Around 2024 December 8 (I think the real date was the 7th) Assad was overthrown in Syria and left for Russia, went into exile with some of his family. Since then the Turkish backed and Turkish proxy Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took over most of the country, led by Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa aka. Abu Mohammad al-Julani who risen through the ranks of al-Qaeda to found al-Nusra Front which he turned into the HTS, and now he is the President of Syria and changed his kaftan to a suit. And Syria turned from the enemy of the US into a client or a client of a client (Turkey's client).

Syria is weak and divided. Her leaders really has to bow to their masters, I don't think they like this, but they can't do anything else since Syria can't defend herself.
To the very north the other Turkish backed faction Syrian National Army (SNA) has a small enclave still I think. In the North East in the Kurdish populated areas the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continue to rule, while Turkey has a buffer zone protruding into their territory. New formation emerged in the south where the Druze minority lives, I believe they are now essentially autonomous.
During the chaos of Assad's fall Israel invaded from the occupied Golan Heights and occupied more of Syria, calling it a security zone, similar to the Turkish one in the north.
I think the event that really showed Syria's vulnerability and that it is just a toy for all the stronger states around was the Israel-Iran war, when the IDF jets used Syrian airspace to refuel, blatantly disregarding any appearance of sovereignty.

But Syria left the isolation, the US stopped with the containment policy, sanctions were lifted. Now the leaders of Syria try to establish international relations. Just yesterday al-Sharaa met with Putin in Moscow. He also met Trump and Macron too not in Moscow - which our lad Clement Molin found distasteful, if the translation is correct. I also heard they established relations with India as well. So they are reaching out to everyone they can.

I just realised something... something spooky as fuck.
 
You know how sumo is derived from some ancient rituals? How it was performed in shrines, to appease the kami, to ensure prosperity? It was only later professionalised, and is now performed on a national level by salaried wrestlers, but there are still many religious elements, from how the ring is consecrated by a priest before each tournament, yokozuna entering the ring with that big white rope around his belt, to wrestlers actually throwing salt into the ring before each bout as a means of consecration. It is a deeply religious ritual, somehow performed to appease the kami for the entire nation of Japan. Kinda like how the ancient Olympic Games were performed on temple grounds, and were a form of vitalist worship of Greek gods.
 
You know when's the last time sumo wasn't performed as scheduled? March 2011. The March of the earthquake and tsunami that rekt Japan. But guess what? The tournament was cancelled a month before. Because of some match-fixing scandal. Yep, that's right. And the earthquake happened 2 days before the tournament was scheduled.
 
The earthquake happened because the sumo ritual wasn't performed. Because the kami weren't appeased. They were pissed and caused the earthquake as a warning.

Cool basho, lotsa fun bouts. The final result is not surprising.
I really wished if OHO did better but this is what it is, next time. I'm really glad for Fujinokawa however.
I wonder if the time of yokozunas winning big (14-1, 15-0) is over. Too much competition from rikishis with similar capabilities, or capabilities that can exploit certain weaknesses. Tho in theory both yokozunas were injured.
Well, congratulations, Pwnishiki!
Wakamotoharu was a good pick standard bearer. Disappointingly lack of BANZAI tho.

Haru Basho starts on Sunday!
As usual if we have source, we have stream.

Here's the makuuchi banzuke.
The great attention will be on Aonishiki, who is aiming for the yokozuna belt.
Kotozakura is the lame ozeki. Sad, but I see the possibility him being ozeki for a while.
Kirishima 22 points on his ozeki run, he needs another 11 and he is set. His sekiwake pair is Takayasu, 8-7-ing on.
Tummyfuji is komusubi now, Kusano/Yoshinofuji is at M1, and the tiny Fujinokawa is at M2! Nice.
Oho slipped down to M3, but it's okay he's gonna have a great basho.
Worth to watch for:
Hakunofuji who had a bad encounter with his oyakata, Terunofuji. Shamefur for Teru.
Asanoyama trying to climb up to reclaim a position towards the top of the banzuke.
Fujiryoga is now in makuuchi, at the very end, but he is good, so he'll climb. Unless he gets injured or something.

Juryo.
There was some strong competition last time, Takerufuji wasn't too good however, fell far from expectations.
Perhaps Toshinofuji and Fujitensei are more the interesting picks.

> It's State of Decay 1. It's around forever now. Perhaps its my version. But whatever, it's not an imperative for me to play with that.

Thought it was a rando indie game on Steam.

Go in the game blind first few times, then consult the wikis since everything is super obscure to get and solve.

> I'm not big on rpg maker games. I imagine they can be done good tho.

It's really different from rpgmaker games though. Feels more like playing old school Fallout games than regular indie weeb rpg games.

