Denmark sets up ‘night watch’ to monitor Trump since Greenland row

Thinking about (re)starting to publish different bits and pieces from my work in a blog or newsletter. But as I am a bit lazy 😅 I wanted to ask what is the most frictionless / easy way to publish based on #rstats? I do enjoy ghost.org but seems a bit complicated to publish from R tools. Opinions?

Ghost: The best open source blog & newsletter platform

Beautiful, modern publishing with email newsletters and paid subscriptions built-in. Used by Platformer, 404Media, Lever News, Tangle, The Browser, and thousands more.

Been busy for the last month but happy to see that #positron is starting to be awesome. Migrated one of my #rstats project from Rstudio and got little to no glitches. Got the persistent server sessions working so I am super intrigued. If only learning new tools wouldn't be such a b*tch 😂

Used ~20 spare minutes here & there + 20 iterative ChatGPT prompts (o3-mini-high) to build a proof-of-concept Shiny app for cigar search & storage. App generates detailed cigar profiles with a classic lounge vibe. Results are not consistent, but it’s a fun #Rstats #Shiny experiment. API required.

Here is a way to ensure correct sorting in each facet.

Bluesky on the rise among publishers. On the other hand, AI is getting into the news scene as journalists and media platforms lose their popularity and trust. Interesting times in 2025. (Study by Reuters Institute + Oxford University) reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/sites/defaul...

It takes time to build healthy git habits. Takes one vacation from coding to forget git exists and remember that you didn't commit 1045 diffs later. True story! 😭

I do appreciate the new #positron app from @posit.co but my question is if there is any integration for #rstats on self-hosted R servers. I get how to connect to my server, but ho can I run persistent sessions? i.e. leave code running on server and close pc as we do now with #Rstudio server.
