JJoyful Public Speaking (from fear to joy· May 20, 2026A botched pie chart about homelessness from a discussion of the 2025 Chapman Survey of American FearsOn October 23, 2025 I blogged about how In the eleventh Chapman Survey of American Fears for 2025, public speaking only was ranked #46 of 67 fears at 33.7%. That survey had some additional questions with four possible agreement levels of Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, or Strongly Disagree. Six of them, Q20 in their Methods Report, asked about homeless people. For example, Q20A was: “Please indicate your level of agreement with the following statements – Homeless people should be allowed to live on the streets or in tents.” There was an article titled Chapman Survey of American Fears 2025 Key Findings, which has a section on Homelessness that included a miscaptioned pie chart (by Emma Boyd) titled OPINIONS OF HOMLESSNESS POLICY which I have shown above with added annotations. The chart caption claims to show the percent who Strongly Agree or Agree, but really does not. I added the correct percent in green. The sum for all six questions is 372.3%, and the percents she shows were rescaled to add to a hundred - divided by a factor of 3.72. The largest percent, which she placed at the lower left, really is 92.4%, but she instead shows 24.8%. Also, for pie charts the usual layout is to start with the largest wedge beginning at 12 o’clock and then go clockwise in decreasing order. More careful editing could have caught these problems.

Support Renewable Energy Now TODAY'S TOPLINES Money talks. Yesterday, in the most expensive U.S. House primary race ever, Kentucky Republicans ousted Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a critic of Trump and a vocal proponent of releasing the Epstein files, in favor of MAGA-endorsed Ed Gallrein, a retired Navy SEAL who’s never held political office. The United Democracy Project, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) affiliated super PAC, and the Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund helped clinch the upset after spending a collective $8 million to unseat Massie, who has opposed U.S. military aid to Israel and Trump’s war on Iran.🇮🇱 “Pro-Israel Americans are proud to back candidates who support a strong alliance and help defeat those who work to undermine it,” AIPAC posted in celebration of Massie’s defeat last night.🤑 Overall, outside PACs spent more than $25 million on the primary battle, including $7.5 million just from the billionaire-backed MAGA KY PAC.
