The Raiders being absolute garbage for a quarter century made this decision for me.

Could you give us a hint? Is it methodological, editorial bias, specific examples, particular issues, color scheme, layout choice?

Ohhhhh

Okay I read it was the problem on methodology? The PAC relationship wasn't a good indication of moderate vs extreme? Do you think they purposefully put the "somewhat ideological" (received money from moderate and non-moderate pac) into ideological to gin the numbers? Or the overall centrist message?

@chezvoila.com‬ need this too plz

Hey I typed the url plus reddit into my google and it didn't give me anything I didn't know there was an entire account dedicated to it! Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu

I don't have a subscription to the NYT and Alberto's post makes no specific claims whatsoever... it's not really great discourse.

"ordinary" he says

Can someone please explain to me what the effect size of being an incumbent across those categories means? What is the range of, say, the top orange bar expressing? Or, better yet, point me at the dataset?

Love it! I think there's a real verdant field for real work doing real analytics views using physics metaphors.

I used #matterjs to do a bit of data visualization using physical metaphors and I loved it. We should all do more #datavisualization with physics engines, especially for systems like this.
Also, if you want to learn about watermarks, give it a try.
flink-watermarks.wtf

Oh yeah I made a new thing explaining watermarks in Apache Flink.

Order the special.

I feel like you're one glass of absinthe away from being the H R Geiger of dataviz.

We are trying to create a list of in-copyright novels that contain maps. If you know of some, drop them in the thread below! 🧵👇

We can only hope so.

Most people don't know that Avicenna only spoke English when enacting metaphors from the Greek pantheon.

I feel like the relentless drumbeat of superficial color accessibility has lead to just terrible color decisions.

Enjoying @nadiehbremer.com's CHART (and the sun 😁). It's a great book — Nadieh's work is amazing anyways, and I love how generously she shares her tricks and recipes. www.routledge.com/CHART-Design...

I appreciate that you remind us of the seagull attack at just the right rate so it doesn't seem like you're milking it for laughs and that we can earnestly relive it and totally have sympathy and not at all amusement at your being maimed in such an absurd way.

Growing up in the central valley, we would say "yo-se-MITE" as a fun way of referring to Yosemite and everyone I knew thought it was cute and fine. Just own it and be cooler than those pronunciation police.

But that doesn't work so well when your color names include "ruby dust" or "seasoned green apple" in your available names...

Color Name API Get human-readable color names from hex codes using our simple REST API.

Distinct color names are important for data visualization when you're presenting so that you don't have someone say "What about the green bar" and you have to say "You mean this green" and they say "No the other green."

Ooh - some great #dataviz resources in here

Gee, I wonder if this rule was coined during GB1's term...

On dual axis design matter In the last 15 years, the dual axis design was one of the most discussed matters in dataviz, with several prominent figures dedicating articles to this subject. I will enumerate only a few of them.

(I know I just shared this one internally: www.linkedin.com/pulse/dual-a...)

Checks out: Cars sucked in the 90s.

I couldn't find a write up of this chart anywhere. It's so good. Too bad he died in that connected scatterplot accident so we'll never know.

The older I get the more I think @danz68.bsky.social might have been right about everything.

OMG #visualized will be back!! Visualized share.google/tOOaw9XSEVa4...
