cool R trick for those unaware: the {labelled} package can be used to set variable labels which are automatically used by some other packages, including {ggplot2} and {gtsummary}
also:
library(labelled)
mtcars <- mtcars |> set_variable_labels(mpg = "Miles per gallon", wt = "Weight (1,000 lbs)")
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt))

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Everyone suprised Australia supports Genocide forgets how Australia reacts to Truth Teling.
Australia is more like Israel than anywhere else on earth, in that is a violent illegal occupation of Aboriginal Lands.

It would be a massacre if the Democrats were spiritually led by Omar and not Schumer.
It would be so easy to do this, and yet. And yet. They are still a center right party in a country that is incredibly pissed off and radicalized.

I don’t think Democrats are walking into the landslide victory they think they are come midterms.
I think they’re radicalizing/immobilizing more people than they realize.

All the money, none of the submarines: AUKUS deal paying upfront for hopes and dreams
When Kerry Packer bought Channel 9 back from Allan Bond for effectively half the price Bond had sold it to him, Packer famously said “You only get one Alan Bond in your lifetime, and I’ve had mine”.

I know the cruelty is the point, but this is just fucking evil.
Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.
On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.
ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.
