Me nodding along and thinking yes, yes please. Although as a Gen Xer, my definition might not match what is in that person's mind.

I'm tired of media euphemisms.
It's not climate skeptic, it's climate denier.
It's not vaccine skeptic, it's anti-vaxxer.
And it's "lies" and "racism" and "genocide" and "war." Words have meaning.

“1 in 31 children will be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder by age 8.” That’s not an epidemic, it’s a data point that RFK Jr. and others have twisted into a movement of misinformation. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/rfk-autism-epidemic-never-existed

Who Moved my Cheese? Animated Summary | Robert French
Someone moved my cheese! One of the constants in my life is that things change. Last week, I was informed that I would be made redundant. My last day with the company was Friday, 11th April 2025, so I am available for an interview. This situation has both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, I can look for a new role and dig deeper into learning about Power BI also related topics 😍 So, if you require a "Chief Power BI Nerd" or a "Data Shepherd, Data Plumber, Data Dance Teacher," then let's talk. Or if you're looking for a Plain Vanilla Senior BI consultant/engineer, I am worth speaking to. My passion is Data and anything related to it. Can I recommend the book Who Moved My Cheese? This short video is an excellent summary of the central message: https://lnkd.in/enTJpMvT. The message does not make it any easier to deal with change. For me, it just helps to know that change will happen and bring new opportunities, as it has in the past then will continue to do so in the future. 😁

SQLAllFatherI left Spotify in 2021 and started listening to my own music collection. I already had the MP3s and/or the CDs from which to rip them, so I hosted them on my Plex server and started listening to them using the excellent Plexamp mobile client.
One thing I missed from Spotify was the "wrapped" listening summary... but I'd always believed I could improve on what Spotify delivered. This winter break I spent some time implementing a solution in Microsoft Fabric. I used data from my Plex server's SQLite database for recent years, and from the JSON files that Spotify will send you if you make a GDPR data request for older years. I standardized enriched both data sets with the open source MusicBrainz database, and then visualized some Spotify-inspired vanity metrics in Power BI.

Myself and my partner have been watching it get lighter for about 1.5 hours. Now the sun is just peeking round the shoulder of Eval (the hill in the background)
