@dslc.io welcomes you to week 52 of #TidyTuesday! We're exploring Christmas Novels! 📂 https://tidytues.day/2025/2025-12-30 📰 https://github.com/ropensci/gutenbergr/issues/95#TidyTuesday #RStats #PyData #JuliaLang #DataViz #tidyverse #r4ds

For last week's #TidyTuesday, I created a map of endangered languages around the world. Built entirely in R/ggplot2: transforming spatial coordinates, identifying hotspots and composing multiple charts! Code: github.com/gkaramanis/t... Inspiration: www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/co... #RStats #dataviz

This has been bugging me because I can't imagine WANTING to pick a specialist, let alone being able to. Is this that weird thing rich people do where all their doctors are friends family, and neighbors?

If they don't need to prove things during immigration proceedings they can deport anybody, including US citizens. Why is this hard? Obviously you need court proceedings for any of these things. Obviously.

I haven't really written anything yet (I've mostly just been rearranging existing code)... But using C in #RStats is way easier than I expected it to be. There's a learning curve, but it feels like it's probably worth it. And rlang bundles up some of the baseline bits to make life easier.

Good job, fascists! I just watched approximately my 3rd ever 60 Minutes story! We are the bad guys. It doesn't feel morally justifiable to pay taxes this year, knowing the evil that they fund. I don't know how to do anyything about all of this, but I'm trying harder now than I was 20 minutes ago.

A lot of this is still super hacky, but I'm green on devel! github.com/wranglezone/... I'm not sure how "ok" it is that I'm basically vendoring all of {vctrs} ( @davisvaughan.bsky.social ?), but I got rid of a bunch of duplication and, importantly, I inherit all the C API stuff from rlang & vctrs

I was afraid to take over as maintainer of {tibblify}, since it's more "famous" than anything I maintain... but I'm realizing all the things I've been planning to work around it since it was dying, and instead I can focus on just making them easier! Watch tibblify.wrangle.zone ! #RStats #dataBS

I need #RStats C help! @mgirlich added me as a maintainer on {tibblify}, which has been archived due to use of non-API entry points (among other things). I want to learn to fix this, but I don't know where to start. I'll see where I can get with AI, but would greatly prefer some human guidance!

I ignored the strip.clip argument in #ggplot2 for way too long 😲 Combined with a small negative margin tweak, you can place facet labels inside each panel. A tiny trick that makes small multiples feel so much cleaner. 🔵 no manual coordinates 🔵 inherits theme styling 🔵 scales nicely when resizing

Hi #RStats friends. If you use R for analysis at work, what portion of your analyses are causal and what portion predictive?

@hadley.nz In Advanced R (Ch16 "Trade-offs"), you recommend people default to S3 for OO in #RStats. Has that advice changed to S7 yet? If not, do you think you'll eventually recommend it as the default? I still default to S3 since it's so easy, but maybe I pay for the ease downstream somewhere.

geomtextpath can really help make a plot easier to interpret. Nice to avoid using a legend. #rstats #dataviz

Darkest Sherlock Holmes Stories My first ever #TidyTuesday codeberg.org/aleix_alva/t...

And he's home! Walking to the car was EXHAUSTING, but he was very happy to get out of that place and come home!

Make a joke map. #fake #30DayMapChallenge #rstats

My old doggo's surgery went really well! What a roller coaster! They were definitely preparing me for the worst, but it looks like he fell into the rate "this thing that looked like aggressive cancer wasn't aggressive cancer" bucket! 🎉🎉🎉

Westley (the Dread Puppy Roberts), my almost-14-years-old "black-mouthed cur", woke up this morning with a ruptured spleen. The good news: so far it doesn't look like metasticized cancer! That means he gets to go under the knife shortly to have that spleen removed and biopsied 🙃

Some things that are true: 1. Tomorrow is #TidyTuesday 2. I am a HUGE fan of the Sherlock books (I've read them all!) 3. TidyTues data this wk is the complete Sherlock Holmes texts 4. I ❤️ NLP 5. I have surgery tomorrow & can't do Tidy/Pydy, which combines this list of my loves 😭 #databs #rstats

One more test from #RStats console before I share my wrapper around {bskyr}...

I started to add a `.bsky()` function to my #RStats .Rprofile about a year ago and never finished it until just now. Let's see if it works!

I thought "green thumb" meant "magically lucky with plants," but then I started pruning my indoor tomatoes (to induce fruit + meditatively) and (while washing green off my hands) realized it means "putting in the work in a way outsiders don't understand." Are there similar sayings in other fields?

Thank you so much, Jen! If all goes well, that submission will be the final #TidyTuesday for 2025! It is *so* helpful when people submit datasets! I've been able to implement features to catch errors in datasets, and I have more on the way. Maybe I'll even finally finish the easier to use website!
