Thanks to @RejoinEU Remarking that #IndependenceDay is using
exactly the same #triggers for #liberationDay . It's #nativist and #jingoistic with no place in 2025 #UK #AntiFa
Scotland is being held back by disastrous decisions made in London. 65 countries came to the same conclusion and now celebrate their independence from the United Kingdom. Scotlands best days will come with independence.

The Singing Revolution.
In 1947, during the first song festival held after the Soviet occupation, Gustav Ernesaks wrote a tune set to the lyrics of a century-old national poem written by Lydia Koidula, “Mu isamaa on minu arm”.
This song miraculously slipped by the Soviet censors, and for fifty years it was a musical statement of every Estonian’s desire for freedom. [after Ago Koerv]

Watching #IndependenceDay to relax. “It's like in chess: First, you strategically position your pieces and when the timing is right you…strike.”
Aw man.
Beim heutigen #Filmabend gab es #IndependenceDay Wiederkehr 
zu sehen. Leider eine wirklich unnötige Fortsetzung, die es gerade so in den Durchschnitt schafft. Schade: https://moviescape.blog/2025/02/21/independence-day-wiederkehr-ot-independence-day-resurgence-2016/

Bein heutigen #Filmabend ging es mit #IndependenceDay #ID4 
in meine Jugend. Was hatte mich der Film damals im #Kino geflasht! Heute muss ich sagen: Erstaunlich gut gealtert. Hätte ich nicht gedacht. Macht immer noch Spaß: https://moviescape.blog/2025/02/15/independence-day-extended-cut-1996-ws1/

It was still fun though. Dean Devlin has a knack for making awful/trashy sci-fi that one enjoys in the moment nonetheless.
The Ark television show, now with two complete seasons, definitely fits that mould. Fortunately, it delivers messaging that’s much more aspirational and Star Trek-like. Which is why I have been a booster for it here.
Some of the worst CGI pixelated ship models since B5. The title sequence looks like it was made in another century. The production design is aggressively dreary to the point you can believe the ships were thrown together from printed pieces in a rush. But the show overcomes that in its own weird way.
“I came here to give you the facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet -- but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder.” — Klaatu
From a scene from the 1996 film #IndependenceDay showing a scene played by Michael Rennie from the 1951 film, ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’ a scene is referenced in films and television shows. #UAP / #UFO …lol #drones
I took this picture on #Christmas Day of #clouds that looked like the #IndependenceDay aliens were arriving.

When earth's fight to save the planet and mankind from extinction fails, cropduster Russell Casse realizes that the only way to deliver his bomb to the alien ship is to sacrifice his own life.
Happy 107th Independence Day Finland! We're the only nation in mainland Europe that was involved in the war and not occupied during the WW2. We kept our independence and did not surrender to Germans and Russians.
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää!
Suomi Finland, sisu, sauna ja perkele.
