Trying to leave this app. Find me at Post: https://xitter.cf/t.co/oSCOqL5xVy or maybe mastodon (but I’m liking Post more) datalorax@mastodon.cloud.

Feel like tonight was a bit of momentous occasion. My daughter Malia wrote her first ever function(s)! Written in 🐍 (I showed her #rstats first but she liked python more 🤷♂️). She already has the programmer look down too!
Today is the day I’m finally going to delete the bird app from my phone. I’m not leaving here entirely yet but I plan to soon-ish. I’m mostly on post now. Find me there. post.news/datalorax

It's early but I am really liking the feel of post. Feels much more intuitive/natural than mastodon (to me anyway). Find me here: post.news/1456e2a3-0640-4779…

I just signed up for the waitlist for Post as another possible alternative to Twitter. I think it has potential. Join me? post.news/?r=rRZeZ
Well I'm officially on mastodon @datalorax@mastodon.cloud. I have no idea what I'm doing and it feels very strange, but if you're there too I hope we can connect! I'm hoping to leave twitter because I despise musk. Hoping the #rstats community there can grow.

The Duke/BYU racial incident is a PERFECT example of how we dismiss institutional racism by casting it as a random act of racism and not what it really is.
A long-standing systemic problem at a racist institution

I’ll never forget that the reason Brittney Griner was in another country in the first place is because she wasn’t being paid equitably in the WNBA. This is about race, hostage, sexuality, gender, and especially pay gaps. But we’d rather be mad at her for having cannabis oil.
The @WNBA is such a ridiculously good product! Look at these standings! The fight for the final playoff spots is going to be cray. @nyliberty win tonight was insane!!!! Came back from 20 down for the W.
ALT Current WNBA standings with the 6th seed having a record of 14-16 and the 11th seed having a record of 12-20. The top 8 seeds make the playoffs.

BACK-TO-BACK 🥇 AND A NEW AMERICAN RECORD IN THE 200M FOR NOAH LYLES 🤩

Devon Allen disqualified for this is so gut wrenching and infuriating. Truly believe this was his year. And it would have been so sweet to see him do it in Eugene. Robbed… 💔💔💔

Could you help this indigenous candidate get 100 more followers today? I'm running for U.S. House here in the belly of the beast (Wyoming) taking on big settler fossil fuel oligarchs!
Great conference if you’re into #rstats! Highly recommend. And you’ve still got time to submit!
The #CascadiaRConf CFP has been extended by a week. Today had been the last day to submit an abstract, but we are giving you all another week!
🗓 July 11th, 2022 is now the closing date
Looking forward to hearing all the great #rstats work being done!

I had this exact experience/reaction. Occasionally I would hear about how it’s hard to book meetings with X number of people and I was like… uh… this 1000 times better than the way I used to do it. 🫣
My daughter turns 8 tomorrow. She got to pick out some guppies at the pet store tonight for an early present. We got them home and one of them immediately started having babies... 😳
I guess we may need a bigger tank. (she's thrilled, FWIW)

Supporting grad students in their research was my fave thing about this role. #statistics
New post for the first time in a long time! On a familiar topic: reflections on my start in industry and transitioning from academia.
tl;dr: I'm really happy w/my decision. Academia was great for me too. Both can be good! And sometimes change is needed. datalorax.com/post/2022-05-1…
