A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

Mayor Mamdani's got a hankering for great data design! Got a knack for data visualization and live in NYC? This job could be for you. Looks awesome (though it's temporary, though April next year.) cityjobs.nyc.gov/job/data-vis...

I'd really like to see more posts from women in the Data Viz feed that Jacque has created and maintains. You have sign up below and then use the #dataviz and 📊 tag to appear in it. I jus did a quick survey of the last 100 posts that appear there and posts by women only represent 20% of them.

I designed & coded an interactive archive of Germany’s richest people for the Manager Magazin. It started with 25 years of data and a puzzle. Which entries belong to the same person or family? A matching pipeline and a review tool for the editors made it possible. 🔗 See link in comment. #dataviz

Really like this graph, not just for what it shows but (as a dataviz designer) especially how it shows. #dataviz

The thread deriving from @mjskay.com's response to my post reminds me of good, old #dataViz Twitter. I miss this type of conversation!

If you're starting to think about the #30DayMapChallenge, here are some resources you might find helpful 👇 nrennie.rbind.io/resources/ma... Links to free books, colour palettes, data, and inspiration 📊 #RStats #DataViz

The Wikipedia community has built a tool that makes it possible to embed our interactive Our World in Data charts right in any Wikipedia page. I have always admired Wikipedia and all the people contributing to it. And I'm very happy that our work now can get used this way!

Deforestation surged under Bolsonaro but slowed under President Lula da Silva. Recently published numbers by the Brazilian Institute for Space Research show deforestation fell during the past year, to its lowest rate since satellite observations began (1988). data.inpe.br/biomasbr/est... 🌴🇧🇷💚

The red square is the $1 trillion the Republicans cut from Medicaid (over 10 years). The green square is the $50 billion Rural Health Fund they're all so proud of (over 5 years). The blue square is the $190 million that Susan Collins is crowing about in her Maine rural health care ad.

A friend recently assured me that polymarket could beat any polls, because more people meant more information was integrated in the "prices". I guess that's their bet, but yesterday… it didn't work observablehq.com/@fil/polymar...

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

At first I thought it was a random order but after closer inspection, it might be an attempt at some gradient with what they found at the paper store.

What most people don't know: when you fill up a petrol car most of the energy never moves it. Petrol car: 13–21% of the crude oil's energy reaches wheels. Electric car on today's UK grid: 43–45%. Electric car on wind+solar: 77–80%. That's why we don't need to replace fossil energy one for one.

It's my birthday. My birthday wish is that you make something today. A sketch or a poem or a little piece of code. A cake. A joke. A clever piece of joinery. That you revel, even just for a small moment, in the act of creation. It's what we've got.

This is a masterpiece of a chart. Well done @theboysmithy.ft.com and @amyborrett.ft.com. Take some time to understand it. Jealous

Official monthly data is in, and US solar power remains near its record high from last month, up 18% compared to this time last year!

Especially sad for the dataviz community for whom SciAm has always had an outsized importance. 📊

It's been truly depressing to watch the gutting of SciAm--and of course, terrible to watch so many great journalists (and friends) lose their jobs amid the meltdown.

That could be bad news for Democrats in a year when the Senate is decided by red states. If polling errors follow the average historic trend, Democrats' leads in Texas and Alaska could be wiped out while Iowa and Kansas move firmly into the Republican column www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Aaron churns out quality content like this and has just over 300 followers. I think it qualifies as a hidden gem. 📊

Visualising Climate is just two weeks away. I haven't been this excited about a conference for more than a decade. And it won't be a one-time event; we've already chosen the location for the 2027 edition, which we'll announce on November 6th 1/x

This is a well-known success story in Quebec and we take a lot of pride in this system. I’m glad to see it represented with a good chart. 📊

This is a form of information design.

Seems relevant to that flood of journalists who in the last few weeks announced publicly that it was okay to return to X, that the platform had gotten better, and the worst aspects of it had been minimized. This is what you have endorsed.
