@HappyPower Hey – the change to remove color labeling from Shop items doesn’t change our approach or the way we price things. We just wanna simplify the appearance of Fortnite (Locker, Shop, etc) and remove outdated Battle Royale-inspired systems.

Epic is playing the Angel and Devil thing with the Item Shop. #Fortnite
-Give a quality update (the timer)
-Give a shitty update to remove rarities to trick you into thinking a skin is worth more than it is..🤧

Confiscating assets of foreign states in response to an unjust war has been normal practice throughout history.
Russia’s blatant violations of international laws require a response, and investors should be comforted that rules are enforced

Europe should learn from the Copenhagen COP NOT to celebrate failure.
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen
Congratulations #COP28! A crucial part of this historic deal is truly made in Europe. The whole world endorsed our 🇪🇺 2030 targets: 👉 to triple renewable energy 👉 to double energy efficiency, both by 2030 Today's agreement marks the beginning of the post-fossil era.

"The only long-term solution to address the strategic challenge the Orbán regime poses to the EU’s functioning as well as the security of Ukraine is depriving Hungary’s government of its voting rights in the European Council via the Article 7 procedure." visegradinsight.eu/the-eu-needs-a…

The heads of Europe’s largest political groups are ready to warn Brussels:
Don’t give Hungary billions of euros in frozen funds until the country completely resolves its rule-of-law problems.

Quick reminder to everyone who thinks it's absurd that the @EU_Commission unblocks €10B for Viktor Orbán a day after Hungary passed new laws targeting the opposition, NGOs, and the remainder of independent media: Sure, it's absurd, but let's not forget that the Commission never even had any serious reservations about Orbán's previous similar crackdowns in the first place.
No EU fund was frozen due to:
-the persecution of NGOs and smear campaigns against them, going as far as hiring Israeli private intelligence firms to conduct sting operations
-the distortion of Hungary's media industry through buying up and shutting down media outlets while creating a pro-government propaganda empire exempt from anti-trust scrutiny, or discriminating media outlets through channelling all state advertisements to pro-Orbán media companies
-the illegal surveillance, including with Pegasus spyware, of the opposition, political activists, lawyers, independent journalists, media company owners etc.
-the blackmailing and harassment of businessmen–both foreign and Hungarian–to sell their assets to pro-government proxies
-detaining anti-government activists and even opposition MPs
-government-controlled authorities' harassment of opposition parties, including huge fines that may well sabotage their next election campaign
-anti-LGBT laws and government-led hate campaigns against vulnerable minority groups
-the inhumane and unlawful treatment of asylum seekers and refugees.
And I could go on for much longer, but I think this was enough to make my case.
The EU never in the first place stepped up against the Orbán regime's most serious violations of rule of law and democracy. The particular issues they raised and eventually tied to blocking EU funds were just nuisances. It was always expected from the very beginning that these funds will be unblocked sooner or later, because the Commission is not interested in a prolonged conflict with the Orbán government. Nor is it interested in trying to achieve real change in Hungary. They just think it's not their business – this is their technocratic approach to how the EU should be run.
Orbán regularly labels them "faceless Brussels bureaucrats." I'm sorry to say but he's absolutely right.

💬Volodymyr #Zelensky said that during a conversation with Viktor #Orban, he asked him to name at least one reason why #Ukraine should not be in the EU:
"I asked him to name me at least one reason. Not three, not five, not ten, just one reason, and I am waiting for an answer," the President said.

@guyverhofstadt Especially scandalous as the Orban government simultaneously silence the media with a new law, and financially destroyes all opposition parties trough his own Court of Auditors.