Trying out Tropico 6. Chiefly because I got bored with T4, did all the campaign and missions and whatever.
I did not like T5 much.
T6 definitely lacks in humour department and the characters are unoriginal. No slutty Ms Pineapple either.
As for the gameplay I'm not sure, T4 had a bit more variety. Could just ignore everything and start a tourism based economy right from the start in that (even with importing food it was possible to ignore the most basic production) but in T6 have to wait for the 3rd eras to unlock tourism. Importing raw resources also a pain in the ass. The Pirate "loot" mission at least gives some tactical elbow-room.
The multi-island approach gives more interesting maps perhaps.
I thikn it's a step up from T5.

Tried playing the Sequel to Fear and Hunger, Fear and Hunger 2. Didn't really like it as much as the first. 

Pros: Better UI, much better navigation and player movement, more organized inventory, more enemy variety and random encounters, a little more open in exploration, cool enemy and monster designs

Cons: The story is more lackluster, too many characters that are almost impossible to recruit at the same time, save system is too archaic, most places to visit are barren and empty, really easy to cheat through the game or too hard to even beat one enemy alone


But it has Paprika as a usable item. And even a character that uses Paprika to cook some food like Goulash. So mayb you'll like it Hungarybernd.

I'm fairly sure I posted Alabama 3 (A3 in the US) before. But here you go, The Telly Show Theme Song of all time.

I watched/listened this video:
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=8EnkhQeTgiY
https://youtube.com/watch?v=8EnkhQeTgiY
Some grille listenes the full Reign in Blood album, for the first time, in one sitting.
Sometimes I watch music reaction videos. As always most are trash (not thrash like this one), couple of good ones, I really enjoyed this I have to say.
She really has an upbeat attitude as if she wasn't listening to songs about death, murder, suffering, and torture. And the music wouldn't be like a barrel half full of nails shaken by an epileptic mong. I like the album, it's a classic
She's right, one can hear the punk influence in it.

Found fun informational. It's dated, I think from 2019 but things seems to be the same. Not sure about that Paris Climate Agreement tho.

As in last post in prev thread stated today EU Parliament voted back Ursula von der Leyen as the president of the EU Commission (EU govt. basically).
719 deputy
707 votes
401 yes
284 no
15 abstained
7 invalid votes
She's so dumb, and the dumbest statements she makes. She's also a bit dated, she was first elected in 2019. But it shows how strong the leftlib is, they stay in power as expected, despite all the bleeting in the leftlib press about far-right danger.

So, terrorism is a serious thang. Our government takes it seriously too, we subscribe to various terrorist group lists, international organizations such as EU and UN regulates. These are essentially sanction lists.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List&#95;of&#95;organisations&#95;designated&#95;as&#95;terrorist&#95;by&#95;the&#95;European&#95;Union
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List&#95;of&#95;designated&#95;terrorist&#95;groups
Last year we decided to create our own national list as big boys such as the US has one, and at that time the Trump administration got mad at the "antifa" and put them on their list. True tho that couple years ago some Italian tards who call themselves antifa came to Hungary to "combat fascism" by beating up some pedestrians and now one of these is sitting in the EU parliament now ofc, that wasn't really nice and the definition of "terrorism" is pliable enough to call them such.
Today I got curious what organizations are considered terrorist on the Hungary. I heard we have a list, The List, so I duckduckwent it. And I found the decree in Magyar Közlöny (Hungarian Journal/Bulletin), the official newspaper they publish every new laws our Parliament legislates and every new decree our govt enacts - searchable on this website: https://magyarkozlony.hu/
Teh Hungarian text can be found in pdf related under 456/2025 decree. So who are on the list? Well I scrolled down to find this:
1. "ANTIFA" groupings
2. Hammerbande / Antifa Ost
That's it.
Really. They managed to make a list of 2 items, consisting of a thing and a subsection of the same thing. Which is a list of one (1) item. Which isn't really a list.

All right I found something else tho.
https://njt.hu/jogszabaly/2025-456-20-22
This also lists something that's called "Vulkangruppe". Found the amending decree in second pdf related at 4/2026, it talks about some attack in Berlin against civilian infrastructure. So:
3. Vulkangruppe
The list just grows on!

I wonder what would I actually find if I'd looked these up.

Just discovered this: European Democracy Shield
series of concrete measures to empower, protect, and promote strong and resilient democracies across the EU
measures to protect the key pillars of our democratic systems:
- free people
- free and fair elections
- free and independent media
- a vibrant civil society
- strong democratic institutions
to withstand evolving common threats, in particular foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) and disinformation
Three Pillars
1. Safeguarding the integrity of the information space
Code of Conduct on Disinformation and prepare a Digital Services Act incidents and crisis protocol to facilitate coordination among relevant authorities and ensure swift reactions to large-scale and potentially transnational information operations.
independent European Network of Fact-Checkers
European Digital Media Observatory [...] monitoring and analytical capabilities
2. Strengthening our institutions, fair and free elections, and free and independent media
European Cooperation Network on Elections [...] for the integrity of electoral processes
guidance on the responsible use of AI in electoral processes
Recommendation and a guide of best practices in the Member States on the safety of political actors.
financial support for independent and local journalism [...] under the new Media Resilience Programme

