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…

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)

It is familiarity with life that makes time speed quickly. When every day is a step in the unknown, as for children, the days are long with gathering of experience.

I love Gissing, but I've never heard of this one. I found it in the used bookstore today and risked my life climbing the shelves to reach it, so it better be good.
