I'm ride-or-die ggplot2, but after seeing Grant demo tinyplot as a co-panelist as a very useful, lightweight, quick and easy replace for base R plot function, I've been using it for quick glances into data. It fixes a lot of the things that made base R plots annoying, e.g. legends. Highly recommend.
`tinyplot` 0.5.0 is now available from CRAN & R-universe. Alongside bug fixes & internal improvements, this release includes some cool new features like bubble chart + dual legend support, element dodging, & ephemeral themes.

Great new episode of UCLA Housing Voice podcast @shanedphillips.bsky.social, featuring @holz-bau.bsky.social on single-stairs & ecodistricts, and how they differ from TOD. Definitely worth the listen to learn more about these issues:

We discuss Michael's recent book, Building for People, with a focus on single-stair building code reform and eco-district redevelopment.

That doesn't mean blindly adopting the tools, it means asking how potential alliances change now that these tools are coming, it means re-evaluating where we can best save meaning from capitalism, it means asking serious questions about how we find (and make) potential for the good life in the bad

I do think it says something that whenever we ask ourselves questions like this, we get a jumble of 500 policies. What are the unifying concepts that explain why that agenda is cohesive and desirable? That tells us how and why to prioritize certain goals at certain times? That's what the right has.
The question to ask here is: What would a Democratic Miller even want? Stephen Miller has a crystal clear picture of the America he believes should exist in his head. It motivates him. It determines the policies he prioritizes and the strategies he chooses. What would be the Democratic equivalent?
I will note something I keep hearing from different lawyers, immigration activists, Dem operatives et al:
There is no Democratic Stephen miller . And that’s a problem

Since Mamdani won the Dem NYC mayor nomination with a free bus proposal, let's talk about free transit.
Research suggests that free transit:
a—increases ridership
b—doesn't get people out of cars
c—benefits youth, elderly & low-income ppl
d—doesn't add employment
e—maybe ups operational efficiency
