Hey there! I am Terry. I am a nature lover, politics junkie, content strategist, events management expert, and #rstats fan. I am also a huge fan of sugar-free and grain-free cooking. So, hopefully, we can connect and have fun. Cheers! 🥂
I'm so excited for tomorrow, #rstats, the first day of our first R+AI conference. Joe Cheng keynote and a day full of talks. What an amazing effort by the community to pull together and talk about the disruption and opportunity that LLMs have presented the market and language. 😁

One of the things about programs like SNAP that most people don't understand but some oligarchs really hate is that they redistribute wealth and stimulate economic activity that benefits small, local economies.

I donated both to Feeding America and my local food bank today. If you can, I hope you will do the same.
Feeding America is truly a good organization who does good things.
I opened the `Friends of Alf` team for anyone who wants to go hector *their* mutuals to chip in. Open invite--go raise some money, have some fun with it
Gonna commandeer the podcast recording tonight to talk about it, maybe dust off the Stupid Stream Kit this week and make some of you come hang out

Adding smoothing parameters is great. This blue color pallet is great. Understanding contractions in the labor market through looking at UI claims, vacancy, as well as unemployment, because no signal is perfect, especially with a spatial lens is great.

Federal layoffs and subsequent federal UI claims are felt more acutely in Washington, DC, but nearby Maryland experienced an increase in federal UI continued claims of 678%, compared to the same week last year. These are constructed with 4-week averages to smooth volatility.
