No Scotland, no party. Lovely to be back in Edinburgh for #ECP22!

Anyone else at ECP in Edinburgh literally watching Arthur’s Seat burn, and if so, what are the evacuation notices and procedures here?

Amusing update. They are boarding the flight to Barcelona now, and they announced that 80 people are missing (now down to 63). That is going to be a hell of a flight tonight, I think. 🤣

Just got to the international terminal at Toronto-Pearson during the ending of the match...Spanish fans are cheering up and down the terminal. Here is a small bit after the initial cheer at the end of the game.

And so after a very brief hiatus, version 0.7.0 of "learning statistics with R" exists. Full rebuild in quarto, stylistic fixes, "epilogues from 2026" to comment on how the world changed since original publication, and as an added bonus, no longer misgenders the author learningstatisticswithr.com

The French team's ennui in the first half is a good reason to stop doing the third place match of the World Cup.

New meta by @peterhaehner.bsky.social et al (I'm a little middle author) on individual differences in personality change across the lifespan (229 studies, N = 230k) 10.1037/bul0000525 Cool finding (imo): For all Big Five, variance in change is greatest in youth, declining through young adulthood!

Another paper in a recent line of research looking at how much our perceptions of goals (e.g., how confident we feel, how important the goal is) fluctuate, which is most notably at the situational level! But also..

Yeah, this was incredibly unpleasant last night. At a minimum, some warning would have been nice. I assumed it was making up for Canada Day once I realized it was fireworks. But sometimes, I wonder if some people on Council forget that people actually *live* in the city and don't just drive in.

Ariel Troster@arieltroster.com · 4w ago

FYI, councillors received no notice that they were going to let off the Canada Day fireworks at 11pm last night. It seems that it was determined that it was safer to do this than try to remove the unexploded shells from Lemieux Island. But on a week night, so late, with no notice = unacceptable.

I know many Falcons fans who are likely thinking this is still far too soon. But damn.

Egypt wearing Falcons colors in Atlanta and holding a big lead in the fourth quarter makes me a bit nervous.

Canada is getting ready to ban social media for kids under 16. The quote going around by cabinet minister Marc Miller: "it's obvious why it's a priority. Kids are dying." Every death by suicide is a tragedy but the numbers don't support this claim. I pulled Statistics Canada data to illustrate: 🧵
