To celebrate the Digital Independence Day, I strongly recommend checking out EU platform with European series and movies, @arte! Amazing productions, entirely sovereign. Here is link to one of my fav series, "Is it true that?"

Is It True That...? - History | ARTE in English

Did democracy actually originate in Greece? Was the plague the worst epidemic of all time? And did we really work harder in the past than we do today? Is it true that ...? questions what we think we know and takes another look at history.

@ignacyy @arte Best thing about the ARTE platform is this:

They just added Romanian as a 7th language, which is great. But all of this costs money and since we're in the middle of negotiating the EU budget, I really wish @voltdeutschland et al weren't such bougie dweebs [lovingly] who can't seem to articulate for normies the link between the 🇪🇺 budget and 🇪🇺 NOT having a pan-European broadcaster in all 24 languages (there's also #geoblocking, but one step at a time...)

Czy to prawda, że...? - Historia | ARTE po polsku

Czy demokracja narodziła się w Grecji? Czy pracujemy mniej niż kiedyś? Jaka pandemia była najgorsza? Wydaje ci się, że znasz odpowiedzi na te pytania? Pokazujemy, że historia jest nie tylko bardziej skomplikowana, ale też dużo ciekawsza!

Setting the ground for a paneuropean broadcaster is actually part of our programme 👀🇪🇺

@voltdeutschland @ignacyy And it's great. How are we financing it? YOU're not in government, it's ultimately Merz who's going to be negotiating the EU's next 7-year budget. (And maaaybe some SPD minion at lower levels). I wasn't blaming you for not getting us money for it, but I see a bizarre apathy about the #MFFButNotTheFunKind from pro-🇪🇺 parties. And I've seen this eurocinema before, I know how it goes. I'm one of a handful of freaks on the continent who stayed up 96 hours for the '21 summit.

@voltdeutschland @ignacyy I saw Greta Thunberg RAGE at "the EU" the morning after the Recovery Fund was agreed for not financing green policy enough, even though she did NOTHING to raise awareness in Sweden via her massive platform that the SWEDISH gvt was one of the Frugals who had to be appeased with cuts. tldr: as long as Merz & co. feel no pressure to finance certain things in the 🇪🇺 budget (other than farmers), we can't have nice things. Where's the #EndRebates campaign, btw?
