It's really convenient that we already have the phrase "trumped up" to describe the charges this regime will eventually file against @aoc.bsky.social .

I think I understand the user-friendliness motivation behind partial matching in #RStats, but this is kinda messed up: x <- list(val_exists = FALSE) x$val <- x$val %||% 1 x$val #> [1] FALSE x <- list(val_exists = FALSE) x$val <- x[["val"]] %||% 1 x$val #> [1] 1

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

So many of my #RStats checks got cleaner when I learned that nrow() always returns a number if you scream it loud enough: ``` nrow(NULL) #> NULL NROW(NULL) #> [1] 0 ```

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

Suppose they try 10 outrageous things. 7 of them affect everyone and everything. 2 primarily affect Black people. 1 primarily affects trans people. There's massive pushback on the 7, minimal pushback on the 2, and near silence on the 1. So 6 of the 7 get reversed. None of the rest are reversed🤯

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