citizenship education in schools.
participatory and consultative tools, with a focus on local levels and youth
participation in democracy via a new civic tech hub.
EU democracy guide.
help further promote evidence-based decision-making, [...] Recommendation on supporting scientific evidence in policymaking
Three Objectives
1. Fostering engagement: A new Civil Society Platform
2. Support and protection: An online Knowledge Hub on Civic Space
3. Sustainable and transparent funding: €9 billion foreseen for the AgoraEU programme
https://enlargement.ec.europa.eu/news/european-democracy-shield-and-eu-strategy-civil-society-pave-way-stronger-and-more-resilient-2025-11-12&#95;en

Very nice words.
Translation: limiting free speech, banning competitors, surveil parties and voters.
The fun part is that those who they want to use against this parties on the right, eg FN and AfD just to mention the largest ones would use it without hesitation against these one now in power. The genie that won't go back into the bottle.
Great future to look forward to.

US Supreme Court decided against Trump's tariffs - at least on those that were imposed under an emergency powers law, including the sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs. So in theory these are sunk for now. They said it's within the authority of the Congress. So They have to beat these through the legislation, if they want 'em.
Important:
The tariffs decision doesn’t stop Trump from imposing duties under other laws. While those have more limitations on the speed and severity of Trump’s actions, top administration officials have said they expect to keep the tariff framework in place under other authorities.
In the media (Hungarian opposition media too) this shows up as a fanfare that they defeated Trump. It seems it's more like a speedbump for now. Have to figure out other legal bases, and ofc get the Congress to issue them, if they can. Midterms will be important.

What makes a great power?
Listening this:
Russia - Ukraine - Trump, and What's Next for NATO by Pyotr Kurzin, James Ker-Lindsay and Michael Rossi
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=T-P1UR6Reeg
https://youtube.com/watch?v=T-P1UR6Reeg

Almost 2 and a half hour of chitchat about the things of the world everyone talks about. At about 1 hour 30 it comes up if Russia is a great power. James made a video about that topic and users commented that Russia has a great nuclear arsenal. See vidrel.
His conclusion is no.
But he says something that he should consider more, that NATO can't invade Russia.
Which is fuckhuge important. Nukes protect sovereignty in a level that conventional arms can't.

Wyatt of DPA seems to struggle with his channel.
Perhaps yt doesn't promote him that much but him trying to do many channels and spreading his content between them doesn't help either.
I hope he won't stop with his mapping and sitreps because it is actually very informative - and can look it up on his site as well. It's sad that they (the other Ukro war content creators) don't take his map more seriously. It's two maps - Ukro and Russian - overlapped, plus the events reported by the Ministries and geolocated footage pinpointed.
And he does this from the start of the war.

Previous one is autosäging.

Wanna watch The Longest Yard, the original Burt Reynolds movie.
I only see two remakes, the Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones, and the Adam Sandler comedy from 2005. Probably the only good Adam Sandler movie. It's greatest selling point is the catchy tunes played in the background and the supporting cast. Judging by the screenshots it follows the original story quite tightly. The Mean Machine is adapted to the circumstances of a Bri'is prison and normal football. It was entertaining too.
One more remake was made, and Egyptian one: Captain Masr in 2015. Not sure if it's available anywhere, or has any English dubs or subs. Also features normal football.

Watched Underworld for the first time. I was avoiding it on purpose for I thought it's a cheap copypaste from Vampire the Masquerade.
I was right. Tho I enjoyed the movie, I just imagined it's a fanfiction. Music is all right, Beckinsale looked good. Visuals in general are good, story is okay. Film has lotsa ties to Hungary. Scenes were shot here, mile long crew list. The male protag is also Hungarian apparently.
Fights were kinda clumsy, but I think for that time, it's okay.

After a year of hiatus Fallout season 2 restarted in last December.
Back then they were capable of running telly shows in consequent years with 20+ episodes each season. Now they just forgot the technology how to achieve this.

Rewatching the 1st season to refresh my memories. Not good memories.

Right at the bat. How does she know about raiders? If they never left the vault they cannot know about the raiders. For all they know there is nothing up there on the surface.

Watching Greenland for tonight.
It's some meteorite hitting the Earth and the bunker is in Greenland. Dude with his family have to get there.

This year, on January the 6th, they released the sequel Greenland 2.
I bet Bernd in a 100 HUF that Trump's Greenland adventure is just him promoting the name therefore the movie for he has a pal who sunk a lot of money into it and wants to see returns.
Trump doesn't want Greenland at all, just making noise because 0% of the  USians heard about Greenland ever and don't interested in the  movie.
