Let’s hope the EBA and #Eurovision decision makers can fix the gaming of the voting system by a certain country which really is the root cause of a lot of the debate of who should be in the competition
Fascinated with @geoguessr.bsky.social after watching the World Cup on Twitch yesterday … any league for oldies there?
#eurovision by making the public voting paid you rig the system in favour of fraudsters who want to manipulate the system. If the result had favoured 2nd place it would have been game over for the show! Glad Austria won.
Super cool to see this happening too, well done REM. Hopefully it’s a start to save this organisation and maybe they may need to broadcast to the US in the near future too
With more and more buy European /boycott US products groups popping up across social networks, he may be more aligned with people in the street.
Can’t Greenland and Denmark just simply tell the US they can no longer have their base there due to hostile behaviour or revoke their visas?
Only the trial period I believe. We bought the lifetime deal after our trial for our family and we have been using it for several years now and the app keeps improving.
Kinomap is French origin an alternative to zwift and similar
Can someone States side please give the orange tantrum kid a lesson in basic economics as in global trade it is normal to have surpluses and deficits and VAT is a normal instrument? #askingforfriends #tarrif #idiot
I like politicians to be boring and competent as well as to care about people… utopian thought #politics
Looks like the apartheid import has been combined with misogyny to protect the frail egos of little white bros
Same in Belgium not unusual and if you went to catholic school a group activity
I wonder if that’s because doge cut the jobs of all the people that did these jobs and this is just a smokescreen? Either way given the people heading up intelligence in the US it may no longer be reliable either. It’s nuts to even try to negotiate with moving goalposts
(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
The European Commission is made up by one person proposed by each country and then they need to be approved by the MEPs aka elected officials. It works just like most cabinets in most democracies. They become the face of policy and will not get any legislation through EU parliament without votes
Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
If you never watched the series “The Americans” where Russian assets infiltrate and influence all levels of society in the US, it is as if this is based on a true story playing out in real time in the Oval Office. #standingwithZelenskyUA
The US is ideologically and doctrinally on the side of the Russian criminal regime. Period.
This reversal of alliances is a historic earthquake.
If you still haven't understood that Europe must rearm massively and urgently switch to a war economy, you haven't grasped anything.
We need leaders now.
Each person aka MEP in the European Parliament is an elected official chosen by citizens in each of the member states through a democratic vote. The European Parliament then follows proportional representation based on the number of votes each party received in their election. That is democracy imho
Europe has been talked down by so many including regular media for national purposes (brexit, right,left etc) and most of us living in this amazing continent are not boastful by nature. Criticism and cynicism as well as all kinds of satire all have a place in doom talking. Time to flip the switch 💪🏻
🔥 CROCKETT: “Facts matter.”
Europe in my view needs to come out with one voice. In total if you add up national and EU support from all countries in Europe for Ukraine, the numbers are higher than that of the US. The problem the EU cannot say this nor can any one of the countries. #eu #europe #unite
President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
Strategically Europe should aim to have minimum 2 ideally more competitors to each trillion dollar tech corporation we all buy from in addition to AI power with regulation that keeps democracy and inclusion at its core. So that we have alternatives when US corporations drop values to suit bullies
I find it funny that Meta, X, Alphabet and other US technologies get to snoop our data to their own secret algorithmic pleasure but as soon as they hear TikTok and DeepSeek people get all high and mighty about their data?! Same same imho #doublestandard #tech
With looming tariffs should the rest of European creators, producers and manufacturers including services not also have the option to have that tag, so that more of us can buy local?
How is bullying countries that don’t buy from you in equal measure as you buy from them a sound economic policy? It’s the natural flow of goods: some you buy some you supply and for a whole variety of reasons that may not be an equal balance. We are no longer bartering in global trade 🙄
As a business owner in Europe what are the EU equivalents to AWS, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI etc etc #businessopportunity and will the @ec.europa.eu fund it?
