In 2010 we had managed capitalism in America. The political chaos and race to fascism IS the #AI problem. There will not be managed capitalism in America in 2030. In 2030 we'll either have #Socialism or #Fascism. AI has taken away any possibility of our future being managed capitalism.

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign, which I don't think people can wrap their heads around.

#RStats - I know this will be a bit of a shocker, but I use R/dbplyr/dplyr to think, but deploy in dbt/SQL. The work I do is literally NOT rocket science, but effing subtle and easy to get the order wrong. R and variable views make debugging MUCH easier and faster than jumping straigth to SQL.

What got me thinking about "Full Stack Data Science" was my move from RStudio to Positron. I'm moving because I have to work in SQL, DBT, Perl and R. The DS police may come arrest me for doing Perl debugging in Positron, but I'm ready to stand up for my beliefs. #Rstats

Listen……are you hearing anything out of the “state’s rights” people, now that TACO wants to federalize elections?
Anything at all?
Yeah….me neither.
I continue to be stunned at how little the right actually believed the talking points they’ve been spewing for the last 50+ years.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

#dbt is the Jira of data orchestration
#rstats I spent all day with dbt applying real world use cases. Honestly, dbt is raunchy. Predictability and observability are poor and the Jinja templating is an ugly beast when applied to large sql. Have to use it.

Ladies and gentleman, the apotheosis of male leadership for conservatives is a septuagenarian with the emotional restraint of a spoiled 5 year old.
Imagine that. The very best person the GOP can put up as a demonstration of their values is right there.
