Hello #dataBS! I'm facilitating a new free @dslc.io Advanced #RStats adv-r.hadley.nz cohort soon! It's been 5+ years since I read this excellent book by @hadley.nz, so I'm giving it a re-read. Let's learn to embrace {{ tidy evaluation }}, purrr::reduce() repetition, and count S/R #OOP systems!

Mike Johnson attends Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana. I encourage you to send Pastor John Fream a postcard and ask him to pray that Mike Johnson stops enabling pedophilia. Let’s send tens of thousands of postcards! Overwhelm them. They’ll think it’s a sign.

Apply pressure at source.

🐅 tigris also powers the geometry engine for the {tidycensus} R package, which automatically joins US Census demographics and geographies for you.

Just add `geometry = TRUE` to your tidycensus function call; this will call tigris internally and you'll have data ready to map!

The next season of "Autocracy in America" is out (today!) and it's phenomenal. @garrykasparov.bsky.social and @anneapplebaum.bsky.social are completely brilliant.

What Exactly Is Required to Preserve Our Democracy?
It will take a “total mobilization of our forces,” in the words of new Autocracy in America host Garry Kasparov.

One year ago this week, DMLSER was released in stores/online. Since then 200 copies have sold and the open access version has been read (even cited) by many more. This book was a passion project that took 3+ years to complete and I'm so happy to see the impact it has had.

No matter how war in Ukraine ends, they can never trust the USA to have their backs and keep it commitments. They must develop a nuclear weapons program to indefinitely postpone any further aggression by Russia.

And same for Taiwan. They essentially had a nuke in late 80s then shut down program.

Donald Trump is destroying America.

The US dollar has lost more than 10% of its value this year, its worst first half in almost 40 years. The EUR is up 11%. The world's investors are losing confidence in the US and the USD as a reserve currency.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The bill that just passed is devastating, esp for rural America. Millions will lose healthcare access entirely. Hundreds of rural hospitals will close. Electricity prices will rise, grid stability will worsen. ICE's budget is now larger than FBI & DEA combined. Masked kidnappings are just the start.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

What an impoverished vision of education Khan has--it's nothing but "classroom management" and content delivery. It's profoundly anti-student; it willfuly disregards everything we know about promoting their success in favor of techbro platitudes and a dilettante's understanding of "learning."
