Last week @Alternantiba@twitter.com @gignv44@twitter.com & residents stormed #Nantes airport in pyjamas💤.
Their demands:
🕰️ Night 🛫curfew to be extended to 8hrs (@WHO@twitter.com-recommendation) & actually be respected by airlines
🚧 Stop the #AirportExpansion

My latest Guardian story - a think tank which gets tax breaks as a charity, but has been spreading unscientific climate scepticism, is being probed by the Charity Commission https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/21/charity-commission-reviews-complaint-against-climate-sceptic-thinktank

Keir Starmer is blaming migrant workers here for low paid work
The reality is that the best solution is a £15 minimum wage & strong Trade Unions - not closing the door to migrants https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63707941

NEW: We are pleased that following our legal intervention the Charity Commission has agreed to investigate the sinister Global Warming Policy Foundation.
Public funds should never be used to subsidise lobbying by those who deny or minimise climate change. https://glplive.org/gwpf-211122-tw

The Large Blue became extinct in Britain in 1979. Its unusual relationship with red ants was an important factor in both its decline & successful reintroduction.
To infiltrate an ants' nest, the caterpillar must very accurately mimic the smell of the ants. Each ant species has a unique scent, so the caterpillar's disguise is specific to just one species: Myrmica sabuleti. If it ends up in the wrong ants' nest, its cover will be blown! 🥸 👀
English isn't my Mum's first language, and she's forgetting it a bit as she gets older. Which is a bit worrying tbh, but that's not the point of this post. Anyway today she forgot the word for "neighbour" and described her as "the lady beyond the wall" and if that isn't a #FantasyPrompt I don't know what is
So far I have been mirroring, but then editing. But I do follow a lot of #art accounts there - is a screenshot ok? And how about posting videos from Twitter?
I'd be very grateful for comments and boosts for the widest range of opinions. Thanks x

Have you heard of #Netflix's new series #AncientApocalypse and the outrage from the #archaeology community?
This week, on The Familiar Strange, I take on the pseudoscience of #Atlantis conspiracy theories by investigating their origins in Victorian race theories. Check it out⬇️

I have seen a few people touting #AncientApocalypse today, please don't. It is absolute nonsense!
It is made by a total grifter who should never have been given a soapbox. It's in the same rubbish category as #AncientAliens -- pure and utter rubbish.
It is an insult to all the amazing #archeologists out there and all the amazing work they do with #historians
Graham Hancock is an absolute scammer!
Seeing some posts talking about fediblocking turning Mastodon into a "filter bubble." No. We absolutely do not need abusive or fascist views to have a high level of intellectual diversity. Full stop. That hate can fester somewhere else.
After 20 years of social media, the experiment has been run. Hateful people are unconvinced by rational argument, so there's no point engaging with them.
This is a rotten, disingenuous, meritless argument, from A to Z.
Fascism is to be defeated, not debated.
What's missing from these pictures?
No on-street parking makes all the difference in the cities of #Japan. The 1962 "proof-of-parking" law means you buy a car, you've got to show you've got a place—off public streets—to warehouse it.
“If we all rode bikes like the Dutch, annual global emissions would drop nearly 700 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia & Australia.” Via @euronews

Prompt 3: Stars
By far the cutest Hungarian origin story involving stars is from the Lake Balaton area:
They say a hedgehog wandered across the sky, accidentally poking holes in it, and that's how the Milky Way came to be.
