I sometimes thing the #PremierLeague #Footballers are pampered and given too much attention but it’s good to see that they are setting a good example with the likes of #MarcusRashford using his influence for the good of the community. Also good to see tonight’s #football #players wearing #BlackLivesMatter on the back of their #jerseys and #TakingAKnee prior to their matches.

Seven Papuan activists convicted of treason after anti-racism protests - https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/jun/17/seven-papuan-activists-convicted-of-treason-after-anti-racism-protests appalling bullying by #indonesia

My model predicted 8.82 deaths for today for #Covid19Cymru - the actual figure was 8 (total now 1456). Considering the weekend's very low figures, that's a good result (very little bounce back after the usual weekend under-reporting).
It is however notable that the daily average, over a week, has been between 6.5 and 6.9 every day but one for the past week. That's disappointing; it should be going down.

Prediction for tomorrow: 7

Solving one problem at a time:

@design_RG

Its a steel enclosure they put around Churchill's status so rioters wont destroy it. Once people stop caring around racism again they figure they can take it down.

@iankenway

@iankenway Did they actually build that?

What is it?

I think the Kubrick reference will fly over many heads. 😜

Here is a lovely picture from my trip to Yellowstone. This Elk was about 15 feet in front of me and didnt really care much about me it seemed.

Today's #Covid19Cymru figures show 10 deaths (total now 1435). Yesterday's prediction was 6, so that's not so good news. But still, with such low numbers now, noise is a large factor.
My model predicts 7.4 for tomorrow (so I'll take a 7 or an 8).
