Happy #SummerSolstice! It is the longest day or days of the year! It is still hard to believe there are places on earth where the sun doesn't set AT LEAST a month from now. 🤯 Available as a print! antonioantoine.com/product/the-... #cartography

went to see Pressure at the movies, sometimes it’s just Nice to watch a person be Good At Their Job™. Didn’t go for the data angle but it was really satisfying watching Andrew Scott (quiet and collected for the entire film) absolutely yell at someone for cherry picking stats to fit a narrative.

imagine spending time creating a map for wikipedia and it ends up in the article for chartjunk

This is Baby. She is celebrating her first ever International Corgi Day today. Personally thinks she should be celebrated every day, but this is a good start. 14/10 (IG: cooperandbaby_corgi)

I'm thrilled to announce that I will soon be an author! My book, The Twin Cities in 50 Maps, is a cartographic portrait of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The book includes 50 painstakingly designed maps and deeply researched essays that trace the Cities' urbanity, history, ecology, and culture.

I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.

I'll never say the fitbit originals were _great_ but the new google health update is a data viz nightmare (and the bottom half isn't customizable at all, once you dismiss the AI 'insights' it's just a blank half of the screen) gizmodo.com/google-is-in...

I love the library and I love data, so when I found a super clean dataset about Seattle Public Library circulation, I went data spelunking hoping I'd yield fun facts to share at parties. Turns out, it was just the beginning of a rabbit hole into a larger cultural shift in how we consume books. 1/

BIG NEWS in the Open Visualization Academy: openvisualizationacademy.beehiiv.com/p/data-femin... We're launching 'Data Feminism for Data Visualization' by @laurenfklein.bsky.social and @kanarinka.bsky.social #dataViz #infographics #dataVisualization #dataJournalism

Updating stereotypes about Bluesky one screenshot at a time. Maybe it is a selection bias of the users who chose to use For You, but politics has been getting less prevalent in For You than before.

This post is an absolute banger.

I guess in my mind I theoretically knew that the guy from the small domino meme probably toppled the dominoes at some point but I'm still a little shocked to see the GIF of it actually happening

well done william

I always think "If someone shouted this at me on the street would I respond or pretend they're a ghost?" and if the answer is ghost then I don't reply

I subscribed during last year's sale right after moving to the Twin Cities. Racket has been invaluable to me for what's going on around town--it's got everything. Local politics, events, the best budget bites for lunch - $25 for a full year is a steal to support local journalism!

why do all the apps now have to act like the creepy guy who interrupts you at the library to ask you what you’re reading, who wants this

It's the return of the Largest Cat.

Thread. I've found Bluesky engaging, fun and *alive* since the first day I got here, in part because I went out of my way to engage with it, not just expect some algorithm to platform what I do. Also because, fundamentally, I'm here to be social, not just to market, and that has a long-term effect.

A propos of nothing, I wrote about my secret love for Trader Joe's parking lots. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Kennedy: “Polling is fundamentally about humans – what they’re thinking and experiencing. Polls give the public a voice in politics, business and other areas...If we stop polling people and just assume AI knows the answer, we risk misunderstanding what’s actually happening in the public.”

Wonderful, enraging post by Ana about experiences many of us have had. The only “woman in tech” talk I want to attend at this point is one where a man tells his fellow men to do the bare minimum & be a decent human being. And then follows up by actively calling out the shitty behavior as it happens

Yo, anyone want to be a Bird Identification Machine Learning Software Engineer for the wonderful Cornell Lab of Ornithology, home of the Merlin app?!? It’s remote! I do not have these skills but maybe you do! #jobs jobs.hr.cornell.edu/us/en/job/WD...

I’d add words of wisdom from my stepmother—“A hobby is something you spend money on. If you make money on it, it’s a job and you’ll eventually need a new hobby.”

I think more of us have discovered the limits to the "we can just do things" slogan today. There are many reasons to ask, and to engage socially, and to have care and intentionality, and to do things right, do things better. We don't have to live like this.
