I'll be keynoting at R/Pharma in a few weeks! The conference is free and virtual; all are welcome to join. My talk "Practical AI for data science" is on November 5th and should be broadly accessible for #rstats users, regardless of industry. :)

To "celebrate" the inauguration I've donated money to Planned Parenthood, Translifeline and The Trevor Project. The next few years are going to be chaotic so I'll be striving to ignore the things outside my control while doing my best to support the communities that I can help.

Since I'm seeing it everywhere:
I worked in LA City Hall when the budget passed. Our office voted No. But the idea that LAFD was "defunded" to increase the LAPD budget is not accurate. Both got increases due to salary hikes. LAFD's deal just happened after the budget process -- LAPD's was before.

Let’s chat about these incredible bales!
![Hey there! We've got some fantastic news to share! We have a fresh batch of Western Straight 3x3 Alfalfa Pasture blocks for just $200 each when picked up. The attached scale ticket photos confirm that these bales average 886.667 lbs per bale – I have been selling hay for over a decade and if I did not see the scale ticket I would not believe it! At just $500 a ton (remember, we sell by the bale, not weight), these are a steal. And here's the best part – these giant bales aren't compressed, so they'll flake apart when you open them, revealing their amazing leaf retention and stunning appearance. They're from the same supplier who provides our awesome 3-string western alfalfa bales.
We're open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6:30pm and weekends from 10am to 6pm. If you have any questions, feel free to call or text us at [hidden information]. And when texting or facebook messeging , feel free to ask more than just "Is this available?" Let's chat about these incredible bales!
We Do offer Delivery services.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wpyqbpaggrao465iprq5ego6/bafkreieh25wjhd6iok6bjsqzgypwf74u5gxbvtapmbtoawpgz6oy4eo26a@jpeg)
