I don't want to speak too soon as the temp outside is about to slip down to -6C°, but my olive tree sapling looks like it made it through the winter, and I am pleased.

I just saw the Brutalist, and as a qualified expert, the accents were on point in English, and the Hungarian was good. Not perfect, but I don't think I'd clock it if I didn't know, so yes I am impressed.

I propose philological thriller as the genre name for books about people who commit crimes (mostly murder) on purpose or by accident, because they feel very strongly about books. Paratextual shenanigans are a bonus.

Side-eyeing the English™ - stop clutching your pearls and just admit Matthias Corvinus was a far superior and much more metal monarch than all his contemporary Edwards and Henrys and Richard III combined.

Fidesz is now semi-officially polling below Tisza, which makes me somewhat hopeful. I'd guess they have a better chance than the united opposition had last time, but
- for one, election's in 2026
- two, the opposition also polled fairly high 2 years before 2022.
