RE: https://mstdn.social/@hkrn/116439816399727791 as a Monty Python fan, seeing the book casually in the background of one of their episodes got me to read the Naked Ape; but it was his documentaries for the BBC, The Human Animal and babytalk that really homed in for me his zoology of humans. those docus came out when i was still contemplating if i wanted to be a mom. to this day, i say motherhood is my own human zoo & “Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom”. blame Desmond Morris for that. apespeed Mr. Morris #RIP #zoology #sociology

Something I believe may be warrant discussion is how each instance is beholden to the rules of another by virtue of federation. Something that has given way to vibes-based reporting which our administrator has been unable to act on. This has, unfortunately, resulted in the slander of our instance. Branded as allegedly being "anti-moderation" and "bigoted" for choosing not to punish their users over frivolous reports or engage in the fediblock of the more fringe or controversial instances on here ourselves. So Fedizens, what are your thoughts?

@ColinHaynes@mastodon.scot It's interesting how the general public's idea of a #GlobalThermonuclearWar, rooted in fiction, has changed. #OnTheBeach is definitely an example of the idea of MAD, and #TomLehrer's "We'll all go together when we go!", that was present right up through #WarGames in 1983. Then in 1984 with #TheTerminator the idea returned that with just enough 'duck and cover!' we might survive a thing that in reality we could not. (They had to make the T-1000 in #TerminatorGenisys ridiculously pause to do banter with its target in order to make it evadable by a human. Killing machines would kill the species stone dead very effectively.) #USMovies #history #sociology
