This may seem obvious, but I think using R is going to force me to learn statistics (more deeply). #rstats

I am SHOCKED at how long I have been able to focus today.

SHOCKED. 🙃

A Historic Black Community Takes On the World's Richest Man Over Environmental Racism In a neighborhood founded by freed slaves, residents are fighting back against unpermitted pollution from the world’s most powerful supercomputer.

Last summer, Elon Musk quietly transformed a portion of a South Memphis, Tennessee, community established by a group of formerly enslaved people in 1863 into what the world’s wealthiest man called “Colossus” — the planet’s most powerful supercomputer.

I also find people hilarious. Once wrappedtools was finally whole…

“Package wrapped tools is still experimental, be warned that there might be dragons”

I love it 🤣

😂🤣 Example… trying to do a pairwise Wilcoxon test on data with 4 categories and ties. The internet says to use coin and wrappedtools packages, wrappedtools required 35 other packages.

I have a Hadley & Garret book, R for Data Science. But I think I need something for statistics. Any suggestions? I know there are a lot of digital resources but I really like hard copy books 😁

Awesome! I will check those out 😁

Thanks!

I figured something like that would eventually happen! I just got caught off-guard when randomly googling how to do things 🤣

Gotta love learning new things.

I’m finally doing it. I’m learning R.

My first hurdle - the nesting dolls of packages that need to be installed to do anything. 😂

At least 81 people killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza, Hamas-run health ministry says Hospital staff and witnesses said at least 11 people were killed after a strike near tents housing displaced people on Friday.

The genocide in Gaza hasn't stopped, y'all. It's a good day to remind your reps in Congress that we haven't stopped being complicit. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Something to Note: Every major category of violent crime is down in Chicago, but there is no push to declare the progressive mayor Brandon Johnson a successful crime fighter because he didn’t invest in militarization. Even when progressives are successful, they won’t get credit.

A tweet that reads: NEW analysis by the Congressional Budget Office shows the "One Big Beautiful Bill": 1.) Makes the bottom 30% worse off 2.) Finances tax cuts that make the top 10% in particular better off. This is not shared sacrifice--it's a fiscal transfer from the bottom to the top.

More damning confirmation of how harmful Trump and Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill would be.

They want to make millions of people sicker and poorer just to make billionaires more well-off.

The cruelty is the point. And the Senate must reject this shameful bill.

How the Growth of AI is Endangering the Health of Black People Data centers, like the one built by Elon Musk in Memphis, are creating a toxic environment that is disproportionately affecting Black communities.

While regenerative A.I. sounds futuristic, the energy required to power them comes from burning good, old fashioned dinosaur bones

If you’re wonder where bazillionares like Elon Musk are building these new toxic, environmentally unfriendly data centers…

You must be new here.

A parking lot where shade is provided by very large tree-like structures. The giant leaves of the trees are shaped like leaves.

In an alleyway, right of center is a shop window. In the bottom half of the photo there are two broken bikes leaning against the wall- on painted all pink and the other painted all teal.

Rome alleyway: bicycles

In a small piazza in front of Hotel Accademia. The building has red uplights between the windows on the second and third floors. In the piazza there is restaurant seatjng with some red lights on the guests. A restaurant host, all in black in the open space of the piazza, invites passersby to dine.

In the ruins of Pompeii: a wall on the left, scrubby grass where the floor would be, the sky on the distance (upper right) with cumulonimbus clouds, and red poppies in the foreground.

These red poppies were everywhere among the ruins of Pompeii. Just gorgeous.

Moderna's combo Covid and flu mRNA shot outperforms current vaccines in large trial A combination shot would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against Covid and the flu at the same time.

I like to volunteer to help the Masters grads get their hoods on. I always have a pocket full of safety pins to keep them from choking the ladies 😁

Alfreda found a burrow of baby bunnies. She gently pulled three of them out and was mothering them by licking them all over 😂 seems very un-terrier like…

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.
