Gun Violence Map: How Many People Have Been Shot Near You? Explore data on more than 441,000 shootings in the United States.

In many parts of the U.S., gun violence is down to pre-pandemic rates. In some places, shootings are at historic lows. In others, the drop is still out of reach. Use our Atlas of American Gun Violence — now updated with all 2025 data — to see how gun violence has marked your corner of the country.

Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.

Des cartes inspirantes ! Voici des cartes qui utilisent la métaphore du vent pour illustrer la dynamique électorale entre deux dates. La direction et la couleur montrent le changement du vote sur une période donnée, la longueur du trait son intensité.

History requires deep, extensive research a lot of that research will end up not being directly relevant. You won't know that until you get in it. Research isn't just pulling a doc with all the answers, it's finding connections, it's understanding what's *not* being said, it's knowing context.

We do not invite the fae into the house and that now includes generative AI. We do not give them our full names and we do not, under any circumstances, make any sort of deal with them.

This triangle helps explain a titanic shift in how Australia votes This triangle is going to help us explain how Australian politics has fundamentally changed over the past five decades.

So much to love in the scrollytelling — the ternary plot, the depth of the data, the findings — but my favourite part is the explanation and the text in general. 📊

Remember, a chart doesn't have to be understood in 3 seconds. It should reward the effort you put into understanding it.

Serve Protomaps Tiles with NodeJS | Craig Kochis Serve Protomaps Tiles with NodeJS

You can serve PMTiles directly from a cloud object storage but sometimes, you want to control who accesses data and how often—and you need a server for that. Craig Kochis wrote examples of how to serve PMTiles using a NodeJS server application.

Once again, the New York Times gives the dataviz community an opportunity to reflect on its purpose.

Can everything be quantified and turned into a chart?

Most important: what are the consequences of a chart?

If words matter, charts matter too.

Top: the word order with a short fir tree branch on a white background. Bottom: the word chaos with a decomposition of the fir tree branch: three twigs and all needs organized like a bar chart.

When we visualize data, we reorganize the world, grouping and degrouping people and things across categories and time.

We remove a certain order as much as we create one. 📊

Every industry AI sets its evil eye lasers on says the same thing: we don't lack ideas, thanks, we lack time and money.

It's almost like AI was cooked up by people with time and money, but lacking ideas.

On the communication side of dataviz — what would you say, were the "hits" in the last few years? Pieces that went viral, found wide adoption, opened new audiences, were shared a lot.

There be dragons: dataviz in the industry I started being serious about data visualization around 2005, when the field was still pretty niche and people like Martin Wattenberg, Ben…
