I have finally made the switch to Quarto from Blogdown and I’m loving the updated features and the clean new look!

I also have a new logo, thanks to @jadeynryan.bsky.social, who helped me transition and design the new site. 💜

sarah (@sarahjohnson.io; 62/8/13; 2025-08-21): I was loving Claude Code… until I tried it with #rstats. Constant errors, wouldn’t use the tidyverse even when asked, “optimized” functions were slower.

Frustrated, I started a session just to teach R to Claude and summarize what it learned into a CLAUDE.md file gist.github.com/sj-io/3828d6… ↪

The package allows users to annotate base R graphics plots with freehand drawing, symbols, and text. This is useful for teaching (e.g., to visually explain certain plot elements) and creating quick sketches. ↪

Giles (@gdeejay.bsky.social; 8/6/1; 2025-08-23): Hey #rstats,

Can anybody recommend a good intuitive explanation of how to apply colors in ggplot2?

tidyverse functions are generally designed around an intuitive and consistent grammar / logic, but I haven’t seen a good explanation of this for colors.

Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 7/0/2; 2025-08-23): Mapped: natural change and net migration, US counties.

🗺️ Dark green: higher natural change & net migration;
🗺️ Bright green: higher NC, lower NM;
🗺️ Bright purple: Lower NC, higher NM;
🗺️ Light grey: lower NC & lower NM.

What stands out to you?
