All volunteer stations in Tai Po fully 'manned'. All supplies distribution stations, sufficiently supplied. Blood donations, fully sufficient. 'Buddy' support, almost 1-on-1.

Last night, was waxing lyrical about how datavis as an art/craft is dead.
A little bit from mobile-first making deep/big exploration stuff very difficult, but mostly from the industrialisation via PowerBI/Tableau dashboards, which changed the expectations for what datavis should be...

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Board Chair here, and ditto.
I fail to see why they are doing this, is it too cynical to suggest it's a distraction from the curriculum issues, or are they just taking a public kicking that they didn't expert?

Boards Chair here - before our BOT passed a motion affirming our commitment to Te Tiriti, I received emails from parents and teachers urging the board on.
The union never said a word.
Amazing that reaffirming a commitment to Te Tiriti is viewed as "anti-govt" (his words)

I don't like the term murderboard. I tend to think of it as a friendsboard, as in who is paying who to be friends (to do war crimes with)! 🤗🤗
Been waiting for this story to come out and totally missed it two days ago haha sorry @mattnippert.bsky.social. Check out the murderboard (literal murder, as in funding imperialist war & war crimes).

Seriously everything, EVERYTHING about the RFK/Nuzzi/LIzza moment is an argument for a newsroom where you pitch stories in front of each other and editors who shield you from your own worst impulses.

Oooohhhh turns out I *didn't* know what that word means.
Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I don't know how I've missed it because it's *right on the documentation home page*, but if you use {glue} for nice string interpolation in #rstats and you have {stringr} loaded (likely through the tidyverse), you can use str_glue() instead of glue::glue() or loading library(glue) glue.tidyverse.org

‘Rush Hour 4’ is officially in the works.
This comes after Donald Trump personally requested Paramount to revive the franchise.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
