There are a number of issues with this analysis but I found one that I haven't seen anyone else mention: Kaufmann estimates gender ID from the FIRE data without using the survey weights
When the weights are used as designed, the evidence for his core claim disappears

🚀 I made a tracker that shows when the Census Bureau adds or removes datasets from their APIs.
Dashboard at www.hrecht.com/census-api-d... and follow @censusapitracker.bsky.social for major updates.
I've been wanting to build this for years but now seemed an especially important time to keep track.

A short #rstats post about generating quarto syntax (e.g., for wrapping several plots in a tabset) within the R code chunk itself. I am entirely unsure if this is useful. Some feedback would be appreciated

#TidyTuesday week 26 - It ain't much but it's honest work.
I chose to look at the average differences in prices between conventional and reformulated gasoline -- which honestly I have not ever thought much about! Interesting to see such differences increase over the years. #rstats #dataviz

Put together this (probably overkill) #TidyTuesday CLI tool to browse data sets and create template scripts. Maybe this will motivate me to participate more 😅

Does anybody in the #rstats world have advice on using a custom docx template with Quarto? I’m looking to be able to customize the header of the docx from the qmd too.

1. Make up for the cut, at a cost of $626 billion over a decade.
2. Rollback the expansion, leading to 20 million people losing Medicaid.

Some friends noticed that they can’t download U.S. Census TIGER/Line spatial files this morning.
Hopefully this is just a temporary issue. In the meantime, I suggest using the IPUMS National Historic GIS database. They have both the census data and the spatial files you would probably need.
