{ralger} #rstats package looks like an absolute game changer in the task of web scraping for people with very occasional need in this rather nerdy task 🤩 Instead of drilling manually through cached HTML, one can use intuitively named functions that just do it ✨ 🔗 feddelegrand7.github.io/ralger/

I find the lack of empathy among #dataviz practitioners a bit disturbing. Many of you know of my suffering this time of year, when the Portuguese Homeland Security Report is published, full of pages like this. And yet no one ever offered me temporary asylum to minimize the impact. It's unforgivable.

My US-based colleagues, FYI: Finnish Research Council is about to announce a special call to fund researchers abroad to relocate to Finland. By all means this is not intended to lure you into moving to Finland, it just happens to be planned right now by pure chance.
