I did update the figure a bit and added labels, but it probably works better as sequential slides in a presentation. If you want the code and the pptx just drop me a dm and I’ll send it all your way.
We streamlined six new DID-like estimators and created this tutorial for implementation in R.

Hope you no longer need to spend months figuring out what these estimators are and how to use them.
Foods I like that have been deemed “old man desserts” by friends and family:
Rice pudding
Oatmeal raisin cookies
Rum raisin ice cream
Peanut brittle
These are all underrated desserts!
Fuckin Tim Apple
Hit the point in my phone’s life cycle where Apple fucks with the battery life and (probably) pays my friends to start telling me how old it looks when i check it.
I have an AI agent and the company has an AI agent, and they exchange a series of messages to converge on a contract. But they are very lazy, so the company's agent just reveals the marginal cost and my agent reveals my willingness to pay, and they take the average.
It's annoying that I have to be an expert at navigating all these food ordering apps otherwise I'll be paying 10-20% more for everything.
I say this like once a week but it’s worth appreciating regularly: we’re living in the golden age of food. The standard for quality, taste, and innovation is insanely high right now. This is both for restaurants and home cooking.
I have a theory for why they are so useful. You can think of time as the universal cause of all outcomes. Effects may be mediated by other variables but the passage of time is the root cause of every change.
The unreasonable effectiveness of a line chart with time on the x-axis.
This 90s alt rock playlist is saving my life right now.
Hello everyone! I teach a class for graduate students on methods for reproducible research. 🔧 🔢
I would interested to hear about the barriers you face in implementing reproducible practices in your research (e.g., version control, code review, reproducible documents).
It’s happening!!
Mosaic v0.12 is out: database-powered scalable, interactive visualization! 📈 One new addition is support for dynamic changes in the backing data. Move between smaller and larger samples to balance speed and comprehensive coverage.
I once tried to convince the Motif engineering team to run our app on a bunch of Mac Minis we would put in a closet at my house.
I've heard it described as the methadone to Twitter's heroin.

Took less than 1 hour to get the data and plot it. Amazing what you can do with open APIs and great SDKs!
It’s so cool that the data is open. Creates a lot of unique opportunities.

ICYMI last a couple weeks ago, how we built the Motif query engine and language for analyzing event sequences: www.motifanalytics.com/posts/how-to...
Think of it as an extension of Regular Expressions matching from strings of characters to sequences of events.
He’s been very clear that Oompa Loompas are on at-will employment contracts and can leave at anytime.
I was definitely not expecting this explanation.
Wow this is spot on
I’ll know Bluesky has really made it when there are tons of spam accounts following and DMing me.
Happy birthday!
Hey data nerds! You have just a week and half left to submit a talk to Data Council '25 (in SF next year!).
I'm running the analytics tracks.
Any interesting ideas we should be covering on the analytics track?
Any brilliant people that fly under the radar that we should elevate?
Awesome, just what I wanted, the sun rises at 6:30am now.
