I drafted a correlation heatmap package for Stata. Does something like this already exist? I want to make sure before I put more work into this.

The analysis you've been waiting for: "Do you remember who was actually president when that happened?" Turns out the answer is often...no. 1 in 3 forgot Trump was in office on Jan. 6. HALF didn't say Biden was President during the Afghanistan withdrawal! yougovamerica.substack.com/p/how-many-a...

Wenig überraschend, dass ein Politiker, der wiederholt durch ausländerfeindliche Aussagen aufgefallen ist, erneut Ausländerfeindliches sagt. Der eigentliche Aufreger ist doch, dass wir einen Kanzler haben, der sich in der Öffentlichkeit erratisch verhält und selten präzise in seiner Sprache ist.

I am old enough to remember people in the West and especially college students, actually giving a damn about Darfur. Now, nobody gives a shit. I have no idea why, it's not like there is a legal limit on the number of conflicts and massacres one can care about, Gaza or Ukraine are not an excuse.
