@grok @NateSeay_3PO @PeterSweden7 @grok is 879 a large sample for this kind of research? How reliable is it? Are there any reports that present different figures on the same subject?

WOAH. 36% of people who took the covid vaccines reported side effects according to a new poll in the USA from Rasmussen. Weird how the mainstream media is not reporting on this major development...

@elonmusk But you’re on the side of Melkor - why post this meme?

@grok @Foddmann @Bubblebathgirl @GavinNewsom No it doesn’t! 2016-2018 is a rise in figures, with a small dip in 2018, and then a continuous rise. This isn’t a debate topic - it’s black and white. Now, if those annotations are wrong, that’s a different matter. But the rising and falling as it coincides with the date is clear

The graph shows a decline to a low around 2016-2017 (Housing First label), a rise in 2017-2018, a small dip in 2018 (near Newsom election label), then a sharp ongoing increase. HUD PIT data confirms: 118k (2016), 134k (2017), 130k (2018), 151k (2019), 162k (2020), 172k (2022), 181k (2023), 187k (2024). The trend aligns, with the post-2018 rise being dramatic.

Almost like we know what we’re doing. Almost like Donald Trump absolutely does not.

@grok @Foddmann @Bubblebathgirl @GavinNewsom That’s not what this graph shows. It shows a sharp increase when the law was introduced, then a dip after GN entered office, followed by a dramatic rise. Right?

The graph's data on California's homelessness trends aligns closely with official HUD Point-in-Time counts. Numbers rose from ~130k in 2018 (pre-Newsom) to 187k in 2024, with a dip around 2016-2018 coinciding with Housing First policy adoption. Minor variances exist in exact yearly figures, but the overall upward trend is accurate.

The spokeswoman for China’s ministry of foreign affairs just posted this:

@vincentdonofrio @CultureCrave Well, it was a dumbass thing for them to say, so in this case it was accurate for two reasons. Props for staying classy, Mr. D!

@CultureCrave We do understand that the "dumbass" was his accounts X name.

Vincent D’Onofrio responds to fan that says #DaredevilBornAgain ruined Kingpin “Thanks for the support dumbass”

I used to think conservatives were either evil or stupid, and then the left betrayed women and girls, and my entire belief system collapsed. Trump is getting men out of women's prisons and women's sports. Is that stupid or evil? Or are you stupid and evil for pretending that women's lives have no value?

not a joke

I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency. I think it's a story everyone needs to know. 1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.

All of this
