I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

just like the Fugitive Slave Act, conservatives demand that they can impose their evil systems upon liberal states, democracy be damned, but if liberal states so much as offer a mild disincentive for evil to make conservative state maybe Suck Less then it's unconstitutional tyrannical overreach

RUN FOR COVER (1977) Acrylic on illustration board H. Beam Piper is, of course, best remembered for the Fuzzies of Zarathustra. My involvement with those books began in 1976 when Ace, guided by Jerry Pournelle, repackaged the two original novels: LITTLE FUZZY and FUZZY SAPIENS. #art #booksky 🪐📚
A white haired man stares down a horned and tusked alien boar-like creature as it prepares to charge. Pappy Jack cradles a little fuzzy alien creature in one hand while gripping a laser rifle by the stock with his other. The beast turns intense orange eyes towards the pack of fuzzies that are panicked and looking for cover. The beast’s intentions are clearly hostile from the bristling of its mane to the set of its hooves on the flora covered rise.

I should add that in addition to being much funnier than anticipated--Musk is going to be intensely humiliated by this movie, it's going to attack the deepest wounds he tries so hard to conceal--it is also bone-chilling. I think he gutted USAID with DOGE to kill masses of people in the third world.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

AOC is propagating dangerous nonsense about MAHA: That it’s “not partisan,” driven by legitimate concerns. No. Stop it. It’s a form of extremism that stands in a long tradition of paranoid conspiracism on the Far Right, channeling vague grievances into a radical project. I spelled this out here:
