Excited to announce that the @EUCommission has updated it's follow buttons on the website footer!
What's that first platform there? Could that be #Mastodon?
And where did the link to #X go?
All the posts and comments here on Mastodon calling for this, trust me we read them!

Keep it up #Europe
But please do me a favor
Don't replace #USA #techbro shit with... USA-style techbro shit (like this #W #Bluesky vomitorium)
And if I need to explain to you what I mean... no I don't think I need to do that. You feel what that means in your bones
I say this as an American
UKRAINE DEFENDS NATO!
Ukrainian Defenders are teaching NATO how to fight with and against drones.
During NATO’s Aurora 26 exercises, which brought together 12 partner nations, Ukraine became the only participant outside NATO, invited to share our modern battlefield experience.

Hit by what is called a "heat dome" of warm air from northern Africa, people in western Europe turned to fans and fountains as they endured a record-breaking heat wave, with temperatures set to soar even further. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/05/27/climate-change/spring-heat-wave-europe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #eu #europe #heatwaves #climatechange
Brits should read this ⬇️ exchange between Epstein and Thiel.
Epstein explicitly mentioned Brexit as a successful step to destabilize societies in order to create profit opportunities.
This email between #Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor fascist Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves.
Epstein and Thiel also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together. Russia carried out successful hybrid warfare operations against the United Kingdom (Brexit) and the United States (Trump-for-President) in 2016.

BREAKING NEWS
Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Medgyessy and European Union President Ursula von der Leyen agreed on the thawing of nearly 15 billion euros for Ukraine that had been frozen since the governments of Viktor Orbán.

It looks like #Albania is in the process of initiating official support of gender-affirming care, both for adults and minors. According to other reports, this is part of aligning health care with #EU and scientific standards. This is a great step forward for the #trans community there, though there is the usual opposition from the usual types. This news showed up on multiple web sites, so I think the story is legit.
Irrespective of which #government is in power at Westminster, #Labour #Tory #Reformltd or #Libdems,
they will not #rejoin the #EU, or work to the benefit of the people in #Scotland, #Wales, #England or #NorthernIreland...
they are only interested in holding power and in themselves...

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Mehrfach die Woche teile ich gegen das Doomscrolling erfreuliche #Solarpunk - Nachrichten! 📰
Heute darf ich Euch von erfreulichen Fortschritten bei der Entwicklung von Natrium - Ionen - Batterien 🔋 berichten, die ohne das seltene Lithium auskommen. In Europa werden zudem immer mehr organische Redox - Flow - Batterien gebaut, die ebenfalls als Batteriespeicher für Solar- und Windstrom taugen. Insgesamt führt jedoch China die Batterieforschung an.
Würde Deutschland weniger Zeit und Subventionen für fossile Technologien vergeuden, so könnte unser Land auch für die EU und die von Russland angegriffene Ukraine sowie für den Schutz der überhitzenden Mitwelt & fossilistisch unterdrückter Völker wie jenes des Iran ein noch wertvollerer Partner sein! 🤔🇩🇪🇪🇺🪫🧮
Denn #Erneuerbare sind auch #Friedensenergien !

Some of you have been asking why the #EU digital policy account isn't on the #Fediverse..
Well, today they are! Go follow the official #DigitalEU account: @digitaleu for updates about #OpenSource, #Tech and #DigitalSovereignty, and much more!
Today is a good day for the open source community. Stay tuned for more announcements.
If you don't know, #Russia has an annual #economy forum
So we're already in a joking mood
They had a 'Russia 2050' report
3 scenarios for 25 years out:
1. inertial: "American and Chinese hegemony"
2. bad: Russia loses the war and is "colonized"
3. good: "ideological war" victory, nukes are used for some reason, Kyiv/ Odesa/ Kharkiv/ "and so on" annexed and the #EU disintegrates I guess just for funsies
There's better amateur fan fiction conventions

Also, please remember that all #WSocial has to do to win is have the benefit of the doubt.
Don’t give them that.
If they have it, with so much money and political influence, they can scale.
If they scale, they can reach network effects.
If they reach network effects, there’s zero you can do to stop them.
Fine! So what?
Well, they have mandatory identity verification.
Once they have network effects, the European Commission can say “any social network that doesn’t implement mandatory identity verification is henceforth illegal in the EU. We have our own “sovereign” network, WSocial, that implements it and if any other networks want to operate in the EU, they must too. Facebook, etc., will implement it in a heartbeat. The fediverse? It’ll be illegal.
So, yeah, maybe don’t give them the benefit of the doubt.
Actively resist them.
Don’t engage with people on there.
Warn your friends.
They’re not building a social network. They’re building the infrastructure for a police state backed by the European Commission.

"Lured by tax breaks and a culture of gentle persiflage, giants such as Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, OpenAI, TikTok and X all established their European headquarters in Ireland. The EU’s “country of origin” principle determines that the country that hosts a company’s European HQ is the country responsible for regulating it across the EU. This legal quirk has turned the Irish data protectioncommission (DPC) into Europe’s primary watchdog for the tech sector: Ireland pushed to make this happen as council president in 2013.
The effects of this arrangement are staggering. The DPC’s chairperson recently admitted that apart from “amicable resolutions” on trivial issues, Ireland has not completed a single EU inquiry into Google or any of its subsidiaries in the 10 years since the GDPR was enacted. EU-wide protections are paralysed because every other member state must wait for Ireland to act in an EU-wide response.
When the DPC has enforced against big tech firms, it has done so poorly and under duress from other European regulators. It did move with uncharacteristic speed in one instance, against Elon Musk’s Grok AI, but then accepted a settlement that appears to have collapsed. Ireland’s media regulator, Coimisiún na Mean, enjoys a better reputation but has far weaker powers. For a decade now, Ireland has held open the regulatory back door that allows giant US and Chinese companies to operate with impunity across Europe. It has become not only a tax haven, but a haven from regulation.
The economic dependency is stark. Three US firms accounted for almost half of Ireland’s corporate tax revenue in 2024. In 2022, Ireland collected almost five times more corporate tax per person than France or Germany. You may admire a once small, poor and un-industrialised country for having won the race to the bottom and becoming rich. But the consequences have been grim..."

Albania is promising that a controversial resort project linked to Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, will comply with European Union environmental standards as the country aims to join the bloc. Read more from @euronews

2026: #Ukraine is "protector of the free world" ( #USA has devolved into that incoherent bigot uncle you do your best to ignore at family gatherings)
