Harrell is crashing and burning. Wheels coming off the bus.

I've more than once seen people who know this stuff saying that we don't actually know what the diagnostic criteria for "autistic person without cPTSD" would be, because as far as can be determined we don't know of any.

"This is not the time for hope," is a hell of a slogan. A+

I know who I’m voting for. And it’s not the aggressive mansplainer.

Not taking a stand absolutely, definitionally, puts you on the side of the abuser. Always.

Silence is complicity.

If you want to hear me rant about smart defaults, bar graphs, and bicycles, start at 38:50.

My partner @taephoenix.bsky.social is a huge baseball fan. I'm a data vis nerd. Our powers combined bring you this graphic.

Seattle @mariners.com Cal Raleigh is tied at 41 with all-time greats Roy Campanella and Todd Huntley for most home runs by a catcher in a single season.

Had a great time talking with @jed.co about one of my favorite books, China Mountain Zhang, by Maureen F. McHugh. This book was inspiring for me early in my design career. Thank you for having me on the show!

@clairewillett honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion 6:00 PM • Aug 12, 2020

once again I must tap my own sign

The national security and cybersecurity impacts of this Trump-Musk fallout are out of this world. Musk and the DOGE boys have their tentacles all up in just about every system that supports US government function…

a friend of mine shared this ai-generated "emotion wheel" and unfortunately i have been laughing my ass off at it for like 15 minutes now. today i am feeling Fnliinneon

I definitely believe that!

Police officers are killing more Americans than then they did five years ago when they killed George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Too many people have been deluded into believing the problem is the problem solvers, the perpetrators are the victims, and the treatment is the disease.

As I noted last week:

The hype machine has convinced people that genAI can do a lot of things it cannot.

And it is going as well as you would expect:

Finally saw Sinners today, really enjoyed it. Worth seeing for the music alone, unless you don’t like mild horror. Really wish the @unaffiliatedcritic.com would write about it.

Ternary plot - Wikipedia

Yesterday I was discussing ternary plots with @danyelf.bsky.social and some other folks. The one we were looking at wasn't entirely clear.
Explanations in wikipedia and this example are quite good.

This 2018 piece about how minuscule pockets are in women’s jeans is definitely my claim to dataviz fame ✨ pudding.cool/2018/08/pock...

It was so much fun to build this one with @jadiehm.bsky.social and I love how much people still enjoy it 🥰

Evergreen thread.

Thanks to @noupside.bsky.social for talking to me about her book, Invisible Rulers. I can't recommend it enough to anyone trying to understand the business, design, policy & regulatory choices that created the internet - especially people who work in PR & adland, who paved the way for this world.

I’ve been playing the Queen‘s puzzle game, where the queens must be placed so they are not close to each other, nor sharing a row or column or region. And I think it’s actually about cats on the bed.

BREAKING: Trump and Republican leadership in Congress admit they are incapable of passing their own budget for NINE FREAKING MONTHS because they take a fuck-ton number of days off so they can perform angertainment spectacles, Trump can play golf, and because they hate each other.

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites.

Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people.

Well I like that idea #resist #dumpoligarchs #dumptrump
