@SquareSupport@Square Aaaaand just received an email from @Square congratulating me on my new account. Is this a new fraudulent account? The original that they can't confirm they've closed? What an absolute clown show.
Always nice finding something on your want-to-read list on a hotel's book swap shelf. This time, @holland_tom's Persian Fire, in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Hoping some future traveler enjoys @dgjones's Essex Dogs as much as I did...
BREAKING NEWS: Cormac McCarthy, a preeminent voice in American literature over the better part of the past half-century, died today at his home in Santa Fe, N.M., his publisher, Knopf, confirmed. He was 89. Full obit to follow.
@artcrimeprof Maybe worth noting that while @NationalNAGPRA has erroneously used "MNI" for years, #NAGPRA itself refers to "sets." Not ideal for many reasons but probably best practice.
Why do @ProPublica (and others) characterize certain aspects of #NAGPRA as "loopholes," rather than carefully considered language, thoroughly debated, and in line with (circa 1989-1990) Congressional intent?
"Unrestricted interpretation based solely on geography, calling any ancient remains found in the [US] 'Native American' if they predate arrival of Europeans has no principle of limitation beyond geography. This does not appear to us to be what Congress had in mind." 969F.Supp614.
Not seeing much discussion of how the draft regs' novel concept of "geographical affiliation" goes directly against the 9th(!) Circuit's Bonnichsen decision. Is inviting a legal challenge @NationalNAGPRA 's intent? #nagpra
