My Neighbor Demon-Tiger

A digitally painted fanart of Kpop Demon Hunters. Rumi, a Korean pop star in her early 20s, stands under a yellow umbrella in the pouring rain outside a glowing corner store. Next to her is the silly blue tiger derpy, sitting in the wet street with no umbrella. The tiny, six-eyed bird Sussie sits on top of Derpy's head with a tiny red umbrella. The colors skew toward a glowing magenta.

Thank you! I feel like I've been leaning more on DT lately, but that helps a lot for nudging me to explore reactable more.

Jeff Pannell @pezkin.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

I love these and have already shared them with coworkers! Thanks so much for always putting together great resources. For the tables, is there a specific reason why you might want to choose between reactable/DT?

I think of this poem I saw posted a little while back ...

For a student who used AI to write a paper

Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

I post a lot about how important it is to not just do data quality checks on your entire sample, but also by grouping variables (to uncover hidden errors). But @emilyriederer.bsky.social wrote a whole article about it! emilyriederer.netlify.app/post/groupin...

Which of these numbers doesn’t belong? -1, 0, 1, NA. You can’t judge data quality without data context, so our tools should enable as much context as possible.

Share your output and the code used to generate it on social media with the #TidyTuesday hashtag.

The cover of the Dungeons and Dragons Free Rules from the website dndbeyond.com. The tagline at the top calls D&D the World's greatest roleplaying game. The image shows a wizard with white hair and a red robe casting a spell, with a pair of sword-wielding allies nearby. They're battling a wyvern, a dragon-like creature with a scorpion's tail.

A bar plot of D&D Spell Power. Number of spells available at each level for each class. Spells are counted by level, from cantrip, which is level 0, and then 1 through 9. Columns are grouped by class, with paladin having the fewest total spells available, and wizards having the most. Wizards have the most spells available at every level except for cantrips, where they're barely edged out by sorcerers. Only warlocks, clerics, druics, bard, sorcerors, and wizards have spells above level 5. Paladins and Rangers only have spells at levels 1 through 5.
