This is like me pointing out the hypocrisies out loud. I do it so somebody says it out loud, so their truth doesn't become reality. I'm aware it is shouting into the void.

I called Duncan Hunter’s office and wrote him three different times asking for him to support repealing the widow tax when McNally posted about his ordeal. All I ever got from him was a generic form letter that addressed none of my concerns and they started spamming my email with a bunch of pro trump poo poo. What I am saying is gently caress that guy.

Jumping in on the 1491 talk to echo that it’s a must-read, and also it had a section in there derailing that bullshit “untamed wilderness” myth we were taught growing up. Large sections of the country were already cleared for Native American cities, but as someone else mentioned, the conquistadors’ diseases were like the world’s largest neutron bomb hitting the Americas.

Apparently there's a paper out there arguing that about half the effect that led to the little ice age following the medieval warm period can be attributed to the collapse of native American civilizations due to disease (particularly in the Amazon) and the following reforestation.

Ken Bone Comeback posted:No, not at all. The Monte Verde site in Chile has hearths, wooden posts, and human footprints. Best estimates using carbon isotope place the date at about 15ka, so actually just a bit older than the oldest material markers in North America. I'd qualify that, as Deloria has some extremely hoary ideas about Natives not having migrated here "because their mythology says they didn't."

I'm reading it as a geology student, and he claims to be a young earth creationist of a sort, so there are plenty of points in the book where it's like, "oooh kay". Still, he makes a lot of solid points about academia relying more on doctrine than evidence at intersections between science and indigenous culture or history. I've actually read a few things he wrote and always find them pretty powerful.

The easiest explanation for the earlier dates of first known habitation in places like Monte Verde vs. North America is that they were established by a maritime population who followed the coastline, and most of their habitation sites along the West Coast got drowned by rising sea levels.

If executive privilege protects doing these borderline(?) criminal acts, how could investigations in 2016 not be justified?

Unless these acts weren't criminal and therefore executive privilege isn't a protection? It's not a logic thing. There must always be a new conspiracy theory. If the FBI guy says Mifsud wasn't a plant, well then obviously they didn't listen to Georgie Papadop that Mifsud is Western intelligence. Or, how could the FBI guy know what the CIA was doing? Why didn't he talk to the CIA? Or wait, gently caress that, the CIA was in the tank for shillary, they can't be trusted. It's QAnon. There's never an ending, just a deeper conspiracy. Otherwise, Barr can't stick close to Donnie.

Therefore *thing* is bad-wrong and must be stopped. Anyone not working towards those goals is being purged from the top down.

This is perfectly reasonable, and probably correct, anyway. The biggest hurdle in understanding it is definitely a tandem between the sea level rise that followed the last glacial maxima and the perishability of their material culture. The sea level rise could also provide lots of opportunity for artifacts to be sedimented in place and aged by stratigraphy, much moreso had it occurred on a tectonically passive margin. Unfortunately, stuff like cedar bark skirts or yucca fiber sandles and what have you don't take much abuse, especially under those kind of geochemical regimes. Monte Verde was sedimented over by muddy stuff in anoxic conditions. Stuff left soaked in water, on a sandy beach or washed to sea isn't going to make it.

This is probably correct. I grew up in SE Alaska and when UA archeology applied ancient sea level maps to their searches they found a village site pretty much immediately. I think it was Prince of Wales with 12-13ka hearth sites right at spot where a salmon river used meet the ocean. There's just never money for underwater archeology besides modern shipwrecks. Or ancient American archeology. Or for much of any archeology in a rainforest because "what would be left anyway?" There's also a 12ka fish trap in the Juneau City Museum that is basically a carbon copy of designs from a couple hundred years ago. Found in anoxic mud in Montana Creek and excavated by UAS. Really cool stuff, I'm n'thing 1491 and the sequel 1493 as they are both fantastic books.

The USA had the biggest measles outbreak in ~40 years last year and then we get stuff like this. There's no new strain of measles, it hasn't gotten any tougher or more resistant to anything or easier to spread. This is 100% entirely due to people voluntarily choosing not to vaccinate. There is no other explanation than human stupidity.
