How this type of ongoing terror isn’t the top news story on every news channel in US blows my mind.

A seriously messed up situation.

Won’t be going to US while this outrageous stuff continues.
NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability
The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

Not feeling left out… no…nope…not one bit
I've been having an awesome time in Sofia this week for #BulgariaExcelDays! There's nothing better than connecting with friends in person, like Gasper Kamensek, Chandeep Chhabra and @exceloffthegrid.bsky.social. ☺️
Thank you to Boriana Petrova and Boris Loukanov for always putting on a great event. 🙏

NEW BLOG POST!

Dataflows were (rightly?) considered "the slowest and least performant option" for ingesting data into #PowerBI #MicrosoftFabric. However, things are changing rapidly, and the latest DF enhancements may change the way we play the game.

Affirmation of the day...
You don't need to know SQL to create valuable Power BI reports

Most Power BI users don't have SQL data sources, and even when they do Power Query does a fine job of extracting required data from those too.

probably my most deeply-held belief: it is not possible for a slide deck to be both (1) a good presentation aide; and (2) a standalone document that can be read and understood in isolation.
