Merry Christmas! Thrilled to share: My design was selected for the official 2025 digital holiday card for Notre Dame’s Online Master’s in Data Science program! 🎄🍀
I used Google Gemini to create a snowy, festive ND campus scene with twinkling lights & a glowing Golden Dome. ❄️✨
Are the college majors safest from AI the lowest paid?
Across 285 majors, no real link (r = 0.01). But image-AI exposure tracks higher pay, language-AI exposure lower. Curated and analyzed with @kirodotdev 🤖

I curated this week's #TidyTuesday data because my family buys avocado oil products. UC Davis: 93% of avocado oil chips were cut with cheaper oil, mayo 71%, dressings 100%. Olive oil passed almost every time. @kirodotdev built the fraud detector.

I taught a robot to judge the Bible 🤖
Curated this week's #TidyTuesday dataset (with @kirodotdev ), then trained a model on the undisputed scrolls and let it rate the disputed ones. Sirach? Looks legit. Tobit? Deeply sus (it's the Aramaic). 🤷

🔭 I curated this week's #TidyTuesday dataset after touring Palomar Observatory on a camping trip! 51% of nearby galaxies hide active black holes — built a BPT diagram + random forest AGN classifier with @kirodotdev

🇪🇺 In 1970, 1 of 21 European countries offered co-parent leave. By 2024: 19 do.
Spain sprinted from 2→16 weeks in 5 years. Norway took 25 years of incremental reform.

The Pope wrote an encyclical about AI. So naturally I used AI to analyze it 🤖📜
Compared Magnifica Humanitas (2026) with Rerum Novarum (1891) using NLP — same moral argument, 135 years apart.

My city Temecula has been twinned with a town in Japan since '94 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵 Threw 10,596 sister city links into a graph and the algorithm rediscovered colonialism, the Cold War, and WWII reconciliation. History is in the data.

Reorganized my 7-year TidyTuesday portfolio with AI:
🔧 @kirodotdev — repo restructuring, README generation, file cleanup, calendar integration 🎨 Nano Banana Pro — custom header banner design
200+ data vizzes, now actually browsable.

Italian beer production tracks the S&P 500 almost perfectly over 100 years 🍺📈
Coincidence? ML says yes. Both just grew over time. When you ask "does a good beer year = a good stock year?" the answer is no

AI vs. Reality! 🇮🇪 My latest #TidyTuesday workflow: Kiro for research, Positron for code, and Gemini for the infographic.
Gemini told a great story about Ireland's 2013 research pivot, but Kiro caught a €3.4B hallucination in the summary stats! 😱 #RStats #AI #DataViz

I scored 40 vintage novels for the "True Meaning of Christmas" (Sacred vs. Secular words) and styled the results like a vintage magazine using @GeminiApp Nano Banana Pro.
