THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

In late June, Springer Nature sold Scientific American to LabX Media. I have since decided to step out of my role as a senior graphics editor for the magazine :: #sciart 📊 🧪 :: 🧵 [1/7]

CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.

I'm actually surprised by her apparent desire to do this: I thought she had the self-awareness to know her superpower is convincing the Epstein class of her brilliance, not conning us plebeians. But I guess I was giving her too much credit.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

A fifth of Leave voters have died.

I guess one difference between Jim Crow then and Jim Crow now is that we have cool graphics to show how it's done.

There was only a decade between Dred Scott and the ratification of the 14th Amendment, which completely changed the country's entire institutional structure. People radicalize when they're threatened, and today's rise in White Supremacy is no exception. 10/x

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

🔏 "In less than a decade, Donovan had done something remarkable. With hard-fought evidence gathered from inside American classrooms, he had mobilized a coalition of high school science teachers, education researchers, and geneticists to accept that prejudice might be a solvable problem."

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Delighted to share our revised paper (w/ @juliaturner.bsky.social & @jacobbastian.bsky.social ) showing that Universal Pre-K has broad effects on local labor markets — effects well beyond only mothers. Larger effects for full-day programs. nber.org/papers/w33767 #EconSky #EarlyChildhood #ECE

I made a tiny tool for quickly sharing small datasets (< ~1000 rows) without uploading any data to a server. 🔗 ziptbl.com It compresses the data into the link itself, so there’s no account, hosting, or storage layer involved. Here's Florence Nightingale's famous 📊 data: ziptbl.com#d=eNpdlE-LGz...

“Why can’t we have nice things?” A few highlights from my talk for Dartmouth’s “Data in Action” symposium, exploring civic dataviz and democracy. What makes collective action so difficult in the United States? How could that possibly depend on charts 📊?! What can we do?

Shocked, I tell you

Our government keeps telling us America can't afford universal health care or expanding Medicare for ALL. There's a reason for that.🗽

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

I hate every row and every column and every cell in every spreadsheet in the whole world.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

"'Anti-woke' is a convenient label because it obscures what the movement is actually against: accountability."

Imagine being a kid, making this, going with your parents to a family event, and then getting fucking tear gassed for it. You do not hate the modern Gestapo enough because they sure as fuck hate every decent person in this country.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are part of the autocratic war to control the narrative. The more lawless governments become, the more they seek to silence inconvenient facts and people and invent the reality they need.

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant

We're getting a snowstorm tomorrow. But New York City is prepared.

From reddit, 144° difference in perceived temperature. 🥵🥶

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
