Retired from SAS. I used to write blog posts about interesting data, using custom graphs and maps I created.

An interesting 'exercise' in maps ...
How many edges does the U.S. need before it looks right?

"Why can’t an American do this instead of you?” is the question rattling immigration attorneys. It's coming up in interviews for the uncapped L-1B and E-2 visas. Solid question.

Interesting data on deaths in the US ...
Deaths in the US so far in 2026, by cause: Drowning: approximately 1000 (22 kids in Texas alone) Mushroom poisoning: 4 Rattlesnake: 3 Lightning: 2 Marathon: 1 Measles: 0 And, oh yeah, overdose: approximately 30000 Let's try to scare people some MORE about measles, huh?

STUDY FINDS SUNSCREEN USE LINKED TO DRAMATICALLY HIGHER RISK OF MULTIPLE SKIN CANCERS A UK Biobank analysis of 470,000 people found sunscreen users faced significantly higher risk of: - MELANOMA: 292% - BASAL CELL CARCINOMA: 140% - SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA: 126% This is what happens when you slather rapidly absorbed hormone disrupting chemicals all over your body while blocking vitamin D — one of the body’s key defenses against cancer. These dramatic cancer signals remained even after accounting for major skin cancer risk factors: age, sex, skin type, tanning ability, sunburn history, sunlamp use, and time spent outdoors.
🔻 SUNSCREEN ENTERS YOUR BLOODSTREAM IN UNDER 24 HOURS. THE FDA CONFIRMED THIS IN 2019. THEY DID NOT PULL A SINGLE PRODUCT. THEY TOLD YOU TO KEEP APPLYING. In January 2020, a randomized clinical trial published in JAMA found that six active sunscreen chemicals — including oxybenzone and avobenzone — absorb into the bloodstream after a single application. Not after years. After one use. At concentrations exceeding the FDA's own safety threshold by 180x to 500x. The FDA did not recall them. They issued a statement: "Continue to use sunscreen." Oxybenzone is a confirmed endocrine disruptor. It mimics estrogen. It crosses the placental barrier. It has been found in 97% of Americans tested. It is in breast milk. It is in amniotic fluid. It is in your children before they are born. A former formulation chemist — 11 years at a top-3 sunscreen manufacturer: "We had internal absorption data by 2014. Full transdermal penetration within 26 minutes of application. The compounds don't sit on the skin. They were never designed to. The delivery mechanism is identical to a pharmaceutical patch. We knew this. The mitigation strategy was never reformulation — it was public messaging. Keep the consumer applying. The margins on chemical sunscreens are 1,400% above production cost. Mineral alternatives cost 4x more to produce. The decision was financial. Every internal document confirmed that." They told you the sun causes cancer. What they didn't tell you: Vitamin D — produced only through direct sun exposure — is the single most critical regulator of immune surveillance against malignant cells. A 2023 meta-analysis confirmed: Vitamin D deficiency correlates with a 30-60% increased risk of colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers. They blocked the one thing your immune system needs to fight cancer. Then sold you a chemical that enters your blood and mimics hormones. Melanoma rates have increased 320% since 1975 — the exact period sunscreen use became widespread. The paradox is published. McGill University, 2023: "Sunscreen usage is climbing, but so are melanoma and skin cancer rates." They didn't protect you from cancer. They removed your defense against it and charged you $14 a bottle. 15 minutes of direct sun daily. No screen. Arms and face exposed. Your body produces 10,000-20,000 IU of Vitamin D in that window — the amount they sell you in pills because they blocked the free version. CODE: JAMA-2020-6CHEM / OXYBENZONE-97PCT / VIT-D-IMMUNE / MELANOMA-320-1975 / MCGILL-PARADOX-2023 ⟁ They made you afraid of the sun so they could sell you a hormone disruptor and call it protection. The sun is free. That's why they taught you to fear it. Share this.

What a 'suspicious' graph (and it didn't have to be!) Changing the units on the y-axis, and changing the number of years between tick marks on the x-axis ... why?!?
🧵 China’s population collapse is now mathematically irreversible. There simply aren’t enough women left of childbearing age. Even if the fertility rate magically returned to replacement level (2.1 children per woman) tomorrow, the country would still lose more than 40% of its population by 2100. It won't. The real number is 75%. There's nothing like it in history. 🧵

🚨BREAKING:🚨"THE JUDICIAL COUP": MASSIVE RING OF FEDERAL JUDGES CAUGHT IN GROUP CHAT PLOTTING TO WEAPONIZE JUDICIAL BRANCH TO TAKE DOWN PRESIDENT TRUMP, EFFORT BEING LED BY "TRUMP HATING" DC JUDGE RICHARD LEON - A sting operation approved by new Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte has reportedly uncovered an encrypted group chat on the messaging app Telegram wherein DOZENS OF DEMOCRAT AND RINO FEDERAL JUDGES HAVE BEEN CAUGHT PLOTTING A COUP to weaponize the judicial branch to undermine the agenda of President Trump in an effort to DESTROY his presidency. This TREASONOUS PLOT is allegedly being led by TRUMP HATING DC judge Richard Leon, who has been RELENTLESSLY BLOCKING President Trump's efforts to build a White House ballroom and openly putting our national security at risk in the process. The group chat is said to include not only DAILY WAR PLANS on battling The Trump administration - but memes as well as VILE, JUVENILE PERSONAL INSULTS directed at President Trump by the activist judges, which along with Leon allegedly include Biden-appointed radical left Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Obama-appointed DC judge Tanya Chutkan who infamously presided over President Trump's politically motivated criminal case and ANTI-TRUMP DC Chief Justice James Boasberg, among A LAUNDRY LIST OF OTHERS. Do YOU want Director Pulte to RELEASE THE FULL LIST of these TRUMP HATING JUDICIAL ACTIVISTS WEARING ROBES who are involved in this ongoing COUP ATTEMPT against President Trump and the 80 million of us who elected him?

I hadn't even imagined this kind of fraud ...
🇮🇳🇺🇸 Indian businessman Chandrakant Patel faces 15 years in prison for bribing four Louisiana police chiefs. The police chiefs falsified 650 armed robbery reports, allowing 300 Indian immigrants to obtain U-visas as fake crime victims. Four involved officers face up to 5 years.

Hopefully SAS' HR is checking into this!
🚨TRUMP JUST CUT H-1B VISAS BY 90% A massive bust in India seizes over 100,000 fake university degrees sold for H1B visa fraud involving 28 universities, exposing how up to 90% of Indian applications are fraudulent and harming American workers. President Trump's policies, including $100,000 fees and minimum wages, slash H1B abuse by 90%, cut asylum by 99%, and deliver net negative migration for the first time since 1935, while also lowering home prices. It's time to shut down the scams, protect our workers, and put America First 🇺🇸
