@zachburchill Huh. Is this a contrastive analysis thing? Did they need an example of Superstupidity to study?

[Andrew 'Do NOT Fly American Airlines' Burchill @AndrewBurchill]

What do they call phenology, but only over the course of a day? Like circadian phenology, is that a thing? Like timing of when flowers open and close.... Anyone?

I just now found out that @sjmgarnier is the creator of the #rstats `viridis` package! What a legend

[Andrew 'Do NOT Fly American Airlines' Burchill @AndrewBurchill]

@zachburchill This seems absolutely crazy, someone tell me if he's wrong

With the closing of Bitter and Esters, I think there may be zero homebrew supply shops left in all of NYC.
"Greatest city in the world" my ass.

Who should I vote for?

[Andrew 'Do NOT Fly American Airlines' Burchill @AndrewBurchill]

@RebeccaRHelm Yeah, I've never understood those kind of "automated collection of ocean trash" initiatives. Uh, like, there's important, delicate stuff in the ocean? There's no way you can just sweep everything into a garbage bag and call it good.

In honor of how *royally* @AmericanAir CONTINUES to screw over my crippled mother trying to get home to get doctor's appt, I am hereby changing my profile middle name from "DO NOT fly Canada Air" to "DO NOT fly American Airlines".

@AirCanada, you're off the hook now, I guess.

@TraverHart @wc_ratcliff Oooh whoops I thought we were talking about presentation title, not slide title.

[Andrew 'Do NOT Fly American Airlines' Burchill @AndrewBurchill]

@TraverHart @wc_ratcliff Yeah, I think left justification frees up more space on your title slide for an eye catching video or photo. And if you want people to stay for your talk.. it only makes sense to try and grab their attention from the first slide. (Which just sits up there during transitions)

@TriggerLoop @wc_ratcliff I think that's been one of the few default PowerPoint layouts since I was seven years old

[Andrew 'Do NOT Fly American Airlines' Burchill @AndrewBurchill]

@jhofmann @pranman @ValerioCapraro Yeah, and the comment section is AWFUL here. I've proofread enough material from international students in my time to tell what this is. Did none of these other people ever help colleagues or students with editing??
These self-appointed GPT-spotting experts are the real problem.

[Dr. Corrie Moreau @CorrieMoreau]

Such a cool study on ants that perform life-saving amputations on each other, such great writing about the science by @bittelmethis, and fun to be interviewed in this @NatGeo article!

Thread of every tapestry I’ve ever made. 🧵

[Andrew 'Do NOT Fly American Airlines' Burchill @AndrewBurchill]

@wc_ratcliff I'm not sure whether we've ever actually met in person before, but I've definitely seen a few of you and your students' talks. Dang, this is just the coolest stuff. I can't overstate how cool and awesome it is, and I hope you never stop!

[Andrew 'Do NOT Fly American Airlines' Burchill @AndrewBurchill]

@alejandroll10 @kareem_carr Well, it is described by its creators as "a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics", so it makes sense that it's being used that way, I guess.
