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...

Who's looking for a brilliant developer? Our fantastic apprentice @halimahexe.bsky.social is leaving our #dataviz team soon 😢 and is on the job market! (We would 100% keep them if we could). They've helped us build so many brilliant things over the past 2 years, like apps.london.gov.uk/connectivity/

I recreated Dubois' plate 02 with D3.js in an Observable notebook 🗺️ Starting to enjoy the Canvas API, look, I learned to make patterns ☺️ #duboischallenge2026 #dataviz #sciart

A quick update to ziptbl.com: you can now open shared data directly in @datawrapper.de! The video shows the full flow: load data into Ziptable > share the link > create a 📊 in Datawrapper As always: the data stays off any servers until you send it to Datawrapper - it's just compressed in the url

Recently I took a step back to reflect thoroughly on my freelance work until now. I especially love collaborating with agencies and other freelancers on creating custom, interactive data viz ✨ In the process, I redid my whole website & branding 😅 Finally live: www.kristin-baumann.com #dataviz

Sometimes 3D #dataviz is just the way to go 🤠 I created this illustration for @sciam.bsky.social December '25 issue on rare earth elements and how much of it is estimably left. Comparing the already produced with how much is in reserve. As always great to be working with @jenchristiansen.com

maybe an outlier but trend is ouch

Emily Gregory had to sue to get this election even scheduled And Trump did vote - by mail apnews.com/article/dona...

What's the best explainer or resource you've seen around the SAVE Act?

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

Many asking what’s on that one officer’s butt. I do not have that information at this time.

Breaking News: The Supreme Court appears poised to reject a Mississippi state law on late-arriving mail-in ballots, a decision that could upend voting and have sweeping consequences in the midterm elections.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

There are lots of weird tradeoffs when it comes to storing raw data vs. curated/transformed data. The first one is: where is your compute? How far up the stack are you willing to push it? If it's telemetry, do you make the generator do its own data validation, and what is the computational cost?

“Anti-abortion extremists thought, ‘we’re going to overturn Roe, we’re going to ban abortion, we’re going to trap people [where they live], & they’re not going to get care. Because of shield laws & telehealth providers, that’s not the case—& they’re furious.” @byninamartin.bsky.social reports:

I really, really need academic organizations to think more critically about travel (conferences, talks, and meetings) during the Trump administration. Sadly, most are not.

I don't mean this to sound insensitive at ALL but it's not lost on me that schools and holidays and whatever else are immediately being renamed due to new info about Cesar Chavez While white men with accusations like of heinous crimes get to keep their jobs AS PRESIDENT

Unlike information obtained from cellphone providers, this data can be accessed without a warrant — and used to track anyone.

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

Fetterman lied.

This is obviously the story of the night. I was shocked by how little attention this race got comparatively. Stratton called for abolishing ICE, a $25 minimum wage, and Medicare for All while her opponent was funded by AIPAC and ICE contractors. And she's going to be a Senator!

Survey people! Is there any work on non-response rates over time? I'm trying to contextualize some numbers that we report -- we have a response rate of 70% in 2010; 75% in 2015; 61% in 2023. My intuition is that that's fairly high (due to the setting), and that some decline would be expected.>
