Admittedly not as beautiful as Euler's identify, but it's weird that the PDF of a Normal distribution gives absolutely no hint* that its kurtosis will be 3 *to me

Seven out of eight games scorigamis this week in #AFLW Dogs v Lions needed another Dogs goal or another Lions behind to make it a perfect 8 from 8

We'll know we've reached peak AI when we find a secret stash of unpublished papers in their virtual drawer with p-values just above 0.05

This series is so good. I don't even care about football/sports, but @jonbois.bsky.social and co. keep pulling me in with beautiful graphics and hilarious analysis.

look Charlie Kirk started, maintained, & promoted turning point usa’s professor watchlist I’ve been on it for over a decade and until this year I was the *only* UVM professor on it which means his life’s work = my death threats

Good that the Guardian is calling Kirk “far right” and showings its readers his views - not “common sense”, not “conservative”, but far right conspiracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I've written a short blog post introducing "The Art of Visualization with ggplot2"! This book is all about the end-to-end process of creating charts with #ggplot2 📊 including data wrangling, sketching, and styling your plots! nrennie.rbind.io/blog/art-of-... #RStats #DataViz #TidyTuesday
