Another day on our first longer journey with JRV Hispaniola, my... Uhm, I suppose it's a "science frigate", with these stats?
Today we're visiting another Guardian site, one that I've never been to before. Not sure what I'll find here.

Sounds like he blindly bumped into federalism and state courts, but failed to understand what he had bumped into.
I was gonna say he didn't discover anything, but Columbus bumped into Hispaniola and didn't know what it was, so I guess discovery fits.
Poor guys didn't know what hit them.

In the 16th century I would guess he was a sailor, since you get very strange disjunctions like that from sailors (a south Asian in early colonial Hispaniola, for example) but then why would a sailor be in Madrid?

On his first voyage in 1492, Columbus traveled to what are now the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic).
Christopher Columbus discovered this area on December 5, 1492, and during his second expedition in 1493, he established Spain's first colony in the New World here.

Gross. Bees rented fossil molars. @royalsocietypublishing.org CT-scanned Hispaniola cave jaws (owl leftovers) and found mud brood cells inside empty tooth sockets, pollen packed for larvae, six generations deep. First bone-nesting bees on record. You people fight over tiny houses. (burp)

Also cue the Dominicans on Hispaniola who as early as 1510 were already developing a systematic critique of the Conquest, subjugation and genocide of native populations

All four CGs completed, and I'm back in Tionisla to tart up the new ship, before emarking on tonights "mystery" trip.
I named her "Hispaniola" since she will probably take over the role of my Mandalay "Jim Hawkins", as a long-range material farmer/explorer/prospector.
Just a toy right now, though.

Uh, sure, I do aim to give Dominicans citizenship as I am establishing public school system, among other things, to appease their liberal-tinted separatism movement, but two times more Haitians leave for the east of island than they are born in western Hispaniola.

On this day in 1538, the first institution of higher education in the new world was established.
St. Thomas Aquinas University was founded on the island of Hispaniola in what is now the Dominican Republic.

How did a Taíno storm-word reach every European coast?
Taíno hurakán (pre-1492) → Spanish huracán → English hurricane (1555) → ouragan, furacão, uragano, Hurrikan, orkaan, hurrikaani, hurrikán.
But only in Europe. Arabic, Mandarin, Turkish, Tagalog each named their own storms.

Twenty years after reporting from Port-au-Prince, my recent interview with Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader took me back to Haiti.
The two countries share the island of Hispaniola, and Haiti’s security crisis has direct implications for the long-term stability of its wealthier neighbor.

I started reading Slant the other day.
I read your QoA analysis and I noticed your comparing the Colonel’s regime in Hispaniola to that of Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. (I can’t stand that nasty little trumpian acolyte)
I came to the same conclusion on that when I was reading the book last week.
