Congratulations to Posit on the Positron IDE exiting beta!

This is huge for #python and #rstats data scientists - having a unified, modern IDE that speaks both languages fluently. Can't wait to see how this accelerates data science workflows!

There is growing sentiment that driving is bad. Big cars. Environmental costs. Reckless driving.

We talk about everything but the damn cellphones.

There is no way we should be able to talk on a phone while driving. You mean to tell me an ignition cannot signal jam a phone or something?

I had the honor of illustrating the Folio Society's illustrated edition Madeline Miller's "Circe," a book that is very dear to me and has been a favorite of mine since it came out. Feels a bit surreal, tbh 👀

americans are gonna be shocked when canada implements its tariffs and they see the new price of house hippos, I'll tell you that much

No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.

A big surprise for me on becoming an adult was realizing that empathy (seeing things from other people’s perspective) and understanding cause & effect (if I do X, the natural consequence is Y) did not come naturally for many people.

I still wonder if these gaps are a nature or nurture problem.
