On Saturday 10 Dec, 🇫🇷 & 🇧🇪 are CLOSING a #CrossBorderRail route. Trains will run Mons - Aulnoye-Aymeries for the final time…

To mark this sad occasion, and to send a signal that this is not right, I am organising a “funeral for the train”

Come along! 👇

Currently reading Pedagogy of the Oppressed for the first time and would really like to read and hear more about it. Any suggestions?

Today I was in the #EESC in Brussels for a very well-organised conference with the beautiful title: (Digital) Democracy is a Human Right.

The different speakers gave very refreshing impulses that I had not anticipated and was positively surprised and inspired by - I will be sure to share recordings/videos as soon as they're available!

Just discovered via @jon & @giulio_mattioli: Banning super short-haul flights, while politically attractive, does less than I expected to save aviation fuel and carbon emissions. Food for thought on a Sunday morning :) #transport #TransportPolicy

It's #FollowFriday! Here are two EU accounts you'll want to follow:

@EC_Commissioner_Breton - The first EU Commissioner to post on Mastodon. Covers topics related to EU single market. A must-follow if you're curious about the evolution of "Twitter 2.0" and how EU law works online.

@EC_REA (European Research Executive Agency) - Follow for funding opportunities under #HorizonEU and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, among other programmes.

Stay tuned for more EU accounts coming to Mastodon soon! 👀

Mastodon which is incredibly hot, supports RSS beautifully.

Just add .rss to any account to get the feed. Amazing!

https://mastodon.social/@davew.rss

Open that in your favorite feed reader. It’ll work.

Post a screenshot, say what the reader app is.

And pass this on to everyone who uses a feed reader.

Spread the word!

This is a huge deal for the open web.

Discovering a lot of new artists & albums recently thanks to the yearly #SpotifyWrapped! So many talented artists that my friends and acquaintances listen to that I had no idea of! A great joy 🎶 😊

Here is my #introduction too.

I am an early career #politicalscientist at the University of Zurich (#postdoc ). My main research interests are in #politicaleconomy & #politicalbehavior with a focus on #inequality. But I also study #eu #politics (particularly the #europeanparliament ), the formation of #politicalattitudes and #lgbtq politics.

Here to connect with researchers around the world and know more about their work. Happy #tooting to everyone!

If you haven't heard about #ViktorOrban & the football scarf scandal here's a précis:

#Orban, the PM of #Hungary, wore a scarf with a map of 'Greater Hungary' on it to the Hungary-Greece match on Sunday.

It includes parts of EU member #Romania & #Ukraine as part of Hungary..

...symbolically laying claim to Ukrainian and Romanian territory like this is no less than Putinist-style imperialism.

Orban once again proves he is an autocratic Trojan horse inside the #EU

I wrote about a terrifying case of online harassment against a student reporter, that's torn a college campus apart, and the increasing threats student journalists are forced to deal with https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/19/student-journalist-harass-arizona/
