"…an interruption is something less important that 'gets in the way' of going somewhere or doing something more important. Now, when we read about the life of Jesus, he seems to have a different take on interruptions…" @jbyas https://t.co/Pu59keBwdI — Peter Enns (@peteenns) August 7, 2019 via https://twitter.com/peteenns

God I love this chart. For most of recorded history, if you had a kid their chance of surviving to age 15 was roughly a coinflip.

You could make a case that this was Lucy's 2nd attempt to hold the football still, as this attempt took place in the early 1950s. But in the 1979 strip, she seemed well intentioned (for once). pic.twitter.com/5MxmizqxwA — Tom Heintjes (@Hoganmag) August 2, 2019 via https://twitter.com/Hoganmag

Competence dwarfs all other virtues, and nearly every moral system ever devised aims first at disguising that fact. — Aaron Haspel (@ahaspel) October 28, 2019 via https://twitter.com/ahaspel

Today in Comics History: In "Peanuts" on August 2, 1979 (40 years ago), Lucy actually tried to hold the football in place so Charlie Brown could kick it. (Predictably, it did not end well for either of them.) pic.twitter.com/Ivf6dLzJM1 — Tom Heintjes (@Hoganmag) August 2, 2019 via https://twitter.com/Hoganmag

But if you model things that interact with human behavior, and you then show (either explicitly or implicitly) the results of your model to humans, you are via your model changing the very thing you are attempting to predict. Google's ad algorithms aren't just predicting… — Colin Wyers (@cwyers) October 29, 2019 via https://twitter.com/cwyers

Have just heard a paleontologist say this, which blew my head off: When a T-Rex was alive all Stegosaurus were already fossils. A T-Rex is closer in time to an iPad than to a Stegosaurus. — Marc Willcox (@MarcWillcox) September 2, 2019 via https://twitter.com/MarcWillcox

Here's my 4th tutorial in my "R for Hockey Analysis" series, where I show you how you can use #rstats for hockey data. This tutorial is centered around the basics of RegEx and the stringr 📦, which can help you immensely with cleaning your data.https://t.co/PheKvkFz7r — Evan Oppenheimer (@OppenheimerEvan) January 9, 2019 via https://twitter.com/OppenheimerEvan

Right. Take a deep breath. 🥵 After the #NoConfidenceVote I have reworked my Brexit flow diagram. 🚨 The events of the last two days have made this more complex, not less. And there are more loops than before. I *think* the chances of #Article50 extension are now up though. pic.twitter.com/jlcqDJq4i0 — Jon Worth (@jonworth) January […]

I'm beginning to question the assumption that exploration is a quality of good decision making. In human work, it assumes that people have lived safe lives where seeking information has resulted in good outcomes. This is not a valid assumption for much of humanity. — Grissom Lab (@NicolaGrissom) January 4, 2019 via https://twitter.com/NicolaGrissom

For essentially every being *other* than powerful people, life is nasty, brutish, and short, and shorter if you mess up. In light of this, choosing to *change* strategies, particularly after finding one that works well enough, goes against "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". — Grissom Lab (@NicolaGrissom) January 4, 2019 via https://twitter.com/NicolaGrissom

This piece began with me trying to figure out why I had "errand paralysis" and ballooned into this much bigger thing. I was convinced I didn't have burnout.
