Yes. Bazball should be completely buried by the end of it. Come on Big Ben.

Even with the Ashes out of reach, Ben Stokes feels there’s still plenty for England to play for heading into Boxing Day at the MCG

Adelaide is a great wicket for a test match to be played on, and you can argue that it would be the best chance (conditionally) for ENG to bounce back, hopefully they can overcome their abysmal history there.

Don’t write the obituary yet, but something needs to change. You took a team that used to take the game to the end (win or lose) to losing 2 games in 6 days and having a shambolic performance against India in transition. Is it because English have started investing in flat tracks at home? #Ashes

Does Joe Root plays with Bazball mindset, or is he just so good that anything he touches turns to gold? Because apart from him, this whole Bazball experience is crashing and burning (with a little bit of weeping) for a while now. #Ashes

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

PhDs are job training programs. Understand what job you want when you get out, and how spending somewhere between 5%-10% of your total life making almost no money will help get you there.
You owe it to yourself to be brutally honest here: what are the odds? What do you need to do to improve them?

On the theme of magical things that R allows you to do, have you tried making a scrollytelling story using the closeread package? I learned about the work that Andrew Bray and James Goldie have done on closeread at positconf last year and was blown away.
