This is a fascinating little data point into Orbanism. According to Google, Hungary is the biggest spender by a large margin (in political ads). The top 10 European political spenders are dominated by the HU govt, with 5 entities. Note that the Italian and Romanian far right is also there.

Egész Európa legdrágább politikai hirdetési kampányát folytatja YouTube-on a Nemzeti Ellenállás Mozgalom

De az európai top 10-be a költések alapján befér még a Fidesz, a Mediaworks, a Miniszterelnöki Kabinetiroda és a Szuverenitásvédelmi Hivatal is.

Taking @simonwillison.net’s advice I’ve been using llms very specifically to fill out specific boring functions. This seems to work bettter than vibe coding which seems incapable of structured programming arstechnica.com/ai/2025/07/s...

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Worth watching if you, like me, constantly deal with criticism and rejection within the academy and professional research.

In the first weeks of the COVID pandemic flight radar statistics tracked the drop in air travel. Now one can watch the shipping statistics as US de-globalizes itself. Check out the statistics of incoming cargo ships from China and the ports… stations.vesselfinder.com/stations/6728

Unless nipped in the bud thanks by coming financial storm, this would be stark departure from the democratic market-based system, imperfect as it is, that this nation has taken for granted. My latest in @capx.co capx.co/donald-trump... /3 end

List of countries not subjected to tariffs: Russia Belarus North Korea Cuba They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

This week I gave a guest lecture and one of the attendees asked about whether there is a “technical” solution to an issue… I’ve been thinking about this. Majority of issues we face in energy transition. Require facing 1) technical, 2) political and 3) economic challenges.

Can we prevent the major catastrophe? Yes, absolutely. Are we likely to accomplish it? I wish I saw that pathway. But if the camel can go through an eye of the needle, than we may be able to achieve the social change required. (for reference check Matthew19:23-26) theconversation.com/keir-starmer...

Keir Starmer says the UK can decarbonise without disruption – that’s neither true nor helpful

It’s the government’s job to make it easier and cheaper for people to change their lives.
