No genuine scientist would ever ridicule skepticism. It is one of the defining features of an inquisitive mind. No genuine scientist would use the word “denier” to describe another scientist. No genuine scientist would claim a computer model is able to predict future climates.--Moore
Mom felt well all weekend.
This could be a long winter. The Steelers looked Pirate-like in their lack of high-level talent at the elite positions. Smith did not look like a first receiver--or perhaps their lack of a second receiver allowed the Patriots to take liberties. This did not look like a team that would be competitive on the upper level of the league.
The Patriot defense did look elite. And their left tackle, in his first pro game, stood up well against the feared Dupree.
And how is it that Brown ends up with exactly what he wanted, shafting both the Steelers and the Raiders?
Got a bit discombobulated today with the stuff here.
According to the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there has been no systematic increase in the frequency of extreme weather events, and the ongoing rise in sea level that began with the end of the ice age continues with no great increase in magnitude. The constancy of land-based records is obvious in data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The quote above raises the major--and unspoken--objection to the climate debate. Scientists do not ridicule or hound those who disagree. That is a particularly political and/or religious quality. Anyone with a scientific mind would recognize such intolerance as specifically unscientific.

Theodore Roosevelt, who popularized the phrase “race suicide,” wrote to a eugenicist that “the inescapable duty of the good citizen of the right type is to leave his or her blood behind him in the world, and that we have no business to permit the perpetuation of citizens of the wrong type.” Woodrow Wilson warned against the “corruption of foreign blood” and “ever-deteriorating” genetic material.
The government has hit and raised the debt limit 78 times since 1960, some 49 under Republican administrations and 29 under Democrats. And this time will be the same. Anger and threats will fill the airways. Righteous indignation will reign. Why is that? Because it gives these people a stage and an opportunity to pontificate.

In 2017, according to statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than eleven thousand Americans died from overdose deaths involving benzodiazepines, a class of anti-anxiety drugs that includes Xanax and Valium. Those deaths — most of which also involved opioids — constituted a sixth of all U.S. overdose deaths that year, and a ten-fold increase since 1999.

On this day in 1942, a Japanese floatplane dropped incendiary bombs on an Oregon state forest—the first and only air attack on the U.S. mainland in the war.
Perspective
Andrew Sullivan has a lot of good to say:
"The left is correct that Americans are racist and sexist; but so are all humans. The question is whether, at this point in time, America has adequately managed to contain, ameliorate, and discourage these deeply human traits. I’d say that by any reasonable standards in history or the contemporary world, America is a miracle of multiracial and multicultural harmony. There’s more to do and accomplish, but the standard should be what’s doable within the framework of human nature, not perfection."
