The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –
I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.
Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

Thank you @RLadiesSB for hosting @AnanyaRoy22 & I for a fun session on interactive data viz w/ @observablehq Plot!
To close it out we shared this fun viz of debugging pathways on the Monster Scale, made w/ @recifs & @verschraenkung 👾 Check it out: observablehq.com/@observable… 🧵1/3
ALT A series of 10 round monster faces showing emotions at different stages of debugging. Generally, they start off hopeful, then baffled, then in meltdown mode, then take a nap, then have a breakthrough, and find and celebrate a solution. The different stages are numbered 1 through 10. Based on survey results (n = 44), arrows arcs between the different stages are added to show the frequency of different paths, with arrow weights indicating the frequency. Overall there are many back and forth arrows, with few dominant paths. Luckily, the heaviest arrow ends at 10 (a monster celebrating after finding a solution!).

As I left the House chambers, I pressed my light to speak—a reminder that this legislature is removing 11,000 Montanans from discussion on every bill going forward.
I will always stand on behalf of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself.

as it turned out, this was the last thing Gretzky did in Calgary, playing for the Oilers
35 years ago today...
Wayne Gretzky scored a short-handed OT winner as the @EdmontonOilers beat Calgary 5-4 in Game 2 of the Smythe Final.
IMO the biggest goal Gretzky scored as an Oiler.
EDM swept the Flames in the BOA

Delighted to keep beating the drum on context-informed data quality checks over on the @getdbt blog!
There’s testing & then there’s *testing*🧪
In her first Developer Blog post, Emily Riederer (Sr Manager of Analytics @ Capital One) intros the concept of group checks to dbt-utils: tests that offer greater granularity @ the group-level.
