this is pornography 😳 I was offended when an history account on mastodon was willfully posting censored photos of antiquity artifacts, claiming they didn’t want to offended anyone … this is what happens when you give in to ignorance and hypocrisy… the people who voted in a guy who grabs women by the pussy are offended by David’s flaccid pines tallahassee.com/story/news/edu

#*denialism etc. "At the heart of the dispute is the fundamental issue: science is a secular pursuit, and it is impossible for it to be otherwise. The secular character of science does not mean that it necessarily repudiates the existence of the Divine. But it does mean that the validation of scientific truths does not rely on any form of spiritual authority; observation, experimentation, and logic are the sole arbiters which decide what is true or false. Scientists are free to be as religious as they please, but science recognizes no laws outside its own." ---Hoodbhoy (1991) Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and the Battle for Rationality, Zed Books.

Finally, some are connecting the dots … “It has become almost tragically ironic that the US government uses the language of human rights to condemn state abuses against citizens of other countries, be that in Iran, or Belarus. These norms must be deployed against the state here at home as well. And for too long, the US has been able to avoid that type of international scrutiny,” theguardian.com/world/2023/mar
