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.

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.
As an academic are you tired of rejection?
Putting hours into your research funding bid or paper only for it to be turned down is an all too common experience. Catch Benjamin Sovacool's recent talk on coping with rejection as well as top tips to overcome it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNTn...

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.

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 asking for defence after 9/11
As a result, 1,105 European and Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan war - 1/3 of all coalition casualties
I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help
