Entertaining, insightful and actionable! 🔥

Whether you’re well established as an innovator in the data science community, or just getting started carving out your niche - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Roger and Hilary do an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of data analysis (and its impact on our lives!) - with leaders who are actually practitioners themselves. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

Hilary, for the sake of your mental health, get off Twitter bc

After being mutuals for years I unfortunately had to unfollow @hspter due to a tweet in which they said of someone else,

“ ‘Lost her humanity’ is far too generic & kind. Her tweets and behavior are riddled with codependent dynamics, splitting and other signs of a massive personality disorder. She is not someone to follow, she is a cautionary tale.”

Armchair psych diagnoses are where I draw the line. And all I can think of here is, Hilary, having had you on my TL for years…. Please read the above comment into a mirror. I’m trying to put this gently: Your own timeline in the past couple months has not exactly been the picture of emotional stability.

Clearly both you and person of which you spoke are traumatized by the events and continuing aftermath to 10/7, and it will take time and work to get through that. But Twitter is a place where you can choose to continue retraumatizing yourself over and over, and continue losing your humanity, if that’s the way you engage with it. Please consider that it might be better not to.

Conspiracist Hillary

Used to enjoy but hard to listen to now that Hilary has gone full conspiracy theorist online. She has been posting the most outlandish things on Twitter that makes it hard to take her seriously
