Te cuento todo lo que tienes que saber sobre el nuevo Primer Ministro de Hungría. ¿Quién es y cuáles son las ideas de Péter Magyar? 🇭🇺 - Magyar es un conservador-liberal, ex-miembro del MISMO partido de Orbán, pero renunció por todos los casos de corrupción que había en el partido. > Inmigración — En contra de las políticas de la Unión Europea. A favor de mantener la valla fronteriza. En campaña ha dicho: “Elegimos al pueblo húngaro y no queremos inmigrantes”. Hasta diría que es más duro que Orbán en estos temas. > Económico — Pro mercado, liberal. A favor de bajar impuestos. Reducir el poder del Estado. > Geopolítica — Anti Putin, pero en cuanto a Ucrania piensa muy similar (recuerden, ambos vienen del mismo partido). > Social — “Anti-woke”, de hecho a presentado programas para priorizar la familia húngara y aumentar la natalidad. > Defensa — Planea subir el gasto militar al 5% del PBI para 2035.

Dude you really don't need to flex more about how illiterate you are. 'I live in Japan, have a job, have a wife but have never read a novel' isn't exactly the flex you think it is

At a crossroads if I want to continue my PhD in international relations or not. It's a bit of a nightmare due to the following points: 1. Doctoral thesis is about 65% done, but my department won't even look at it unless I have three academic articles published. 2. One article is published and one has gone back and forth between me and my school's journal for months. Waiting for the final result and it's been a frustrating process. I still have one more to write as well. If the second article gets rejected again, it and the third one could take up to another year to get looked at and accepted by other journals while I have to work on the thesis defense. 3. I've written dozens of articles as a professional journalist, so I'm thinking of using two of those instead. But then the department might reject them as "not academic" and I'm back to the problem listed above. Yes, despite being a writer with tons of bylines with respected publications, it basically means diddly squat in the world of academia. Guess why I'm leaving the field? 4. I already know I'm not continuing on with academia. I'm starting my own business (details to be revealed at a later date) and want to start making money. If this whole PhD saga is going to take a year, possibly more to finish, it's not worth continuing. I've been in this program since 2021, so I have no desire to push this beyond 2026. And that about sums it up. Since I'm married (spousal visa recently got approved) and I have enough savings, staying in Japan and paying rent isn't an issue for me. I'm expecting the results of that second article any day now and if it's another rejection, that'll be it for me. I'll move on with my actual career and not look back.

BREAKING: Japan reports 10th straight year of record low birth rates, with only 705,809 births in 2025, the lowest since records began in 1899.

The Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary has passed in Japan with not even a single tweet to acknowledge it from Nintendo! 😭 Hopefully Nintendo are saving some Zelda related announcements for later in the year.
