SPOILER
Western media outlets have all come together to put out a statement congratulating Israel on the successful strike against Hamas, before putting out a one sentence statement acknowledging the journalist’s passing caused by ‘somehow being exploded from what may have been a bomb of unknown origin.’
"Israel claims Hamas base was located inside dead journalist" @chaser

BEST BIT
“But it is important to know that we warn the journalists and their families before blowing them up, because we want to reduce civilian causalities. We warned them just before we blew up the place we said they could escape to. But I mean who knows how many terrorists were hiding in tunnels inside the now dead journalist?”
we're learning R
someone at #SORTEE2023 recommended this as a starting point https://r4ds.had.co.nz/
i think those books are licensed in a way that means someone was able to make one free on line?
This book will teach you how to do data science with R: You’ll learn how to get your data into R, get it into the most useful structure, transform it, visualise it and model it. In this book, you will find a practicum of skills for data science. Just as a chemist learns how to clean test tubes and stock a lab, you’ll learn how to clean data and draw plots—and many other things besides. These are the skills that allow data science to happen, and here you will find the best practices for doing each of these things with R. You’ll learn how to use the grammar of graphics, literate programming, and reproducible research to save time. You’ll also learn how to manage cognitive resources to facilitate discoveries when wrangling, visualising, and exploring data.
a few days ago i saw a #bluesky_invite that just gave the code for anyone to use at the top of the #bluesky hashtag feed, it was only an hour old so i thought they came up quite frequently … but looking now it seems i missed a rare opportunity…
does it matter who gives you an invite?
This morning i ran #debirdify (which is still working by the way) and imported a lot of follows from #twitter - so you might get followed by a swam of #kirts
Follow whichever match your interests.
If you want to avoid politics etc. i try to keep these as just science stuff

If you want to follow all that stuff my most active profile is @[email protected]
If I'm causing any trouble, tell @TashTaylor - she'll find me and make me sort it out.
it's more me struggling to deal with "Mastodon getting tripping"
a swam of #kirts is trying to deal with a disconnected fediverse
explained on my profile pages…
@kirt @kirt @kirt etc.
or more succinctly…
yes, multiple accounts
this morning i ran #debirdify (which is still working by the way) and imported a lot of follows from #twitter
if i ever get a system that works smoothly I'll do a big thread about it as #MastodonTips but now is not that time :/
My main profile is @kirt 🦣 I have profiles on a few other instances, so science people don't get flooded with other posts unless that interests them. If this is against a "multiple profiles" rules of this server, just let me know and I'll try to consolidate things? (if you can't find me, try @TashTaylor and she'll find me)
Also because I'm still having trouble finding people on this decentralised federated network…
more science #Kirts
Hi, I'm your friendly(ish) neighbourhood #Kirt
i think i might be most #Kirts ?
Follow as many (or few) of me you find interesting. So people I have one common interested with don't get too many posts on other topics.
@kirt
#Politics #Languages + more of all of the other stuff.
I was planning to keep my more intense #COVID rage on zeroes.ca … but it seems to be all over the #Fediverse
