Great piece of data journalism! Increasingly apparent that the public sector is turning more and more to the private sector for its algorithms, with a net decline in accountability. @edjnet.bsky.social Thanks for sharing @puntofisso.bsky.social www.europeandatajournalism.eu/cp_data_news...

Social media platforms change, but my yearly marrow pic is always a certainty. This is marrow 2025, not the best of years... #allotment

Love this piece by @puntofisso.bsky.social , especially his learnings around intersectionality and bias in the data. nightingaledvs.com/bus-station-...
