Good morning all! What are you working on? A project, a personal goal, even working on getting through the day.

@DoctorDeathray Me too - not usually anything so... charged.

My course leader advised we pick a large data set and go from there.

Did you know that the Washington Post has a downloadable and very detailed spreadsheet of all the lies Trump told while in office? Well, neither did I and now my brain is broken. 😆

@BonehouseWasps I can only imagine the size of that sheet!!!

@DoctorDeathray 30,573 lies - in public at least.

And in case you're wondering, they just about fit on an A0 sheet of paper at 1.3pt Helvetica type.
