1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government.
It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering."
He was warned of arrest.
They marched anyway.

200,000 March In Budapest Pride, Refusing To Capitulate To Anti-LGBTQ+ Law
The march can teach the world the power of organized solidarity in the wake of a global, anti-LGBTQ+ reactionary movement.

If you're on mastodon.social, you might want to move your account to a different server: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server The Fediverse is protected from takeover as long as we are spread out on many servers. If one server dominates, takeovers become easier. Mastodon.social is currently 25.5% of the active Fediverse. This proportion is way too large and seems to be increasing. Larger servers also tend to have worse moderation and are harder to defederate, threatening safety. #FediTips #Fediverse

After nuclear weapons testing began in 1945, atmospheric radiation contaminated new steel production worldwide.
For decades, scientists needing radiation-free metal for sensitive instruments had to salvage steel from pre-war shipwrecks.
Scientists called this steel
"low-background steel." […]

Today I cycled to an office, ate a Boots meal deal for lunch and met a colleague after work. It’s like 2016 all over again. Including the state of the roads.
Meal deal is also £4.50 now!
