@polarisera @warmbeverageenjoyer @quasi No, I did not.

Polls need to be compiled to see a trend and outliers should be dismissed.

Also, you need to look inside the poll to see the trend. The partisan splits give you sentiment; the independents help you see the trends.

Open that Reuters poll and take a gander. It would break your little MAGAt heart.

@polarisera @warmbeverageenjoyer @quasi 538 doesn't provide its own data. It's a compilation of other polls. Disney is cutting a lot of services. RCP, OTOH, is funded by a RW oligarch, and provides more right leaning partisan polls (eg Rasmussen) in its data.

Even there, 48.8 approval is underwater.

@Leyonhjelm @polarisera @warmbeverageenjoyer @quasi Math is hard, ain't it?

Whole discussion is how a little knowledge on polisera's part is a dangerous thing.

@polarisera @Leyonhjelm @warmbeverageenjoyer @quasi You mean how he predicted the race was close in 2024 or how he warned people that electoral college decides the election in 2016?

I realize you have a narrative. That narrative is that no one knows anything outside of your cult.

@polarisera @Leyonhjelm @warmbeverageenjoyer @quasi Yeah, babee!!

Oversampling is the problem here!

Happy Fat Tuesday to all who celebrate.

@ninapaley Doesn't have a 100% guarantee that you don't get the flu, but helps you fight it off. Standard disclaimer on all flu shots.

Fewer people got the vaccine this year, so more people got sick. Current number is more people died from flu than COVID.

We have a quademic rn: seasonal flu, COVID, bird flu and norovirus circulating.

Flu season worst in a decade

So far, there have been at least 29 million illnesses and 370,000 hospitalizations related to the flu -- the most since the 2015-2016 season, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly flu report.

@polarisera @ninapaley What we know: Not taking the flu shot makes the flu season worse.

@pwm @p played so hard.

a little bit of truth a lot of conjecture and outright lies, and they hit a homer into your heads.

@p Hardly son.

You've been played.

@p All hope of credibility. Any shred whatsoever.

(PSST: The NYTimes published a quite a lot of wikileaks until people started figuring out Assange has an agenda.)

@Jonny @p No. They're scared of real estate developers.

@p snort

You've destroyed any hope of credibility you could have hoped to have with that last sentence.

Do you even know that?

@p Yer, get back to me when you're trying to figure out whether you need to evacuate because you can see fires burning less than a mile away.

ItS tHe mEDiA'S fAuLt.

And Villaigrossa fucking someone not his wife has jack to do shit with anything whatsoever. RFK Jr fucked a NYTimes reporter, he got a cabinet position and the NYTimes fired her.

@p It's not partisan. It's an old saying tho, D's fall in love, R's fall in line.

Trump bashed FEMA and the recovery, and the Rs followed suit.

As for the "extreme exaggeration" -- hardly.

Chaos and confusion sewn while a local emergency is going on, specifically designed to undermine trust in local authorities who are providing safety tips and guidance, is trying to kill the people who need safety tips and guidance.

The reason he wasn't successful in sowing chaos and confusion about instructions the authorities were giving is that LA is the largest media market in the world, we have 7 local tv news stations, and not only did all of them provide 24 hour coverage and information, other media outlets came to LA and provided their services to those 7 stations.

@p Same people who claim FEMA wasn't there, but it was really neato that other states were sending crews?

Or the ones who spread rumors that Biden was trying to steal their house?

Not sure I'd trust bots on fedi.

What I know, Elon tried to kill my neighbors by spreading malicious rumors.

The U.S. Forest Service fired thousands of workers in the past week, including firefighters, biologists, and disaster recovery experts. Many were directly involved in western North Carolina recovery efforts after Helene.

@astarsscreams @KeepTakingTheSoma @GluedToTheScreen Pretty much how I heard about it.

2nd report disclosed the suspect killed her first husband, and they had a short interview with the victim's first wife. A fairly detailed report for a murder, but I'd expect that for a firefighter rn. Lots of interest because rn they're major heroes.

@KeepTakingTheSoma @GluedToTheScreen It's a funny thing. I haven't heard a single word blaming MAGA.
