The European Commission has greenlit Hungary's €900 million advance from a frozen recovery fund, thereby bypassing Budapest's veto of aid to Ukraine, as reported by Reuters.
The agency notes that the EC had initially removed Hungary from the program due to corruption indications and the Orbán government's deviation from democratic principles. Subsequently, Hungary objected to providing 50 billion euros in economic aid to Ukraine.

@ekknappenberger You live down here in south Alabama, too? Hell, the only interest they have in history is to replay the “war of northern agression” and hope it comes out differently this time. @paninid
@pixchips I feel ya, cous.
@paninid That’s silly. Republicans have no interest in history. Or anything that won’t feed their bank accounts. @ekknappenberger
The things coming out about #speakerjohnson are getting creepier.
On the left, me in November of last year, about a week after realizing I was undeniably a transgender woman. On the right, me now, grateful to live every day what had once seemed an impossible dream. If you've ever wanted to instead be a girl, boy, anything between, or neither, you can. I promise it's not too late. :BlobhajTransPrideHeart:

The long and salacious saga of his extramarital affair with former Trump political aide A.J. Delgado took a sudden dark turn on Wednesday, when she sued her ex-boss in an explosive lawsuit that now describes his predatory relationship as rape. #JasonMillerRapist

I am urging you to check out my Low Quality Facts merch. Not because Redbubble is having a bunch of Black Friday sales, but so I can show my family a screenshot of the receipt during Thanksgiving dinner and say "Who's wasting their life now, nerds?"

Toronto policy change: grocery bags
When I returned to Canada I was sad to find that #Toronto grocery chains generally do not provide the option of recyclable (paper) bags. 😱
Now the city wants to charge us *more* for those awful reusable (still plastic) bags, presumably to encourage us to bring our own 👍
EXCEPT: shut-ins who order-in groceries (like me) are collecting heaps of these damned things 😡
Do you want PAPER BAGS too?
Tell city hall by Nov 29th. Submit here:

@rysiek Pretty sure I saw that on an old episode of Star Trek. @hannu_ikonen
@PaulAKachur @AlliFlowers Same. I'm not a fan of Biden by a long shot. But I'll do what I've got to do to get to still have any say in the matter next time. One bad candidate is not enough to justify sacrificing our entire democratic system over.
@AlliFlowers 😎√ Should be an easy & quick choice.
