Alfred C. Kinsey: “We are the recorders and reporters of facts — not the judges of the behaviors we describe.”

"Because the person who forwarded five names to the senate for approval as supreme court judges is Leonardo Leo, who is an out of the closet Opus Dei operative. It was he who pushed Mitch McConnell to nominate Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett for SCOTUS. He is also 'closest friends' with Clarence Thomas and has been called 'one of the most powerful figures in the United States.'”

Well, I have to confess that one of the features I miss on Universeodon is the Libre Translate feature.

It was only last night I realized that when rightoids started asking what a woman is, it took a couple of months for leftoids to start asking what the definition of woke was.

For me both seem obvious. Sure it will generate some laughs that will end in some cringy cringe compilation, but it will make it harder for people to talk to each other, and easier to hate them.

"History is a pack of tricks we play on the dead" Voltaire

Tobler's First Law of Geography is: "... everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things." In spatial statistics this is formalized in the notion of correlation, near objects in space are more correlated than far objects. This applies to time also, near events in time are more correlated than distant events in time. Using Steven Jay Gould's famous "tape of Evolution" thought experiment for human history, rewind the tape back a week and then replay history. Would we notice much difference? Rewind it a thousand years? We might notice a difference. certain things correlate further back in time than others. Evolution gives us correlations going back billions of years. Species millions of years. Human cultures are much shorter, "Western Culture" as a global culture only goes back a few hundred years and for the most part was violently imposed upon the world. Archeology has returned to listening to the stories of remaining native peoples and in North America it has been shown that these peoples are direct ancestors to the peoples of the great pueblos of the southwest and the mound builders of the eastern woodlands. The concerns, participation, support, and stories of native people are now an important part of archeology. One critique of ethnographic studies is that it is difficult to tell just how far back current beliefs, stories, and practices can go, the past is a foreign country even to those whose ancestors lived it. This is a reasonable critique. It is hard for a society that has downloaded its knowledge first into writing and now onto silicon, to understand passing cultural knowledge strictly through memory. Any trial lawyer will tell you about how fallible human memory is yet cultures survived and thrived without writing. Just how was this accomplished?

I just checked Next Payge again, and they're STILL offline. Good thing I've got backup Friendica accounts (Outsourced Math hasn't been reliable, but more reliable than Next Payge, FYI).

This is the first time I've ever had trouble with Universeodon. Diaspora remains a mess and tho I have an account at Diaspora.org I don't use it much....however...

Another surprise at qoto is that it DOES do Markdown! Universodon did a limited amount of BBCode, but the extensive use of BBCode is why Friendica is so personally valuable, AND it does Markdown too.

Diaspora still doesn't do much besides produce bugs.

Today in 1958, 65 years ago: on Enewetak Atoll (Marshall Islands, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean), the United States detonates its 1370 kt Koa atomic bomb. The new XW-35 ICBM nuclear warhead is tested. It is the 126th bomb of the 1,132 that the United States detonated between 1945 and 1992.

....and much to my delight, I see that qoto has CIRCLES! I remember those from G+ so I'm liking it here already! <3
