#auspol peeps, would welcome your eyes, wisdom & comments on this analysis I knocked together https://simonjackman.github.io/auspol_2022/analysis/sa1_oddity.html

#rstats users who’ve… uh, embraced 😅 the native pipe, how do you pipe into blocks you would’ve previously embraced (like ggplot calls)?

I’m really not thrilled with the anonymous function + native pipe combo, but I’m still deciding how much I trust using with…

At 740am I’ll be on Nine’s (Australia) Today Show talking about Trump’s re-platforming on a rival (?!) social media platform…and consequences for US politics, global mental health and for the platform in question…

#auspol folk, first of some nerdier contributions working with various public-use data sets, this one provides the correspondence between NSW legislative districts & postcodes, & yes @MattCowgill, the real work is only a "few lines of code" simonjackman.github.io/aus_electorate…
