If we could at least harness the power of racism to generate electricity - instead of AI doing the opposite (think about it, maybe sleep on it)

@datawrapper.de Looks like you've refreshed the UI! Very clean and nice, even if I have to re-capture some tutorials : D Question - is the gradient editor in the Choropleth map template... gone? Or does my browser cache need to get a thorough cleaning? Thanks!

Cascadia is really leaning into the name this week. Oof.
