“Kvaje kage”. Brilliant! (For context, a staple cake here in DK 🇩🇰 is a fluffy green cake called Kaj Kage after a kids tv character that is a green frog.) This baker rules in puns.

European “Christian” far right politicians have the best scandals. And like cockroaches their careers and grift never die.
József Szájer, a Hungarian ex-MEP, disappeared from the spotlight for four years after a scandal the Belgian press described as a lockdown-busting orgy of naked men and drugs.

Now he’s back — and wants to clear a few things up.

Wow.
As Rs gear up to cut healthcare, Sen. Marshall says, "Look, about 70% of your health outcomes are determined by you. It's determined by what you eat & what you're surrounded by. By the time you come to my office as a doctor, I can impact maybe 10 or 20% of your health outcomes"

This is wild. For decades us on the left urged, that climate change will lead to a huge refugee crisis. Now it’s being turned around. Climate anxiety, building in great replacement theory, fueling hate. Something we should watch out for also in the EU as our climate changes.
