The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know. Save this one and reshare it please! 📊

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

The Guardian’s Visual & Data Journalism team is expanding! We have three exciting new roles, and we're looking for people who can help us push the boundaries of how we find, report and tell stories. 🧵⬇️

I apparently forgot to update my bio for a long time, so here's the scoop: I'm now a data reporter at City Cast DC! I write + report about everything numeric and hyperlocal. So far that is the U.S. Park Police, the suicide lifeline, streateries, paid leave, a really really big dome, + more

This week, I made a map for an amazing story about China launching a new shipping route along the Arctic to reach Europe. To build it, I used the GlobeBuilder QGIS plugin, which easily creates a world from space 3D globe. github.com/osgeosuomi/G...

A lot of great new hires at 𝖭̶𝖮̶𝖳̶𝖴̶𝖲̶ @washingtonsun.bsky.social, but adding @andrewvandam.bsky.social’s wit, insights and data dexterity might be the best pickup of all.

🥫 I'm happy to release geodataframe-to-pmtiles, an open-source Python utility that can help you map massive data files by quickly writing GeoPandas GeoDataFrames as a PMTiles archive. https://palewi.re/docs/geodataframe-to-pmtiles/

🧅 Today, I'm happy to release isobands, an open-source library that makes it easier to present a dense dataset as a smoothed-out map.

The latest iteration of our El Niño forecast tracker is out today. The forecasts update every month, but the daily temperature data on the chart is updated every day. w/ @bennollweather.bsky.social Gift link: wapo.st/4wiMD08

Our only recourse: spend vast amounts of money to defend the most important places, and retreat from or abandon the rest. A society-shaking mass migration of millions of Americans away from the coast is inevitable in future decades because of increased climate change-induced flood risk. 7/7

More than 500 cooling towers across Manhattan are not in compliance with city regulations requiring monthly water sample tests to help combat the spread of the potentially deadly Legionella bacteria, records examined by The City Reporter show.

From my post last year, my 4 favorite sources of wildfire smoke forecasts: 1-3 day from NOAA: airquality.weather.gov?element=apm2... rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/HRRRsmo... 3-day from Environment Canada: weather.gc.ca/firework/ 5-10-day from NASA: fluid.nccs.nasa.gov/wxmaps/chem2...

Worth remembering that the data center energy story is mainly a US story this decade. It's also, as a share of total power capacity added globally, not the main story. From BNEF's 2026 New Energy Outlook:

At the start of a potentially historic season, federal wildland firefighters report widespread understaffing, low morale, inadequate prioritization of prescribed fire and other serious issues. Add this to the long and growing list of reasons to be worried. (Survey: Grassroots Wildland Firefighters)

Really looking forward to this. If you're on the @bellingcat.com discord server, hope to see you there.

I really, really hate to sharing this, but last week, we @biographic.bsky.social learned that the California Academy of Sciences will no longer be providing the magazine with financial support, including money we were expecting to receive this year. We're in a real bind.
