What people think polyglots do: have lively conversations in several languages.

Az utolsó pillanatban döntenek a fővárosi képviselők, hogy költségvetés nélkül hagyják-e Budapestet Hétfőn estére rendkívüli ülésre hívta össze a Fővárosi Közgyűlést Karácsony Gergely. A múlt héten nem sikerült dönteni több fontos kérdésről, így a költségvetésről sem, ami nélkül keddtől bizonytalan ...

Just something to remember in case Budapest's budget for the rest of 2025 doesn't get approved this week. telex.hu/belfold/2025...

Rekord-Pride in Budapest: „Es geht um die Freiheit“ Ungarns Regierung wollte die Pride mit einem queerfeindlichen Gesetz verhindern und Menschen einschüchtern. Der Plan schlägt fehlt. Stattdessen ziehen Hunderttausende gemeinsam durch Budapest – für di...

Apparently it was closer to 200K, so over 2% of the whole country. That will take a while for the police to process with the facial recognition software netzpolitik.org/2025/rekord-...

Be akarták tiltani, minden idők legnagyobb hazai Pride-ja lett belőle Budapesti Büszkeség néven tartották meg a 30. Budapest Pride-ot. Karácsony Gergely szerint a tömeg nem úgy nézett ki, mint amit betiltottak. Amikor a menet eleje a Műegyetem előtti színpadhoz ért, a v...

We can take comfort in the fact that despite everything, biology still works as expected and intended on my balcony

I miss the quaint times of 2017 when Simicska still had to get up at 5AM to paint signs on his own advertising space, because the 'Orban is a gangster' billboards just didn't cut it anymore, but the police politely asked him to stop after the 5th sign.
