It's a little bit tough to eyeball, but it sure seems like the Trudeau government *really* liked non-permanent residents. www.banqueducanada.ca/wp-content/u...

In 2021, Laurentian University in Sudbury declared bankruptcy; an unprecedented event for a public university in Canada. It came after years provincial post-secondary funding (by Liberal and PC governments) and university mismanagement. #onpoli @alexusherhesa.bsky.social 1.

Serious political science question here: Has support for free trade now become a left-coded position? Less than serious question: Is the dream of the 90s still alive in Portland?

Because you were wondering, @lispop.bsky.social has ginned up the closest electoral districts in 2018 and 2022 so you don't have to! These might be the ridings to watch on Thursday!! lispop.ca/nexus/swing-...

The Ontario election is days away. Here's our list of the closest ridings in the 2018 and 2022 provincial elections. These might be some ridings to watch!

Cutting Jordan and Saudi Arabia loose. What could go wrong?

Pro-parenting tip for all you 40-something Canadian guys out there. The Odds’ Eat My Brain is a great entryway to 90s Cancon..

It’s a Canadian negotiating tactic. It’s devastating. You’re devastated right now. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

I am very excited to announce @lispop.bsky.social forum on housing and political conflict across generations in Canada, Thursday February 20th at Wilfrid Laurier University

Have anonymous colleagues destroy my work and confidence

Is there a written account of Jean's decision-making and advice provided to her somewhere? I recall hearing that someone like Prof. Hogg or Russell advised her.

Shout it from the goddamn rooftops.

I will echo this sentiment. And note also this amazing paper econreview.studentorg.berkeley.edu/the-long-dec... which makes two points worth noting.

I don't know who needs to hear this but just use vtable::sumtable() for your descriptive statistics combining continuous and categorical variables. Psych::describe() doesn't do categorical variables. tbl_summary() looks great but it doesn't produce latex output. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Is it possible to create a beamer presentation with notes in Quarto? Thank you. #rstats #quarto

why get exercise when you can fight with Github large file storage. amirite? Or amirite? #rstats

My wife was right, of course, *never* update your software. #rstats

Nope. This (teunbrand.github.io/ggh4x/index....) is a lovely package by (I think) @teunbrand.bsky.social that accomplishes that nicely! Thank you! I was able to do this all in one chain of commands. #rstats

Pretty sure I have to resort to cowplot this time. Unless someone can tell me how to modify the x-axis labels only in the plot in the bottom right corner of a facetted 2x2 small multiple

I am diving into a paper after three collaborators have submitted their comments. Wish me luck.

I don't know who needs to know this but basically never use data %>% rowwise() %>% mutate(row_sum=sum(c_across(x:y)) in #rstats. *Way* too slow. data%>% mutate(row_sum=rowSums(across(x:y))) is a billion times better. Works for rowMeans as well. @andrew.heiss.phd

I live in Waterloo literally across the street from Kitchener. I am still trying to figure out how a deindustrialized city like Kitchener is a Green bastion. #onpoli

Is there a blog post or site that compares the pros and cons of all the different ways of doing basic descriptive statistics in #rstats? Is summarytools better than DescTools? Does one play nicer with tidyverse syntax or markdown, etc. #rstats @ryancbriggs.net @andrew.heiss.phd
