Gar keine schlechte Idee. Werbung fĂŒr die EU in der Kneipe mit Bierdeckel. Der Link geht zu https://europa.eu/de/demokratie

(Ich bereite mich dann schon mal auf die "Ja, aber" Antworten vor die sagen werden das man sehr wohl auch hier fĂŒr Volksverhetzung etc bestraft werden kann.)

Lokjo - a European online mapMay 10

How one small voice can start a whole symphony.

To celebrate the European birthday, here's an (old) flashmob playing 'Ode to Joy', which is the european anthem.

Play it out loud. :)

@lokjo I've used #ThanksEU many times to point to stories that show The Good Stuff.

In varietate concordia [1]

12 stars that mean the world to me. An ongoing experiment to create and maintain a transnational union of different countries, cultures and expectations. Always on the move, full of lessons learned from mistakes made. Far from perfect, but also far from being a failure. A continouous demand on all of us to make things better and to overcome the nay-sayers that focus on problems, not solutions. #ThanksEU

Good news :)

The European Commission @EUCommission now lists #Mastodon as first social media channel in their page footer [1] (The Twitter/X logo is now gone ;). And on the EU website you can now filter for Mastodon social media accounts [2].

In 2019, on March 26th, the EU Parliament confirmed the TRAN ( European Parliament Transport and Tourism Committee) decision to support the EU commission proposal to get rid of the summer/winter clock change. So tonight we will enter year 8 of waiting for the Council of the European Union to do their part in the process so we can finally rid ourselves of this useless theater. #ThanksEU

If you are annoyed by websites that tell you that they and their many hundreds of partners totally respect your privacy, just remember that the reason they have to give you that exact number is the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. So another #ThanksEU ;)

Seems my spam reports are upsetting a spammer who tries to subscribe me to weird mailing lists and swinger groups. LOL. Good thing is that EU regulations require a double opt-in so I just ignore the "please confirm" mails.

@jwildeboer Please don't, you're on the right side.

Small anecdote: my 20-year old daughter is currently traveling in Asia. Some days back out of nowhere she said: "Europe is actually pretty cool: potable tap water and rule of law." (She had an accident and had to deal with local police.)
