He/Him. I post interesting datapoints and charts about politics, economics, culture etc.

- Latin American countries are still heavily reliant on the US for exports, but trade partnerships with China are growing.
- Top visited websites globally (including Adult sites)
- Messi + DiCaprio = Major W for the name Leo
- No surprises here but nearly half of young men in the U.S. now say men face discrimination. This is up over 10% since 2019. Music to MAGA ears.
- US public opinion on Israel-Palestine is shifting markedly.
- US Universities with the Largest Endowments in 2024 These numbers are mindblowing to us minnows across the pond. Simply mindblowing.
- Wow. Americans spend a lot on their mommas.
- Interesting that most top Trump token holders reside outside the US. This follows Trump's dinner invitation to top holders, which spiked prices by 8.3%. All rather surreal.
- Support for Ukraine amongst US citizens looks to be rebounding. This is the impact of the Oval Office circus, Putin's ongoing aggression and Trump's hamfisted attempts to negotiate peace.
- Number #1 hits aren't covers anymore. Any ideas why this has happened?
- Interesting graph: America's Wealth Distribution by Generation
- U.S. fertility rate is approaching a record low. Trump believes a $5000 'baby bonus' is all it will take to arrest this trend.
- New Tesla registrations declining significantly across Europe. The MAGA effect.
- Trade deals take a LONG time.
- CEOs of S&P 500 Firms continue to be paid more and more. This trend is also gathering SPEED.
- More and more teens think social media is harmful. This surely becomes a major policy talking point in the next election.
- Donald Trump's current approval compared to the share of votes he won.
- Something that surprised me today: 1/3 of humanity still isn't online. And most of humanity wasn't online ten years ago.
- One of the reasons, perhaps, that Harvard has been emboldened to stand up to Trump's bullying: it isn't very reliant on govt. money.
- Putin's planning to retighten his grip on his puppet's strings with a meeting. newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/kremlin-says-p…
- The New York Times editorial includes a significant paragraph discussing Trump's first 100 days in office.
- Reposted by Benjamin Dillon (Charts Guy)Very nice example for your Time Series Are Tricksy files. When “Compared to the same time last year” leads you astray because the same (calendar) date is not the same (social) time. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
- FYSA: Article mentions issues from 2023 and 2024. Not just a Trump-era problem, but the trend persists. reuters.com/sustainability/boar…
- Except Russia, of course. cnbc.com/2025/05/01/trump-ir…
- Not exactly shocking news. pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/05/1/…
