A Famous Climate Scientist Is In Court With Big Stakes For Attacks On Science
The attacks came from groups that reject climate science, some funded by the fossil fuel industry. In the midst of these types of attacks — including the hacking of Mann’s and other scientists’ emails by unknown hackers — Penn State, where Mann was then working, opened an investigation into his research. Penn State, as well as the National Science Foundation, found no evidence of scientific misconduct. But a policy analyst and an author wrote that they were not convinced. The trial in D.C. Superior Court involves posts from right-wing author Mark Steyn and policy analyst Rand Simberg. In an online post, Simberg compared Mann to former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, a convicted child sex abuser. Simberg wrote that Mann was the “Sandusky of climate science,” writing that Mann “molested and tortured data (PDF).” Steyn called Mann’s research fraudulent. Mann sued the two men for defamation. Mann also sued the publishers of the posts, National Review and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, but in 2021, the court ruled they couldn’t be held liable.
In court, Mann has argued that he lost funding and research opportunities. Steyn said in court that if Penn State’s president, Graham Spanier, covered up child sexual assault, why wouldn’t he cover up for Mann’s science. The science in question used ice cores and tree rings to estimate Earth’s past temperatures. “If Graham Spanier is prepared to cover up child rape, week in, week out, year in, year out, why would he be the least bit squeamish about covering up a bit of hanky panky with the tree rings and the ice cores?” Steyn asked the court. Mann and Steyn declined to speak to NPR during the ongoing trial. One of Simberg’s lawyers, Victoria Weatherford, said “inflammatory does not equal defamatory” and that her client is allowed to express his opinion, even if it were wrong. “No matter how offensive or distasteful or heated it is,” Weatherford tells NPR, “that speech is absolutely protected under the First Amendment when it’s said against a public figure, if the person saying it believed that what they said was true.”

Big sauce wants your condiment data
As tech conglomerates and moneyed men call for AI dealers to pump their brakes, I believe another emergent technology, Heinz Remix, warrants close examination. At first, Heinz Remix simply appears to be a mix-n-match soda dispenser — for sauce. Yet, a great deal more is going on beneath the surface. This is about responsibility, in […]

I have big boobs – I did a bikini haul and found the best tops to ‘support the girls’ and keep things from spilling out
A TIKTOKER has found the best bikini tops for those who have a bigger bust – she says these tops “support the girls” and keeps things from spilling out.
As summer approaches, shoppers are scrambling to find the perfect swimsuit, but finding one that supports all your assets while also being comfortable might seem daunting.

She said she was looking for tops that ‘supported the girls’ while also being comfortable to wear[/caption]
Monika Mancini (@monikkamancini) started a series on her TikTok account where she shared her shopping haul of bikini tops for larger busts.
The first brand she decided to showcase was Abercrombie, saying she bought every single style that was available.
“Okay, damn. We’re starting really strong,” Monika said as she modeled the first top.
She tried on the Wide Strap Pleated Underwire Bikini Top in the color green and was quick to reveal how comfortable it was.
“Not only does it have adjustable straps but this is also adjustable,” she said pointing towards the waistband at the back of the bikini top.
The next top, however, wasn’t a winner as Monika complained that the straps of the top were digging into her shoulder.
“I feel like there’s not much support with this one,” she said. “Also getting some spillage on the side.”
However, with the third top, Monika said she could play beach volleyball with it.
“Supporting the girls and has nice thick straps,” she said.
The TikToker added that the style of the cups made her chest “appear a lot smaller.”
The last top Monika tried on was one that she doesn’t usually gravitate toward.
“I’ve honestly never had a triangle bikini top fit me so well,” she said.
“I’m not getting any side boob here,” she added, pointing toward the sides of the bikini top. “It’s really supportive.”
She also explained that the straps of the top didn’t tie around the neck, avoiding any neck pain while wearing it.
The top had adjustable straps around the shoulders and at the waistband.
“These are definitely the kinds of tops you wanna look for when you have a bigger chest,” she said.
“Because anything around the shoulder or, like, neck kills.”
Her video received nearly 70,000 views and several comments from people raving about her reviews.
“Literally so helpful,” wrote one person. “Thank you.”
Another person said: “I’m a 30DD and got the black curve love one in xs and it was perfect! I was soo pleased.”
“These fit me like a glove!” wrote a third person. “Swimsuits NEVER fit me as a 32G.”
This black top was a big winner, with Monika saying she could probably play beach volleyball with it on[/caption]

I’m plus-size with big, saggy boobs – my Amazon secret weapon has a ‘crazy’ effect on your girls, I’m obsessed
A PLUS-SIZE woman has shared one product that helps lift her “saggy” boobs.
She said she’s obsessed with the affordable product and its “crazy” effect it has on her girls.
Chiara (@baldiechi) shared the product recommendation in a video with over 290,000 TikTok followers.
She reacted to another influencer’s attempt at using boob tape: “If you’ve got big ti***s, do not buy that tape,” she said.
She held up a similar roll of tape, explaining that she already made the mistake of trying it out.
“I have big saggy ti****s and the only tape I will use is this one,” she said, holding up a wider roll of boob tape, $13.
“It’s literally double the width of the original tape and just to show you how good it works this is the girls with no tape at all,” she said, showing off her chest in a brown T-shirt.
She demonstrated cutting out a big piece of tape and utilizing the lift method the girl showed in the video she reacted to.
She went off-camera to apply the tape on one boob and came back to show the difference on her chest.
“This is the difference between one piece of tape and nothing,” she said.
“That is crazy… that is crazy!” she said in shock.
She added that the tape was incredibly long-wearing: “I literally wore it from 10am until past midnight and it was perfect still and literally seamless,” she said.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her recommendation.
“You’re literally a queen for never gatekeeping,” said one commenter.
“I have been influenced!! Runninggg to the Amazone storefront,” said another.
“Thank you so much u angel!” said a third.

Save Big On PS5 Exclusive Games, Great Accessories, And More
This month is largely about Tears of the Kingdom–but if you’re a PS5 owner, there are still tons of great games to check out. In fact, there’s a surprising number of great deals going on that make it easy to pick up blockbusters you may have missed over the past year.
Elden Ring, which is down to just $48 and is one of the lowest prices we’ve yet to see for the 2022 Game of the Year. It offers a world that’s just as sprawling and mysterious as Tears of the Kingdom, making it a good (albeit difficult) alternative for PS5 owners. You can also snag a preowned copy of God of War: Ragnarok for $40, which is another open-world epic that’s every bit as fun as Elden Ring.
Beyond those juggernauts, you’ll find The Callisto Protocol for $25 (down from $50), Deathloop for $20 (down from $60), and Forspoken for $30 (down from $70). The latter was met with mixed reviews at launch, but it’s definitely worth checking out now that its price is radically reduced. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but its magical world and unique combat system are worth the new price of admission.
Games are seeing the best discounts right now, but there are a handful of accessories worth considering, too. The premium SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P Wireless Gaming Headset is now just $155 (down from $180), while the Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset is listed for $49 (down from $60). And if you need to expand your internal SSD, check out this 1TB model from WD Black, which is $90 (down from $180).
