Whether the Testimonium Flavianumin (Josephus' description of Jesus in Antiquities) was entirely a Christian insert or the section was just edited by Christians is debated, however there's consensus that Josephus' reference to "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James" in Antiquities is authentic.

of course it wouldn't dim it in the same way as a dolphin; cows and dolphins are different animals. this is clearly a real photo, you're just sowing confusion and distrust in order to break the beautiful fraternity between cows and dolphins

This completely fails to address the actual gaps in scientific animal care legislation, in this case lack of oversight to make sure they actually adhered to the CCAC guidelines and a major lack of transparency. This legislation just sets back science that has good reason to use dogs as model organisms while letting abuse of other animals continue (especially non-government-funded work which has no requirement to follow CCAC rules!)

And it's entirely the tech companies making their own bed and then laying in it. In the few jurisdictions where the engineering regulatory colleges won out in protecting their title, there's a slough of highly qualified Professional Software Engineers who've graduated from accredited programs alongside the people who grad from more theory-based compsci programs

They were effective anti-communists. Same reason after the War the US cuddled up with the essentially fascist regimes of Salazar and Franco.

Broke: Whales are fish because they look like other fish

Woke: Whales aren't fish because they're in the class Mammalia, not Pisces

Bespoke: Whales are fish because any monophyletic group that encompasses all the fishes must also include the clade Tetrapoda

Artichoke: Whales aren't fish because fishes are a paraphyletic group that includes the entire clade Vertebrata at the exclusion of the clade Tetrapoda.

Stick and Poke: Whales are fish because they've developed the same bodyplan and are in the same ecological niche as the pelagic fishes.

Osoviakhim was somewhat more ideologically consistent than Paperclip. The scientists weren't invited to the USSR with promises of cushy jobs and immunity from prosecution: they were forced from their homes, loaded onto freight trains, and made to work. It was part of the wider program of the Allies using the forced labour of ethnic Germans as a means of war reparations.

The main reason is because journals and newspapers needed to fit as much text on as little paper as humanely possible. Multiple columns means you can make line spacing and margins smaller while still being reasonably (but not ideally) readable.

Is it another thing? I don't see how this is different from respecting areas that are held sacred by different religions, like much of the major holy sites in India or Palestine-Israel. Just because it's shared that doesn't give you a right to desecration.

The states that have claims over Antarctica exercise no effective jurisdiction over them. The Antarctic Treaty basically just confirms their existence, gives the US and USSR the right to each make one whenever they want, and then moves on to laying out what can and can't be done on the continent without regard to the claims.
