One of the things that horrifies/shocks me in data analysis is that a critical test is to graph your residuals, but there is no particular criteria for evaluating problems. You just kind of eyeball the graph and look for heteroscedasticity, outliers, and non-linearity patterns.

Lmaooooooo

Relabeling drugs on Vibes is a 4-alarm fire that can collapse the entire framework of pharmacology safety and confidence.

Rowing galleys *were* the original open office layout so there is some precedent

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

The concept of trying to implement geoengineering solutions to #climate change is like trying to design a complicated, expensive, unreliable helmet while you're still hitting yourself in the head with a 2x4.

David Rose, the police officer and Afghanistan veteran with a wife and 2 small children, was murdered by a white, right wing extremist man a month ago over antivaccine conspiracies pushed by RFK Jr. and this administration. He did not get recognition from political leaders or even much news coverage

I like the cut of Dr. Natasha Bagdadarian’s jib

Kingston Trio baby! Don MacLean or Peter Paul and Mary if I’m lucky.

In Tagalog, an equivalent phrase to "Jesus take the wheel" (for leaving things to fate) is "leave it all to Batman" (Bahala na si Batman)

I can tell this site needs more sports knowers because everyone's been yelling about canceling Disney+ and Hulu all day and I literally haven't seen anyone yelling about canceling the new ESPN app, which was just rolled out and the success of which is existential for ESPN.

fyi just a note that “[sad voice] democracy is over, trump is now the sole authority over everything in america” is functionally identical to “[psyched voice] democracy is over, trump is now the sole authority over everything in america”

A debate about wellness is popping off in the 6th grade parent chat, and I’m keeping my mouth shut. Please clap.

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

Ezra Klein’s most recent column gives the game away: he talks about how horrified he was by Kirk’s assassination because he identifies with Kirk. Kirk, like Klein, talked for a living. So even if they had different policy positions, to some degree, Klein sees himself in Kirk. /1

Really wish I could donate negative money

Longyearbyen - Oslo - Hamburg. The flights were fine, but eating a $40 Pizza Hut pizza with a fork and knife at the Oslo airport, surrounded by silent Scandinavians, was the grimmest thing I have ever experienced in an airport.

I see things like this and I just think, “I like food”

I saw goody proctor celebrating charlie kirk’s assassination

I’m like 80% sure I sat next to Patrick Dempsey at a Delta SkyClub

Well that’s not great

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

The demand for hagiography is based on a rightist belief that bad people do not deserve rights.

🚨New preprint from our lab!🚨 We trace the evolution of microbial exoenzymes and uncover their role in Earth’s oxygenation. By recycling nutrients, exoenzymes helped fuel cyanobacteria and set off feedbacks that sustained the long-term rise of O₂. #MicroSky 🧪 🦠 🌎 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN. It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package. Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

IMO: My ideas about X are not fully cooked yet, gotta go write a paper to figure it out

this is a tiny story published recently that I’m proud of—thanks for reading! bsky.app/profile/anni...

In contrast, today’s news reminds me again how much I love the diversity of human, the creativity of humanity, the strangeness of humanity, and the unpredictable surprises of humanity. When I look at our variety in form and thought, I see beauty.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

The professor was fired and the dept leadership was removed. HI HELLO. THIS IS FASCISM. THANKS FOR COMING TO MY TEDTALK.

Once again asking myself how long it can possibly take for an uploaded PDF to undergo conversion to PDF

A provision banning racial profiling of Hispanics by ICE in reaction to yesterday's SCotUs action should immediately be added as a non-negotiable position for any kind of CR. *Force* the GOP to *demand* racial profiling of Hispanics and make them threaten to shut down the government over it

As a guy who got a cancer that was probably caused by a virus, I think we should have /more/ vaccines.

lol I took a picture of possibly the same raven on likely the same sign

The reason they find fault with every single progressive movement or protest or activist is that if they acknowledged that the activists are correct, on the side of the angels, the next question would be, "well then why aren't *you* fighting?" Above all, they don't want to fight.

Wondering how much I’d have to bribe the IT folks to install this remotely on every university-owned MacBook

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

A BLAST update adding support for compressed files and csv output with headers is a Good Friday night surprise! blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/doc/blast-ne...

This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the US’s (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists don’t work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.

Today it’s “this drug boat in international waters in the Caribbean posed an immediate threat so we murdered everyone on board,” next it’s “this U.S. citizen whose ideas we don’t like posed an immediate threat so we murdered them.” 👑🪃 will come back for us, just you wait.

Really want to emphasize the fact that even if that boat was loaded down with the finest of 70s era cocaine that doesn’t justify killing 11 people.

My favorite similar factoid is that it’s possible to draw an outline of San Francisco on a map of LA that has a higher population than San Francisco
