Hello Nature Valley packaging designer 👋 I see what you did there! 👍

Our Rowboat tool is about instantly seeing what's in a dataset, so we added a Chrome Extension that lets you open random datasets from all over the internet. Right click, poof! 0.2 seconds later we see what this dataset actually looks like. No workspace to set up, no waiting for the app, no db.

Do I know anyone here that is a small / medium data design agency, that is equally good with UI/UX, data storytelling (web based) and working within the constraints of ArcGIS Online + Story Maps? Maybe a stretch? 📊 🗺️

London creatives we want to hear from you! To make our city a great home for creatives we need to understand the picture. Help us map and understand where creative work is produced, made and manufactured by taking a short survey⬇️ 3mn9jevui5y.typeform.com/CIMSurvey2025

London is facing its 4th heatwave this year with temperatures expected to exceed 30°C this week. We’re installing water fountains, planting street trees to create shade and mapping cool spaces, but we need to plan for the future. ➡️ Share your ideas bit.ly/3Unbxv6

Why are we hooked on bad vibes when they don't reflect reality? I took a deep-dive into the data, in search of what is really going on. open.substack.com/pub/georgina...

Wonderful!!! Super useful! (Even works on my phone)

Who do UK folks trust to buy/manage domains these days? Thx

When people find out how little is spent on foreign aid, they're less likely to say that the US spends "too much". This might seem obvious, but many would argue that pointing to data or facts is never successful in changing peoples' minds.

I always find survey results like this staggering (almost to the point of unbelievability). The US was spending around 1% of its federal budget on foreign aid. The average guess among 1,000+ surveyed Americans was 26%. 15% thought it was over half of the budget (?!) www.kff.org/global-healt...

After 93 hours spread over 16 months, it’s finally finished. It measures 27 inches by 18 on white mount board. I’m getting it professionally scanned and giclée prints will be available in any size. If you are interested in a print, or know anyone that might be, please feel free to DM me. #lion

This is wonderful stuff! (Also love seeing the LDN Squared cartogram format being used in the wild)

Since you folks seem to like lengthy threads, let's look at visualizing distributions. I'll visualize one data set 16 ways and give some other examples of each chart type. #dataViz

The Guardian will publish scary headlines about ice sheet and AMOC collapse on a Friday, then stuff like this on a Monday: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... How are people supposed to navigate this? Is climate change an urgent problem, or not?

You mean the 'European-style "supplementary vote"' that was used for mayoral elections before the Conservatives changed it to FPTP in the (as it turned out, forlorn) hope that it might help them win lots more contests? That 'European style "supplementary vote"'?

Small but important project released by my team this week. The new (simplified) London Broadband Connectivity Map: apps.london.gov.uk/connectivity/ Click or search to find levels of availability and unavailability in your Postcode, Ward or Borough. #LDN @ldncdo.bsky.social @ldndata.bsky.social
