I honestly don’t understand why adults would choose to spend their time mocking and threatening teenagers and children for promoting science, when they could do something good instead. I guess they must simply feel so threatened by us. ->

Impressions of a bygone era. The authentic Viking village was built in 2010 at the foot of Mt. Vestrahorn in southeast #Iceland for a movie that never was filmed. Over time, these weather-beaten buildings become more real as wind and rain take their toll on this unique backdrop

By @Dubliniaviking "This 'thing' was excavated from a cholera graveyard during the Luas works! It's a tree root that found its way into the cavity of a deceased skull, & while the head decayed, the tree root retained the shape of the skull" Paleo anthrodendrology? #Archaeology

Great to see a positive environmental piece occasionally. Nice article by @sandralaville and @guardianeco on the efforts of @IOMGovernment and the fishing industry to clean up the seas around the Isle of Man #marine theguardian.com/world/2018/o… @guardian

A sea change: how one small island showed us how to save our oceans

In just 10 years, the Isle of Man has rid its beaches of plastic and earned Unesco status as a world leader in ocean protection. So how did it do it?

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.

Wait! Facebook doesn’t sell people’s data. It profiles people based on extensive data collection and then sells people’s *attention*. CA got data because Facebook was giving it away—not selling. Pass a law saying Facebook can’t sell your data, and Zuckerberg will celebrate it. nitter.gq/snowden/status/9787149…

Ok @Google. I had turned off YouTube history under my Google account settings. Today, I find out YouTube has been keeping my history for years anyway. See recent videos I watched! I track this stuff for a living. HOW THE HECK IS AN ORDINARY PERSON SUPPOSED TO MANAGE THIS? 😖😡🤬
