Trying to make neat stuff since the 1970's. Mostly failing but, y'know, it's a process.

Well, this has been a long time coming. So, here it is. THREAD:

Years ago, I had the pleasure of working w/ a TV show as a fan-turned-social media teammate. It's all well-documented. Link in profile for more on that.

The Michael Schumacher logo looks like it was drawn by Osvaldo Cavandoli ("La Linea").

@LexiAlex It means we've had enough internet for the day.

That white haze up in the sky in #Toronto and central/eastern Ontario? That's smoke from wildfires in the Prairies, mainly from Alberta (circled in red). It will have an impact on today's high temperature keeping it a tad cooler.

@NativeApprops Hey there, mixed-heritage peer.

("Peer" group of heritage, not academia or accomplishments. You're way out of my league there.)

Just dropping by for some solidarity. Two countries, five backgrounds, and decades of getting comfy with it all. I sympathize with situation.

Cheers!

@walkemday @tskould @shelby3a @ABC Have a nice night.

I'm out.

[Angelo Barovier @Rancorr]

@walkemday @tskould @shelby3a @ABC Anyway, I remain convinced this was no "study" nor does it contain credible or verifiable statistics.

Academically, no argument exists which can refute that. And I would say it even if its conclusions supported my stance on gun ownership.

Citing its figures as factual is wrong.

@walkemday @tskould @shelby3a @ABC *supporting

(Sorry, rushed through the tweets without proofreading.)

[Angelo Barovier @Rancorr]

@walkemday @tskould @shelby3a @ABC But worst of all.

It's a poll, done as a survey, and the paper is a report.

...but the disingenuous, misinforming or ill-informed bad actors support gun ownership have leaned on it as comprehensive "study" and empirical "proof" when it, in fact, none of those things.

End.

@walkemday @tskould @shelby3a @ABC *but also absent

[Angelo Barovier @Rancorr]

@walkemday @tskould @shelby3a @ABC So, it's very interesting that this (self-declared as the largest and most comprehensive survey) is not only critically flawed by absent any peer review (as of this publishing) regarding methodology.

It's an interesting study but it's neither definitive nor unbiased.

@walkemday @tskould @shelby3a @ABC Nonsense.

Criminology studies (focused on statistics) gather incident figures from databases maintained by law enforcement or court records, accruing verifiable data in order to perform analysis.

They don't dress up a poll just so they can call it a study and cite statistics.

[Angelo Barovier @Rancorr]

@walkemday @tskould @shelby3a @ABC From what the abstract says, this paper analyzed a "survey" of a sample pool of Americans who were presented questions for them to answer.

It was a poll.

You're citing a glorified poll.

And the "data" was extrapolated (supposition) with no reliably credible corroboration.

[Angelo Barovier @Rancorr]

@theonlyschmitty @PaigeRTurner @SteveSpainhouer Cool.

So, now that the picture has been widely circulated, we can expect society to act and the violence will be reduced? Is that what you're suggesting?

Photos didn't stop WWII, by the way.
