🧡 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid.

A pissed off thread using data.

Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10

#BobDylan #Leeds last night. Brilliant! Seats right hand side of the stage, bottom of the tiers; a privilege to see his fingers playing piano! Moved to be in the presence of such greatness. Busker outside Morrisons belting out Like a Rolling Stone to a huge crowd in pouring rain also pretty good!

Harvard Gazette:
Gazette: β€œYou are the mother of two In ten years you have produced three novels and two short-story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?”
Groff: β€œI understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.”
