Spain just had the most dominant run in a FIFA World Cup (M) I can remember. There was no team they played that was on the field with them. Insane.

I'm starting a new newsletter. Yeah, I know, another newsletter. This one isn't about soccer though... it's about YOU 🤯 "The Post-Match Report" will release weekly and contain links, analysis, and updates on everything happening in soccer analytics. Publishing on @leaflet.pub. More info 👇

just so everyone knows, we're in an alternate timeline bc in the original timeline, the red card stood and the usmnt lost, so some rando asked "what if balo played", went back in time, caused this whole mess, and is currently discovering that while timelines are mutable, outcomes are not

That black hole in the left halfspace is Norway’s biggest achievement here

yknow how after unusually good performances athletes get special doping tests? We should test this ref for financial doping

if you're into J-League or this World Cup has made you interested in Japanese football, follow Ryo

Look, the work continues. I'm even more motivated now. I'll simply keep writing, watching, analyzing more #JLeague & Japanese football for y'all. Maybe I'll decide to step more into the industry aside from the consulting work I've been doing in the near future. Vamos. 🫡🇯🇵

Debating on posting we’re going to pens and then someone scores a goal immediately after I post this.

Ohhh my fucking god

BBC News went live to Cabo Verde and then Cabo Verde scored a goal. Absolute scenes.

I can’t wait for Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde to advance as first and second place from this group

of the many entertaining things in this mexico/south africa match, my parents have been extremely amused by how some of these players are vigorously chewing gum, especially south africa's #20

even in 1858 they knew to only use radial bar charts for seasonal comparisons, how did we get that so wrong in the last 150 years

Ottawa native here: this is 1000% in line with my experience. What’s worse is that the overwhelming majority of speed cameras in Ottawa are set up in front of school zones, it’s not even like it’s policing major arteries where traffic is expected to be moving at 80km+ per hour

It's Jamie@sjamieit.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

📊 Five #ggplot2 functions I wish I'd known about earlier 📊 I've written a short blog (with examples) of some of the lesser-known {ggplot2} functions and arguments that make it easier to create better charts! Link: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/five-gg... #RStats #DataViz

Five ggplot2 functions I wish I’d known about earlier – Nicola Rennie

There are a few small tweaks you can make to your ggplot2 code to improve your charts. However, they’re not often mentioned. So here’s a few functions and arguments I wish I’d known about earlier.

Me: @niccrane.bsky.social how do I get a dput of an arrow schema pls halp Nic: try schema$code() R6 method? Me: uh what where I’ve never seen that _works exactly as expected_ Me: how tf, that wasn’t in the docs?! _consults google_ wtf, google returns to v12.0 as the first result (not v23) #rstats

I would have preferred to have the "draw the rest of the owl" meme on the cover, but this will do. Seems like it is on schedule, and we'll leave some typos so you know we didn't write it with AI.

wow when they said python was the second best language at everything they weren’t kidding eh?

Ottawa deploying two ‘Python’ machines to tackle thousands of spring potholes

As spring arrives, after a snowy winter marked by dozens of freeze-thaw cycles, potholes are once again popping-up, by the thousands, across Ottawa roads.
