One interesting thing about the California redistricting Prop 50 election is lawmakers in Texas, Missouri & North Carolina all redrew their congressional maps this year without having to go to the voters for approval and idk maybe voters in those states would like to change that

I live along an arterial road in Houston. I have been pondering some protest art to paint along my fence. Maybe this is something I could do since they removed the rainbow crosswalk. 🤔 🌈

We are living in the "everyone has an AI hammer, therefore everything is a nail" era of problem solving.

And it is extremely pervasive in tech & data circles.

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up

There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily

I had to do a double take on this map.

To really highlight “high” vs “low,” it’s clearer to use completely different colors instead of similar hues. The choice below reads like a sequential scale - light blue feels like a middle bin, not a low one.

Color opinions aside, interesting info!

Tell me something you do when you code that other people would tell you that you shouldn't do.

Tell me the rules you break!

I'll go first: I work in untitled files in the wrong project directories all the time. Like, all the time. Yes, I do tend to lose things 😂 #databs #rstats #python

I love this idea so much as a fellow early bird. Staying out late feels so unnatural to me. And exhausting.

Earlybirds Club is a dance party from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., started by two friends.

For the open source devotees out there, I've integrated @OpenFreeMapOrg into the #rstats {mapgl} package.

Do `maplibre(style = openfreemap_style("liberty"))` for an excellent street map with 3D buildings; "bright" & "positron" are also available.

Map with no API keys required!
