My book about introductory data science was published today. It is available online - tellingstorieswithdata.com - and you can buy a print copy: routledge.com/Telling-Storie…. I would appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improvements.

What's the point of the academy, if our ideas cease to have influence and impact?
All welcome at the conference in 10 days in Toronto. And also if you think “hey I’ve got thoughts on AI and quant social science” and may like to contribute please email me.
I'll be at a workshop organized by @RohanAlexander next week on how AI will change quantitative social science. This is my short paper, and this is the key argument. ryancbriggs.net/blog/as-ai-l…

Fresca absolutely the best in Toronto on a quality/price basis.
It's time for Toronto to stop chasing the hype of New York-style pizza, and to embrace our own homegrown classics.
An ode to Fresca Pizza & Pasta, still the best slice in city.

Nick Cox wrote a review of my book, and it turns out I say "a lot" a lot. So fixing that is today's task.
Super great to see @EconZach present "Multigenerational Mobility in American History" today.

📣AI SNAKE OIL is out today! Writing this book over the last two years has been a labor of love. @random_walker and I are very excited to hear what you think of it, and we hope you pick up a copy. Some reflections on the process of writing the book 🧵
