Merlin Bird ID - Home Identify Bird Songs and Calls Sound ID listens to the birds around you and shows real-time suggestions for who’s singing. Compare your recording to the songs and calls in Merlin to confirm what you...

"Aging is weird: I see birds now!" Oh, I feel seen 😅
One of my greatest joys lately: trying to learn to distinguish the songs of different birds with the Merlin Bird ID app (by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology) merlin.allaboutbirds.org

I'm so be happy to be part of the organizing committee of this conference. Join us in Bologna! #dataViz #infographics #dataVisualization #dataJournalism You can submit a proposal for a talk, paper, workshop, etc: visualisingclimate.com/submissions/

🎉 We’ve received 709 responses to the 2025 SOTI Survey so far! Take the survey if you create #dataviz in any capacity (hobby, work, school, art), and help us spread the word: www.surveyhero.com/c/soti2025-b...

And here I am, thinking I am smart just because I know how to use XLOOKUP in Excel.

Great follow-up!

I won't be the person to tell you this, and not that my opinion matters that much but: your newsletter is awesome and brings me joy. Love the fact you tackle very different topics with clear charts and visuals every time.

Birth Lottery If you were reborn today, where would you land? And how would that change your life?

To highlight challenges in other countries, Giving What We Can imagined a birth lottery to see how you might start life from birth. Spin the globe and see how the country you land on compares against your own in terms of life expectancy, income, and education.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

and, as a European, also this recent Guardian's article about what is considered radical or not, depending on which side of the pond you live (among other factors, obviously!) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I find myself in equal measures delighted by this chart and mortified that it did not occur to me first. The article that accompanies it is equally charming.

fast and furious

I will keep with silly chart jokes!

Vroom, vroom, would it be 'Baby Driver'?

Long-time lurker, playing today! I have no idea if the image needs to have a link to the topic, so I just uploaded the last pic someone sent me.

just seeing this now, let me catch up :)

Dicing an Onion, the Mathematically Optimal Way There is more than one way to dice an onion…

Desperately need a word for when you hate the subject of a data, but like the visual. My latest combines a comparison chart & cartogram to show which states allow prisons to charge "pay-to-stay" fees. #dataviz

well deserved!

Ah, looking at your previous code and wondering what fever brought you to write this or that 🤭

that's good to hear! One of my struggles learning Svelte (and perhaps, code in general to be honest) is "what did I do wrong or is this because of the position of the planets?" 😆

👀 Dataviz folks, anyone using Svelte 5 yet? 😗📊

Curious how it feels for visualisation work:
🟢 Easier?
🟡 Harder?
🔵 Ready for production?

Also on the hunt for code starting points: drop links if you’ve got them! 💡

Paris?

Bruxelles?

+1. went to Chicago last year, will attend Miami virtually this year.

Wake up babe, @alv9n.com dropped his latest @puddingviz.bsky.social's project. #dataviz 📊

Last year, there were talks of viewing parties for people who could not attend in person, I believe? It could be cool to organise one in Europe?
Disclaimer: not throwing my hat in the ring to organise, just wondering if that's something @datavizsociety.bsky.social or someone is working on?

Wow, I had to check this was a real article and not a spoof.
Using biased data visualization to push a narrative is like using phrenology to justify beliefs—it looks 'scientific' on the surface but falls apart under scrutiny.

Signal boosting this 🧵. Whether you are a #dataviz professional or amateur, journalist or working in a corporate setting, it's all the same: don't ignore your responsibilities and ethics. Especially now.
