The consistency of Amanda's @not-ship.com visual investigations is so relentlessly world class. That she's doing this solo and not with a wider team nor as part of a publication is pretty amazing. www.not-ship.com/w/

This is the first public one-day/Fundamentals course I've run since December 2024, with two-day/Masterclasses being more in demand, but I thought it was long overdue to offer this length of training for those who can only get sign-off for this price and for taking one day out the office.
Whether you're new to data viz or seeking to make a leap forward in your craft, the value of training is huge. Come join my next public training event, the 1-day 'Fundamentals of Data Visualisation' taking place at Flourish HQ in London on Tuesday 24 November. visualisingdata.com/2026/09/new-...
NEW TRAINING Typography plays a crucial role in how we read, understand, and engage with data. In this hands-on training with Eleni Beveratou, we'll explore how typefaces can shape the hierarchy, clarity, and character of a data visualisation. December 1 & 2, Utrecht graphichunters.nl/typography/
It's here, it's here! DATA BY DESIGN is here in my hands, and it is beautiful!!! So much gratitude to @mitpress.bsky.social @chronictanvi.bsky.social and the (not on bluesky) rest of the team for making this book a reality!

I know you're supposed to play the game with LinkedIn posts - use certain prose, include photos, not using so-called low-value URLs, garnering early likes/reposts - but to see a post is only getting served to 2.9% of followers (who presumably chose to follow) suggests its a fairly useless platform

Just come across these interviews on Instagram with movie stars where they’re challenged to guess the films they’ve been in/directed based on the average colours on screen across the duration of the movie. Tom Cruise is very good at it www.instagram.com/reel/Dd848fK...
As part of the celebration of the New York Times 175th anniversary, graphics director Archie Tse, wrote a brief story about the sketchbook he used while in Iraq covering the news of Saddam Hussein's hideout. Here [ nyti.ms/3TjBBKF ] is a list of objects that @nytimes.com's journalist can't forget.

I keep getting served this wretched ad on different sites for blood-soak-patterned tops, yet when you give feedback to say its inappropriate, a reload just brings it straight back. Not a great look for the BBC homepage to have these come up beneath a story of a pilot being stabbed.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...
When I looked into the question of how we could make cities safer for women (and the LGBTQ+ community, and racial minorities and those with disabilities), I discovered good intentions and no data. So what's working? Who knows! www.not-ship.com/safe-streets...
Do we actually know how to make cities safer for women?
