I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

Idk if you’ve see Ezra Klein’s piece yet. Couldn’t get through most of it

Those who whitewash him and his actions are complicit in sustaining the racism, bigotry, hatred, and vitriol that continue to plague America.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

I love seeing your sense of humor come out in these blog posts! And the small multiples of radar graphs made my head hurt.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Data is not unbiased.

I am not one bit afraid of losing work, because I have the audacity to believe that if enough of us stop supporting a corrupt, racist, misogynist, grifter capitalism system, and make it clear where we stand, we will thrive. ✨ #solidarity #dataviz

this is where i'm at mentally these days

Terrible news today:

This year, one-third of coral cover has been destroyed in two northern sections of the Great Barrier reef due to anthropogenic heating.

Results for the southern sections (which were even hotter) have not been officially released.

You need more of these voices in your feed! DM me to add yourself or someone else you recommend to this starter pack for women in data and AI.

I should have clarified that it's going to go live next week!

HAHA alerts like these would make my day.

I did not know you are on TikTok! Share the handle ;)

Alli's book has been so helpful for me as well. AND, I joined this platform because she mentioned being on here when she was on my podcast.

I find it kind of funny that I'm PURPOSELY hunting for dirty data (to use for a training I'm developing for an O'Reilly Live event).

If you have dirty data and want me to demo how to clean it using AI, feel free to send them to me 🤣

This is because we all have limited cognitive capacity and having a lot of options can actually make decision-making harder (or take longer).

⚠️ Beware of the paradox of choice, which is when you believe that having a lot of options is better.

When in reality it's not 🙅🏽‍♀️

🏆 Pro tip for presenting data to leaders (especially c-suite): Don't provide TOO many options for solutions/things they should do.
