nearly 1000 days offline, but it's back now!
Cool to see Arcadia up there in the $5million PLUS bracket, awarded to the Wikimedia Endowment
Miserably hot here in my part of London.
The temperature will go _down_ to 27C at 11pm tonight. By midnight it might even go down to 25C. Tooooo hotttt 🥵
I’m sure most sane people would fix a half torn rucksack strap with needle and thread 🪡 but me... I love my staple gun 🤣 let’s see how long this fix lasts...

information dossiers. RELX sells data brokering products to more than
7,500 federal, state, and local government agencies. Seventy percent of local governments and 80 percent of federal agencies use RELX data products, including 2,100 police departments and 955 sheriff departments."

I really like the use of @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org to host recordings of conference sessions.
The @copim@hcommons.social team have done a really nice job here with the COPIM Conference 2026 recordings: https://archive.org/details/copim-conference-2026
Rich metadata, abstracts, links to slides. 💯
You can also watch on x2 & x3 speed which is _very_ handy since we're all pressed for time 🙂
actually rather impressed that EJ Wagenmakers has made this 43 page booklet https://www.bayesianspectacles.org/out-now-bayesian-thinking-for-toddlers/
I'm still not going to use JASP though. It's #Rstats all the way for me.
today's MUST READ:
"Ending profiteering from publicly-funded research" -- a report from The Australia Institute, authored by Kristen Scicluna
https://australiainstitute.org.au/report/ending-profiteering-from-publicly-funded-research/
An excellent analysis here from Muthu Madhan on India’s One Nation One Subscription deal

@dstephenlindsay I was fortunate enough to have done my undergrad studies at Imperial College London which has a strong tradition of teaching R (even UGs), as well as research with R. So I have my biases 🙂

@openrightsgroup@mastodon.social thank you! I think you'll have a few sign-ups coming from Arcadia Fund (I hope, but I'm not forcing anyone 🙂 )

hmmm... how often do you listen to an audiobook and then decide to purchase a physical copy of the book you've just listened to?
