dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited!

- `filter_out()` for dropping rows

- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools

These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

Carney:

"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

In-depth story on @uwmadison.bsky.social that illustrates how the Trump admin is kneecapping America's most globally competitive export industry: higher education. A depressing but true quote 👇 from my Ph.D. student. The number of foreign students in my classes has dropped precipitously this year.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Gentle reminder that all EU country products fall under the same tariff regime. Trump seeks to divide the EU. And he might succeed. Not everyone will act in solidarity with Denmark if that means higher tariffs for their products. It’s the economy, stupid.
Trump: “I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security.”

Trade war incoming!

Does he really think people are so scared of tariffs? Probably, as he clearly doesn’t understand what they are.
