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

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.

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. But that's because I was convinced that burnout was something you could fix with a vacation: https://t.co/hGHgNX3uSE — Anne Helen Petersen (@annehelen) January 5, 2019 via https://twitter.com/annehelen

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 […]

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

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

1/2 Two contradictory truths about "executive time" for presidents:– It's really true that, in normal circumstances, a prez's time is *most* precious commodity, and must be ferociously guarded to allow chance to think, second-guess, recharge. So "blank" time. is precious time. — James Fallows (@JamesFallows) February 4, 2019 via https://twitter.com/JamesFallows
