Unfortunately, all Census TIGER/Line and cartographic boundary shapefiles are down as of this evening. This means that the tigris #rstats and pygris #Python packages will not work, and geometry support in tidycensus will also fail. The Census API, for now, is still up.

The ACLU is looking for trans individuals effected by the recent transphobic Executive Order in order to bring a lawsuit against it. Here is a form if you are comfortable submitting your info to potentially be represented by the ACLU to fight this EO. www.aclu.org/transpasspor...

BREAKING: Vital, nationally-representative data has been removed from the CDC website. "Everyone I know in public health and science more broadly is freaking out right now,” @albeccia.bsky.social told me. Read: www.statnews.com/2025/01/31/c...

The CDC has begun purging data. Example: The youth risk behavior survey...

Very excited for this talk. Come and get an overview of survey analysis in R! Have you ever noticed weights on a survey data set and not used them? Well... we'll talk a bit about why you shouldn't ignore them and how to use them.

The useR! 2025 site is live! You can check out the key dates to get a head start on writing your submission or travel planning. Who is looking forward to visiting North Carolina? The area should be beautiful in August for sure! #rstats user2025.r-project.org

Statistician Gertrude Mary Cox was born 125 years ago today! Her 1950 text Experimental Design was for years a standard reference for how to design experiments that are statistically meaningful and replicable, and she co-founded the Biometric Society. #WomenInSTEM #HistSci #Statistics 🧮

For Christmas Eve, my family always has bratwurst and potato salad (lemon, parsley, garlic, and olive oil). A perfect mix of my maternal grandparents (German and Palestinian). No other holiday do we have a set menu. What holiday food traditions do you have? The potato salad is ready and marinating!

I'm trying to learn data.table and it's a struggle! The syntax is not coming naturally to me. I miss things like across and tidyselect from tidyverse. Any thoughts on my current struggle? forum.posit.co/t/multiple-s... #rstats @rdatatable.bsky.social

Finally got a delivery at 11 pm that I've been waiting for a long time.
