Weird and almost universal revisionism today. Even at the time, it was pretty clear that Mandelson wasn't appointed *despite* his dodgy links but *because* of them. Trump's Washington is a dirty swamp. Mandelson was deemed a man able to swim in it. This wasn't a secret. Everybody said it out loud.

I’ve been thinking about how to find R packages by functionality when you don’t already know the package name.
So over the holidays, Claude Code and I built The Warehouse: a functionality-first R package directory that helps you find packages by what they do.
