RStudio cheatsheets (just check Help>>Cheatsheets in the IDE) are crazy cool 🤩 I always print out the cheat sheets for students — data visualization {ggplot2} and data manipulation {dplyr} — when I teach my #rstats dataviz course 🔗 #openscience materials for my course: github.com/ikashnitsky/...

Bluesky isn’t unique in this practice and this isn’t a callout so much as me expressing concern for what’s quickly becoming the status quo. Going to write something soon.

We just had our first political assassination attempt of the social media age. But we don’t know how the narratives are playing out on social media because tech platforms have shut down most of their transparency tools. My latest for New York Times Opinion (gift link):
Opinion | There’s Little to Stop Trump Shooting Conspiracies From Spreadingwww.nytimes.com We have less visibility than ever before into the impact that our under-regulated social media platforms have on our politics.

Most users don't need these tools, but the users who do need them are the ones who draw people to the site. Caring for high-profile users is important for growing a social media site.

Thomas invited this ruling in his concurrence in Trump v. United States. Her removal by the Appeals Court is less likely now that a Supreme has agreed with her decision. Crazy like a fox, ya'll are.

WTAF!?!?! All of MSNBC's top talents have been MIA since the shooting took place. The pablum being played on the network the past 18 hours was not new news, a far cry from the leading-edge thought provoking the 'Real' MSNBC carries, not the 'Now' droning. #MorningJoe

if you have multiple rows per subject and they are sorted by some dimension like age, you want geom_path() "geom_path() connects the observations in the order in which they appear in the data. geom_line() connects them in order of the variable on the x axis." ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/ge...
