Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.
She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN.

Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Within 30 minutes of exploring a new raw dataset provided to me, I have discovered the following things:
1. Duplicate participants
2. Impossible values outside of allowable ranges for variables
3. Categories inconsistently coded in a variable
Moral of the story, always check your data. 🌟

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
