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.
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.

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

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.

2/2 Hello World, it's #Finland calling!
It's our #IndependenceDay, and Finnish Broadcasting Company Yle has a live sream from the 612-march of the #FarRight and the counterdemonstration #HelsinkiIlmanNatseja - Helsinki without #Nazis - mentioned above.
You can watch it here:

The other of the MP's from #TheFinnsParty cancelled his participation in the #FarRight march, but the other, #TeemuKeskisarja, didn't and is the keynote speaker of it.
It is #IndependenceDay of Finland. 
So it is a day off work.
Celebrating by cleaning up the shop. 
I think it is weird that I continue listening to Still Untitled episodes while working in the shop.
Am I alone?
the biggest threat to anti-fascist protesters in finland are not the nazis, but the police.
apples and oranges i know, but so many people dont know or really understand this.
finns tend to trust and respect police very much, until they actually have to deal with them in any situation or scenario. break law, be a victim of crime, attend a protest that disturbs the status-quo and suddenly you feel uneasy everytime you see a cop or one of their vehicles. #independenceDay #finland #antifa #acad
1/2 Hello World!
It's #Finland calling, again!
The latest news about our far right #consevative #government:
Two MP's from #TheFinnsParty have announced that they'll not participate the #IndependenceDay ball held by president #AlexanderStubb, but are instead participating 612-march.
The march is organized by a #FarRight association, and also #NeoNazis are regularly marching - #swatsika flags with them.
Prime minister #PetteriOrpo stays silent.
On July 4th 2026, USA will celebrate its 250th Independence Day. 
And y'all know who the president will be on that special day.
Not been mentioned much that I've seen, but Donald Trump (or maybe JD Vance) will be president during the 250th-anniversary celebration of US independence. Can't wait to hear the soaring rhetoric on that occasion.
