The Retro Museum in the city of Eger, Hungary 🇭🇺 is jam-packed with 20th century Hungarian and East-Bloc nostalgia, from prewar times to the late 90s.

It's small, but they have thousands and thousands of items on show, all setup with lots of love and care. Can highly recommend, it's great fun if you're into this kind of thing.

Of course it helps if you're Hungarian and recognize your childhood toys, and lots of other everyday items lost in time.

Advocates of liberal democracy tend to veer between triumphalism and fatalism nowadays. But neither perspective really captures the politics of countries like Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Italy and the United States. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/14/world/is-democracy-stalemated/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #hungary #poland #serbia #viktororban #karolnawrocki #democracy

There is no rule of law in Hungary! Maja, a non-binary person who was abducted from Germany to Hungary, has been on hunger strike for over a month.

Instead of releasing Maja from custody, it is now being considered to insert a pacemaker into Maja in order to be able to continue the show trial! Act at last, Commission President von der Leyen!

CBS News: #Hungary’s Viktor Orbán seized control of universities rewrote the #Constitution and neutered the courts. Is that what you're advocating for in the US?

Denmark wants Europe to deploy its full legal arsenal against Hungary over violations of the bloc’s fundamental rights, including by pursuing the Article 7 so-called nuclear option against Budapest.

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.

That piece of shit Orban banned pride. This is what it looked like as a result. Fuck him.

Euractiv: "Major turnout as Budapest Pride defies Orban’s ban in Hungary"

Tens of thousands of people began marching Saturday for the Budapest Pride parade, defying a government ban that marks a major pushback against LGBTQ rights in the European Union.

"We believe there are 180,000 to 200,000 people attending," Pride president Viktoria Radvanyi told AFP. "It is hard to estimate because there have never been so many people at Budapest Pride."
