Today I have the pleasure of teaching a #DataViz workshop at @unm.edu - this amazing 1986 Climate Map of the Earth is hanging on the wall in the room I'm teaching in. Of course I had to share! #MapsintheWild #GISChat

Can confirm. Close relative now furloughed under Commerce Department got the email. Quote "received this extremely inappropriate email blaming Dems...."

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

We are living in interesting times. History will not favor the fascists. It never has and never will. Yet the cycle continues. History favors the resistors. #resist

Judge William Young put this threatening note he received atop his opinion, in which he catalogs Trump administration actions meant to "terrorize Americans into quiescence.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

If the President of the United States can assemble all of his commanding officers and describe his plans for prosecuting a military conflict against US cities without drawing even an ATTEMPT to impeach him under the Constitution’s explicit definition of treason, the legislature are all oathbreakers.

No matter what ...

Trump became president, in large part, by using social media to inflame tensions and turn people against each other. Sending troops into cities is the physical equivalent of that strategy, with potentially deadly consequences. We cannot take the bait. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Jesus’ central command was to love. How exactly did Kirk love immigrants and people of color and women and Trans teens and Muslims and Democrats and atheists? Precisely what of his work and words made them feel more seen, heard, respected, valued? johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-shamef...

This is the only acceptable 3D pie chart. #DataViz #JustSayNoToPieCharts

I am soooo excited for this! #DataViz

My late husband was autistic. He was born 3 years before Tylenol was introduced. Now where were we? Oh. Yeah. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

This is one I can totally get behind. Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Snuggling with the hubby 2. Evening "wine walks" no matter where we are 3. The smell of nature after rainfall 4. The sound of my children's voices 5. Group hug with all my siblings

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Prepping for my hands-on #dataviz workshop is really stressing out my printer.

Send the cleanup bill to TPUSA. Filthy animals.

I know everything is stupid, but a day later and I'm still impressed at the gleeful public willingness to scream out "WE DON'T CARE IF OUR SIDE IS CRIMINALLY CORRUPT!"

New: I went on a months-long treasure hunt for 1,200+ books spanning 450+ years to digitize Daniel Updike’s Printing Types from 1922, detailing the history of printing and typography. Made a nifty poster too. Explore: www.c82.net/printing-types How it was made: www.c82.net/blog/?id=100

Love was changin' the mind of pretenders

Who needs streaming services when there are libraries (check out books, DVDs, CDs), community theaters, and the great outdoors to explore?

I'm not very popular.

The performative Conservative outpouring this week has nothing to do with their love for him and everything to do with their hatred of the people he hated.

THIS.

All up in arms over birth rates dropping and women getting abortions yet here they are killing children.

We're all just sitting here in the ashes of what once had all the promise of a great nation. RIP Democracy. @infinitescream.bsky.social

The story is not what Kimmel said but what others won’t say now for fear of state retribution. Authoritarian countries thrive on self censorship.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

et tu, Verizon?

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Whether it's private television companies or nonprofit organizations, any government attempt to pressure an organization or individual to stop its speech because of its viewpoint violates the First Amendment — and the highest court in our nation agrees.

@repgabevasquez.bsky.social Do it.

They had kids, too.

Individuals are being targeted on hit lists for their opinions. Private companies are being coerced into monitoring employee social media. They are weaponizing Charlie Kirk to curtail your free speech rights.

One thing you can always count on for post-conference surveys - people will always complain about the food. There is zero chance you will ever have zero complaints about the food served. There's just no way you can feed that many people at once and make them all happy.

The Wall Street Journal would be doing an important act of journalism in the aftermath of their irresponsible reporting to find out how exactly their sources "mistakenly" interpreted the ammunition to have trans-related symbols. Because I gotta be honest: I'm not buying that it was a mistake.
