The framing of climate change skepticism as denial is, Randall argues, a manufactured concept designed to discredit anyone examining the assumptions beneath the narrative. The specific assumption he identifies is one that fundamentally alters how the data should be interpreted - the measurements of glacier recession being used to support the climate change narrative are being taken from the point at which those glaciers were at their largest in 10,000 years. That context is not incidental. It is the entire argument.
If glaciers are being measured from their maximum extent in a 10,000 year cycle, then their recession is not necessarily evidence of an unprecedented human-caused warming trend - it may simply be evidence of a natural cycle returning toward its mean. Randall argues this is not being disclosed to the public, and that the omission is deliberate. The debate, he suggests, is not between scientists who accept climate change and deniers who reject it. It is between people who accept the baseline measurement uncritically and those who have examined the assumptions behind it and found them wanting.

Over a dozen NJ unions representing over 140,000 workers are loudly opposing Governor Murphy’s proposed 37% increase in healthcare costs. We are calling on the legislature to return to Trenton and reverse this harmful cut to the State Health Benefits Plan!

Others have been elected in spite of being obnoxious. It’s quite a feat to get elected BECAUSE you’re obnoxious.
But there’s another, better reason. Voters fed up with being told they must be racist just because they’re white. And patronised if they deny women can have penises.

As the king of the Swifties people are asking me what I think of her Kamala endorsement. I don't care at all. People can vote for whoever they want in this country. How somebody votes will never change my opinion of a person. I'm voting the other way but to each their own

In 1914, a young Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie in Sarajevo, triggering the outbreak of World War I.
However, the assassination was not a simple act of fate, but rather a result of a series of coincidences and blunders. Princip was part of a group of six conspirators who had planned to kill the archduke as he drove through the city in an open car. However, their first attempt failed when one of them threw a bomb that bounced off the car and exploded behind it, injuring some bystanders.
The archduke's car sped away and the other conspirators lost their chance to shoot him. Princip, who had been stationed near a bridge, gave up and went to a nearby cafe to get a sandwich.
Meanwhile, the archduke decided to visit the hospital where the bomb victims were taken, but his driver took a wrong turn and ended up on the same street where Princip was eating. As fate would have it, the car stopped right in front of the cafe, giving Princip the opportunity to shoot the archduke and his wife at point-blank range.
The assassination precipitated the crisis which led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia and the start of World War I.
The first image is of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie riding in an open carriage shortly before their assassination. The second photo is of the killer, Gavrilo Princip.
