Isso me deixou meio em choque. É tudo o que o @albertocairo.com sempre falou pra NÃO FAZER em jornalismo visual.

Que horror

A screenshot of my cover with this quote: David Perry is one of the most trusted voices on how to think, write, and work in public. He has a clear ethic about the critical importance of intellectual labor at a moment when the risks of being public have rarely been greater, and the reasons why academics must risk it have rarely been so clear." - Tressie McMillan Cottom, New York Times columnist, author of Thick: And Other Essays

My next book, a practical guide for how to write for mass media, publishes four weeks from today. I hope you'll consider ordering it now, inviting me to speak, and to tell others. Here's what @tressiemcphd.bsky.social said about my work.

I sympathize

Same experience with the exact same song. From it I moved to ‘Bright Horses’, a masterpiece from the masterful ‘Ghosteen’ album, and never left since www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfKY...

Usage figure from page 9 of the report

The report, www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r... Reading the text, the rather worrying headline figure of 45% use it for factual information may well be referring to AI summaries in search results.

I'm glad the US pilot is safe but the sheer discrepancy shown by most Americans of all political stripes between the value of the life a soldier who *literally signed up for this shit* and the value of the lives of thousands of civilians who didn't is indefensible under any coherent moral code

Chart below. I wonder if the report shows what people use it for.

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

He correctly punctuated fuckin'

Each day we explore a little more about whether is true that the President can stay irrational longer than you can stay a Constitutional Republic.

A watercolor and ink hand drawn slope chart showing the state (Going Strong, or Struggling) of several family metrics before and after a cat, Nazgûl, moved in. Since his arrival, family nicknames and hilarity have increased; forearms, sleep, furniture, the dog's attitude, and uninvited mouseguests are struggling.

I wrote this yesterday: "U.S. journalistic "objectivity" and "balance" consist of exposing us to endless coverage about the search for a single airman while the 170 people (mostly children) killed in the school in Iran are treated as a faceless number to be quickly forgotten."

Another example:

“Does someone have a more chill way to describe 762,000 African deaths?”

“Let’s go with messy.”

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:
☀️🌍🚀🌕

That's very similar to Ray's thinking!

The truth of U.S. journalistic "objectivity" and "balance" is that it consists of exposing us to endless coverage about the search for a single airman while the 170 people (mostly children) killed in the the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Iran are treated as a faceless number to be quickly forgotten.

I think we're already entering the Find Out stage on this stuff, which is good. People are becoming savvier readers and can spot it faster, the bots are not getting better, and it's just becoming more and more clear who does and doesn't give a shit.

Does this person not have friends? Like, just ask someone you know "is this shit?" Has worked great for a long time.

Beyond #dataviz hobby.

Woohoo! 'Searching for Birds' has been nominated for a Webby Award in Best Data Visualization ✨🤩

If you feel like it's worth a win, I'd immensely appreciate a minute of your time to vote for it 🙇‍♀️ vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting...

Thank you! 🙏♥️

Just finished reading the draft of this book for the second time, and it made me smile and think as much as it did the first time. Pre-order it.

Also, it's full of illustrations by @nigelblue.bsky.social. As Simon writes, "There's a joy to Nigel's work which emanates through his art to the reader."

Same...

Screenshot of a news story saying that "The Supreme Court on Tuesday found that a Colorado law banning conversion therapy for gay and transgender minors likely violates free speech, the latest in a string of decisions by the high court rolling back protections for LGBTQ+ people and expanding the rights of the religious."

"The Supreme Court on Tuesday found that laws banning asbestos in construction materials likely violate free speech".

Exact same thing. Utter contemptible madness.

I recently interviewed Deniz for the Friends of the Open Visualization Academy series. We talked about his amazing career and, more specifically, about this project. I'll release the episode a month from now

Great graph. It reminds me of this classic by the Wall Street Journal's graphics team: graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d...
