Democratic front-runners in some of the toughest midterm races are betting that collaborating with Hasan Piker, a far-left internet personality who once said America deserved the 9/11 terrorist attacks, will attract more voters than it will repel. Francesca Hong, the Wisconsin front-runner for the Democratic nomination for governor, rallied alongside Mr. Piker on Sunday in South Milwaukee. Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Democrat, joined them. “Michigan is not a swing state, and neither is Wisconsin,” Mr. Piker said. “They’ve been turned into swing states because they’ve left you behind, but we are going to bring back the working class to both Wisconsin and to Michigan. A Republican will never be elected in this state ever again once our movement is done.” Michigan and Wisconsin are quintessential swing states. Both have had close races in almost every statewide election of the 21st century. Abdul El-Sayed, the front-runner in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary Tuesday, has also repeatedly campaigned alongside Mr. Piker. Boasting 3.1 million followers on the streaming platform Twitch, 1.9 million YouTube subscribers and 1.7 million followers on X, Mr. Piker is a leading voice of the socialist left. He has a history of controversial comments, such as calling Mao Zedong “one

Crowd watch performance at Mundi Mundi Bash 2025 Paul Bramble Trending on Billboard Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash has sold out its 2026 edition, with nearly 15,000 people expected to attend the outback Australian music festival later this month.

https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2026/07/unforced-variations-july-2026/#comment-850169 “B: Changes its mind when the science at the bottom changes” Let us make a case study over this claim.. Inamdar, Ramanathan 1998: In summary, lapse rate changes for the annual cycle are not a valid analog for longer timescale climate changes. However, for reasons given below, the discrepancy in lapse rate changes between observations and GCMs do not alter our conclusion on the role of water vapor feedback. The observed annual cycle warming decreases with altitude, the decadal-scale warming remains roughly constant with altitude, while the GCM warming increases with altitude. When atmospheric warming is not so large as the surface warming, the enhanced emission to space is not so large (when compared with the situation when the warming is about the same at all altitudes), which in turn enhances dGa/dTs, i.e., a positive feedback. However, at the same time, in a fixed relative humidity environment, smaller atmospheric warming implies a smaller increase in absolute humidity, which suppresses some of the increase in dGa/dTs from the lapse rate feedback. Because of these two competing effects, the lapse rate has less than 10% influence on dGa/dTs. What happened here is that after publishing a number of papers using the

Home > General News > Oklahoma appeals court tosses out stalking conviction related to man’s YouTube rant  The Oklahoma Judicial Center is the headquarters of the Oklahoma Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals. (Photo/Carmen Forman, Oklahoma Voice) Summary: – The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals dismissed a stalking conviction tied to a man’s public YouTube video about his ex-wife. – The court said state law targets unwanted conduct directed at a person rather than speech about someone. – The ruling examined the balance between free expression and protections against harassment. OKLAHOMA CITY — A Bryan County man’s decision to post a 40-minute rant about his ex-wife on YouTube doesn’t constitute stalking, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ruled. In an order released Thursday, the state’s high court for criminal matters ordered the case against Lon Brandon Meeks, 45, dismissed. The high court ruled that the state’s anti-stalking law is designed to “shield a person from unwanted conduct,” not “censor someone from randomly talking negatively about a third party to others.” The court said the law prohibits contact “directed toward” a person, not “communication about a person.” Meeks, who was prosecuted in Bryan County District Court, was sentenced in 2025
