately needed infrastructure projects get delayed or canceled.

Shabana Mahmood is an avatar of open Britain – that’s what makes her fable about immigration so seductive | Nesrine Malik ‘She is the daughter of immigrants,’ supporters of her cruel asylum policies say. ‘How can she be wrong?’ Let me put them straight, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

"In her telling, racism and xenophobia seem not themselves objectively bad things that must be combatted, but a natural outcome that occurs when too many rights are given to immigrants and asylum seekers." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Europe is scaling back its landmark privacy and AI laws The EU folds under Big Tech’s pressure.

And finally actual journalists also covered the story. Well done.

Digital Omnibus: EU Commission wants to wreck core GDPR principles The EU Commission has published its proposal for the "Digital Omnibus". The planned changes to the GDPR would lower protections for Europeans

Contrary to the article, this is not the "key change" proposed. The proposal completely guts GDPR according to reliable NGOs.

"Among the reasons cited by analysts for the Social Democrats’ decline in Copenhagen were voter fatigue over the prime minister’s hardline policies on issues such as integration and immigration, which have partly inspired a newly unveiled asylum and migration policy in Britain."

Oh, I remember this one. In Romania beer and sunflower oil were using the same half liter returnable and reused bottle.

It was NOT great.

Tenure is in many ways an extension of the axiom that those who it binds it does not protect and those who it protects it does not bind.
