@theathleticfc.bsky.social, this should be a bar graph. A line/step-line assumes that the previous observation affects the next. I don't think that's the case here. A bar graph, with shading to highlight the seasons with zero five-game win streaks, would explain the same point better. #dataviz

JUDGE: Counsel, your client understands his rights against self incrimination? ME: I know what I said. I know the price. I regret only that I have just this paltry offering for the cause of justice. PROSECUTOR: so you admit you posted "Ange Postecoglou did nothing wrong?" ME: Do your worst

D.C. United still fails to come up with something coherent. If the rebuild doesn't go anywhere, then it's not a rebuild.

I keep a Facebook for when I want to talk to conservatives publicly. Most of my family is conservative. It took me a while to process this but I think this is the nicest I can be.

Ragebait is not debate. Ragebait. is. not. debate.

I recently confused the definitions of empathy and sympathy. Empathy is being able to understabd how someone feels. Sympathy is feeling that way with them or validating those feelings. Important distinction. Earmarked for later.

I'm a fan of @thetransferflow.bsky.social, and maybe this is a tad unfair to a daily email newsletter. But there are plenty of things wrong with this viz: unnecessary secondary axis legend misplaced - eye jumps everywhere to line up colors no labeling of the "partial average" - is it moving?

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

Listening to Republicans blame echo chambers and call for calm to respect.. [checks notes] … a powerful conservative activist who engaged in bad faith discourse disguised as “debate,” egged on political violence and created echo chamber content of his own. You can’t make this up.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Here at the department of WAR we’re focused on LETHALITY and the WARRIOR ETHOS which is why we’re ignoring a conventional attack on a NATO member so we can drone strike boats in the Caribbean.

Do we have a news source on Russia attacking Poland? Initial research brings up nothing.

Caught my Metro home today behind a National Guatd detail. Guatdsman in front of me had a PATCH that read “IM HERE TO FREE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU” I had to ask him politely to stop blocking the escalator. You’ve been here over a month. You should know the uses of the Metro escalator.
