Sports fan, actuary, likes cakes. The earth isn't flat, vaccines are good and Covid is bad. A little sweary and part of the 77th.

I was just cleaning up my hard disk and found this all time classic from Jimmy Greaves that I snipped a while back. It gets me every time!

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

Not sure how the "momentum" stat is produced this looks like a reasonably dominant 45 minutes for a world cup game.

This is, by far, the Trump post on Truth Social that has the most push-back from MAGAs.

Not sure why, but this part of Trump's rambing 480 word single paragraph rant made me laugh.

This is an interesting chart from UK ONS data. The standardised mortality rate is an average for a specific profile of lives, so you get consistency each year. It shows the slow down in improvements from around 2013, the uptick around covid, and a reduction since then.

Searching "Prince Andrew" on Truth Social right now is amazing. The people there genuinely think that Trump and his mates are in no way implicated in any aspect of this and proclaim relief that some truths are coming out. You see posts like these, and every single one of these posters is a MAGA.

Interesting news from Truth Social. The MAGAs there are very angry that Bill Gates (who they hate not because he's a prick but because he's pro vaccine) is mentioned in the Epstein files. These people are beyond repair.

I'm sure that the clear majority of Americans want to leave Greenland alone, but over at Truth Social the grifters/morons are of course coming up with all sorts of reasons why their orange leader is bang on. It's an odd mix of dishonestly, delusion and weirdness.

I think that it's hard to overstate how much anti-vax/anti-science sentiment exists in the US right now, and it seems to be getting worse (esp since the vile CDC statement issued by RFK Jr this week). It exists everywhere, and cost 82 kids in Samoa their lives in 2019, but the data is chilling.

Anti-vaxers on Facebook are getting very excited now as this text has appeared on the CDC site. This is clearly RFK Jr's doing and the same people who regard Andrew Wakefield as a hero are loving this win for idiocy v science.

Truth Social have their own AI called "Truth Search AI". It's clearly been programmed to give the Trump steer but it usually can't quite manage it as much as Trump would like, though this may change. This is how hard it tries. Look at the sources!

Thought I'd check in on Truth Social - turns out that many MAGAs are actually angry about the new bill, as illegals are getting too much of something or other. And Trump posts a narcissistic nausiating AI video of his heavenly life and MAGAs are loving it.

I've noticed recently that MAGAs don't seem to use the phrase "snowflake" as much as they used to. I can only think that even they realise that their leader is the most pathetic childish crybaby in the world.

Riley Gaines is getting a lot of attention in the US (she once tied for fifth in a race with a trans swimmer, moaned non-stop, and this made her famous and a hero of the right). I genuinely think that she may be the world's stupidest person. Her Twitter account is just amazing!

Looking at the people RJK Jr has picked to form his vaccine advisory panel it's right to focus on Malone, but my god one of his picks that I looked up at random (Retsef Levi) is totally unfit for any panel. It's like a crank cirus - he even has Cartland and Kirsch supporting him on Twitter.

Holy smokes, the MAGAs on Truth Social are very angry at Amazon and this does give me mixed feelings! It seems like MAGAs really want less info on how the price is calculated and now they have it. Very odd but nothing needs to make sense in MAGA world.

You just can't parody this. Trump has posted on Truth Social about a 31 page manifesto "National Stategy to End the Use of Paper Straws". These are from actual snips he posted, with his highlighting. It's not the worst thing he'd doing but no human being has even been this pathetic.

It's hard to overstate how utterly insane the MAGA base is when it comes to vaccines (well, anything really, but this issue stands out). Truth Social may not represent a majority view but it does give an insight into the MAGA base and explains when lunatics like RFK Jr was appointed.

People on Truth Social are very angry about Russell Brand being charged. This is example number 345 of why it's annoying when people want to suggest that people in MAGA world are generally decent, but just a bit simple and gullible. Some are, yes, but most are just revolting people.
