In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Forever in awe of young people who stood up for democracy, relentlessly protesting and mobilising for years against a corrupt, authoritarian regime. #Serbia

“Say something positive about Klagenfurt” It would probably be spared in a nuclear war because it’s such a backwater

Österreich hat gerne lange auf den östlichen Nachbarn herabgeschaut (v.a. Orbáns Ungarn). Als jemand, der in zwei Welten aufgewachsen ist und sie jahrelang miteinander verglichen hat: Ihr seid näher an Orbáns Ungarn, als den meisten bewusst ist (und damit meine ich nicht geographisch). 3/

Viele Ausreden, keine Maßnahmen, kein Klimaschutz: Stocker, Babler und Meinl-Reisinger einigen sich auf ein zahnloses Gesetz ohne konkrete Maßnahmen. Eine Vereinbarung, die das Papier nicht wert ist, auf dem sie steht. Den Preis für diesen faulen Kompromiss zahlen unsere Kinder.

Turn the plane around, call the police, lifetime ban from airline.

Laut dem ungarischen Magyar-Medium "Kontroll" hat Sebastian Kurz 10.000 Euro pro Monat von der Modul Uni bekommen, die dem Fidesz-nahen MCC gehört. Kurz' Sprecher bestätigt eine "Kooperation mit dem MCC". www.falter.at/zeitung/2026...

You had one job (sacking Shabana Mahmood)

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

In den ersten FPÖ-Spitzen waren die Altnazis unter sich: Ausschließlich braune Veteranen steuerten die frühen Parteiführungen der #FPÖ – darunter ein bisher unverdächtiger Ex-General und ein Sachse, der den Parteinamen erfand. Das belegt die NSDAP-Mitgliederkartei. Mein Text für den STANDARD.

What a horrible, harmful, incompetent idiot. After long Tory rule there were burning fires everywhere and he managed to tackle basically none of that in two years. The only visible policy achievement was pandering to the far-right, a massive policy failure on its own.

Predictions about the US: I think within 10 years a party that is neither the republican nor the democrat will have a majority in both chambers of congress and have the presidency.

Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan, Ufa in Bashkortostan and Saratov, three Russian refineries have been struck in the last 24h alone and are burning. It is undeniable at this point that Russia is completely losing the drone war. Russian refineries are falling like flies.

Chotiner: so you're waging war on Ukraine Russia: yes Chotiner: and your economy and war effort relies on these highly centralized petrochemical installations Russia: correct Chotiner: what would happen if Ukraine started attacking them? Russia: now, wait a minute, hold on...

From here in Europe I’d like to wish a happy 250th anniv… FIX YOUR SHIT

I think I’m going to start including similar illustrations to traffic deaths (what a nice red supercar), murder (cool tactical gear isn’t it?), etc.

I voted for the greens in my Bezirk, and I welcome every bit of begrünung, but it's one of the most harmful myths that this is anywhere close to enough! Climate adaptation means air conditioning as well. To illustrate this, I plotted the maximum possible greening effect: Margareten vs Wienerwald.

und bzgl. erhalt der schoenen stadtfasaden: wenn man in graz dieses ding in die altstadt pflanzen kann, sollte eigentlich alles erlaubt sein.

nächste wahlkampfthemen bitte: - netzausbau - erleichterung PV anlagen in stâdten und speziell mehrparteienhäusern - selbiges für Klimaanlagen nachdem wir gegen die klimakatastrophe nix tun, wäre es zumindest schön, wenn man sich anpassen versuchen könnte. aber ws. spielen wir frosch im kochtopf

When it comes to global de-dollarisation or any lasting loss of US military credibility the problem is that you tend to get a debate dominated by focus on technical economic or military analysis when the deciding factor will be the stability of the American political system

Ich bin wütend. sehr wütend. Ich bin Lehrerin an einer Wiener Mittelschule, und ich bin wütend und fühle mich alleine gelassen. Es ist heiß. Meine Schule ist ein ganz neues Gebäude, weniger als 10 Jahre alt - und niemand hat beim Bau daran gedacht, ...

UK surprised that those in power won‘t negotiate with those who aren‘t. Good stuff.

Was Starmer fulfilling the platform his party was elected on? No. Was he then putting country above party and pursuing electorally painful but necessary reforms? No. Was he then charismatic and standing on principle? No. Did he then run an ethical and trustworthy govt? Also no.

this may well be the defining joke of our era theonion.com/guy-who-suck...

Starmer speech: he just honest to god said "government is always about choices, and it's clear to me that a full ban is the right choice" He said that.

questions like "what the fuck is this memstock valuation when the biggest part of the justified value (xAI) is a shitty fifth place chatbot money pit nobody uses, and the only profitable company in the group is a congested satellite network with sagging ARPU about to be swamped by competitors"

Helga-Pankratz-Platz in case anyone was wondering. Unfortunately it’s only a few meters of greenery, one side of the Strobachgasse should really have been converted to green space like this.

403 people killed on Austria’s roads in 2025 is not a “traffic accident” statistic, it’s a systemic failure. The key question missed out is not only who died, but where and under which conditions. Dangerous infrastructure and mobility systems are ignored by such reporting. orf.at/stories/3429...

Was it deliberate that Antal Rogan in his public appearances basically acted like Comrade Virág from the classic hungarian movie The Witness?

Belgien hat binnen kurzer Zeit den E-Pkw-Anteil bei Neuwagen von 10 auf 34% erhöht. Wie? Durch Maßnahmen bei Firmenwagen. Abschreibung bei Verbrenner- und Hybrid-Firmenwagen wird seit 2023 schrittweise reduziert, die Firmen steigen auf E-Pkw statt Verbrenner um. #Energiewende #emobility 1/2

It's interesting that David Cameron's famous "chaos with Ed Miliband and stability with me" line somehow ended up with both tories and labour causing chaos.

After 12 years, the EU flag is back on Hungary’s Parliament building — the new Speaker’s very first decision. A happy Schuman Day indeed.

Litauens Reaktion auf hohe Sprit-Preise gefällt mir sehr gut!

Hungary, Medián poll: TISZA-EPP: 68% (+3) Fidesz/KDNP-PfE: 24% (-1) MH-ESN: 6% DK-S&D: 1% (-1) +/- vs. 15-20 April 2026 Fieldwork: 27 April - 02 May 2026 ➤ europeelects.eu/hungary

This is how UK got brexit. "we want this thing without understanding or caring about consequences of thing" If Pluto is a planet then so are 4 other objects in the solar system immediately and it ends up with 10 to a 100 new planets eventually.
