Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions!
We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family:
- `filter()` to keep rows
- `filter_out()` to drop rows
- `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers

📊 #Dataviz PSA: When using areas to depict numbers, make sure you are indeed scaling the *area*, and not the width/length/diameter of the circles (or other shapes). Because software such as Illustrator don’t let you specify the area directly, you need do a small calculation to get it right. 1/2
