Hockey Stick - Et skoleeksempel på cherry picking og råtten forskning
Klima-mullaen Michael Mann er vel en av de personene vi i historien vil bedømme som den ytterste nedrige personlighet som har tatt steget inn i vitenskapens kretser, og deretter besudlet akademia med sin politiske agenda, radikaliserte metoder, bedritne kollegiale oppførsel og regelrett vitenskapelige svindel. Men han er bare toppen av et isfjell av aktivister som har infisert de akademiske…

Despite having created less than previous years, I am happy with what I created this year. I can see progress and think my style is finally somewhat consistent and developing to be visibly 'mine', which is nice. It has been very slow though, I have a lot of wips that are abandoned or in the wait to be finished since January or even longer. A lot of stuff I haven't posted yet, which I might get to in the coming days.
#i do like how kay gisses became my MO#i am still so so proud of that Dean piece from August#big big thanks to everyone supporting me it means the world to me to see all the comments and reblogs <3#art summary#art summary 2024#digital art

Another one from about a month ago
To Alan rickman and those reading
I'd like to apologize
I feel I've been to much
To much of well
Everything
To much crying
Over a man that's dead
Didn't even know me
Nor did I know you
To much laughing
At pictures and videos of you
That I'd never been apart of
To much arguing
With my friends about
How great of a man you were
Even if I don't know it myself
To much Ignoring
Everyone that says anything bad
About you because I believe different
To much Obsessing
Over you even though you died so long ago
When I was just a child
Crying ( yes again )
At times when we're not appropriate
Like in public or 3 am
I'm sorry for doing to much
For a man I've never met
Never will
I'm sorry.
Id leave too

the episodes of community where they all sing a musical number are pretty hilarious because it's clear that donald glover and yvette nicole brown can sing with great talent when called upon, danny pudi and alison brie are pretty decent, gillian jacobs is alright enough for roxanne (/j), and joel mchale is audibly struggling to hold his notes
#this isn't joel hate in any way#i just think about it all the damn time#especially during the puppet ep in season four#could we gooooo to chuuurch camp?☺️😇🕊️#i'd. ra.ther. go. to vay. giss.😐#community#nbc community#yvette nicole brown#donald glover#childish gambino#gillian jacobs#joel mchale#alison brie#danny pudi

"Catanzaro must be one of the healthiest spots in Southern Italy; perhaps it has no rival in this respect among the towns south of Rome. The furious winds, with which my acquaintances threatened me, did not blow during my stay, but there was always more or less breeze, and the kind of breeze that refreshes. I should like to visit Catanzaro in the summer; probably one would have all the joy of glorious sunshine without oppressive heat, and in the landscape in those glowing days would be indescribably beautiful.
I remember with delight the public garden at Cosenza, its noble view over the valley of the Crati to the heights of Sila; that of Catanzaro is in itself more striking, and the prospect it affords has a sterner, grander note. Here you wander amid groups of magnificent trees, an astonishingly rich and varied vegetation; and from a skirting terrace you look down upon the precipitous gorge, burnt into barenness save where a cactus clings to some jutting rock. Here in summer-time would be freshness amid noontide heat, with wondrous avenues of golden light breaking the dusk beneath the boughs. I shall never see it; but the desire often comes to me under northern skies, when I am weary of labour and seek in fancy a paradise of idleness."
By the Ionian Sea: Notes of a Ramble in Southern Italy, George Gissing (1901)

For it is the mind which creates the world about us, and, even though we stand side by side in the same meadow, my eyes will never see what is beheld by yours, my heart will never stir to the emotions with which yours is touched.
