A little unintentional self-parody from UK fascists, proudly wearing their inverted union flags.

It's good to see something more subtle than the usual slapstick. (e.g. 41% of the "protect are wimmin" rioters from last summer found to have been reported to the police for domestic abuse).

Finally had a legit business use for a Sankey chart. Fun (albeit time-cosuming!) to build in Tableau.

Neither side, very much. If your 'side' gladly watches Donald Trump abuse his wife, I want no part of it.
Gladly, enough of people for today.

Another calculated dog whistle. Like the Pope meme. In a strange way, I'm more horrified to see Melania abused openly, without comment or care, than the chaos he causes in the world. At least people stand up to that.

...I'm also kinda fascinated to see what happens when the balance tips and the proliferation of AI-produced content means that AI training data is mostly AI-generated... and the next generation of digital incest when most AI training data has been produced by AI models trained mostly on... etc.

I'd go further and challenge the mediocrity argument. I will always prefer the simplest, most ordinary meal, home-cooked with care, to anything produced without it. The same applies to anything that feeds my mind.

So much this.

Same. I’m in a pretty good place now but still read his posts every day. I miss Abbey Road. Wish she could’ve known how much she helped me and countless other people.

Thank you for bringing comfort in dark places.
Fare thee well.

I'd never noticed the 5th Beetle on Abbey Road before.
Doodling makes you look closer.

Finally seeing that I needed to set that boundary was one of the most painful/crushing realisations I've had. Actually setting it? Probably the most difficult thing I've done as an adult.

Brilliant! Thank you!!

Is there somewhere else to get these? The week 21 challenge still isn't up on workout-wednesday.com/latest/

Damnit, didn't link to the dashboard! 😆

This week's Workout Wednesday technical challenge. I found this tough - MUCH prefer prepping data in SQL to trying to model it in Tableau. Felt like I was fighting poor data structure throughout, e.g. using MAKEDATE to get months for the line chart. Just felt... wrong.

Prelim sketch for my next doodle 🥺

This week's #Makeovermonday. Nice, chewy dataset... enjoyed this one!

for the folks using Tableau Public to showcase their work, nice to see the @bsky.app option in your social links

Finally finished. Back to data viz for a bit.

Starting to think I don’t have the boredom threshold for this learning-to-draw malarkey

This week's Makeover Monday... showing why I can't improve on the original pie/bar combo. Pew Research nailed it: elegant simplicity, low cognitive load, high read accuracy.

I like the way you did the stars! Neat. My method was more pedestrian:
CASE [Score]
WHEN 1
THEN '★☆☆☆☆'
etc.
