It’s been almost one week since I made the RStats Starter Pack. The response was very positive, and we are all following each other much more closer now 🥳.
I have added more people to it, so give it another look and follow more great #RStats friends!

I have been experimenting with different ways of visualizing the curvature of meandering rivers. Plotting curvature in the context of the meanders themselves helps QC-ing the curvature data ⚒️🧪

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on.

🎉 Big news! After 5+ years of consulting work under the R for the Rest of Us name, I'm launching Clarity Data Studio.
The name confusion was real – people thought we only did courses, not knowing about our consulting work building reports, websites, and more.

I've been thinking lately that Excel is actually way ahead of its time, even today 😅. It gets abused because it's actually way too powerful
the excel spreadsheet would almost certainly be legible to humans across the recorded history of the species, from a sumarian scribe to whatever techno organic collective that emerges as our evolutionary successor
This is the truest thing I have ever seen. You cannot imagine how much the Romans would have lost their minds for excel. They literally already started writing our historical chronicles in synchronized columns *by hand*
