The State of London - Social justice Looking at the relative poverty measure with the threshold of 50% of the national median, it can be seen that around 1 in 5 Londoners (19%) are in this deeper form of poverty, roughly 1.7 million Londoners. #StateOfLDN data.london.gov.uk/dataset/stat...

The State of London - Economy London’s economic growth recovered strongly post-COVID, with growth rates of 7.7% in 2021 and 8.1% in 2022. Growth slowed to 0.3% in 2023, with a projected increase of 1.1% in 2024, slightly above the UK's growth rate. #StateOfLDN data.london.gov.uk/dataset/stat...

Our next meetup is in just a week 💙💚💛 We will be exploring all the different ways you can make GSAP @gsap-greensock.bsky.social work for your websites, including animating sketches in p5 or Canvas. Bring your own work, we'll try to animate it! 🗓️ Sat 7 June, 2pm~ 📍The Cave, LDN 🎫 lu.ma/ugcoydkj

Took the day off.. bought a new book.

Rich Harris' talk from this month's Svelte Summit is now freely available on our YouTube channel. The other videos will follow: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dAT...

This is a nice practical guide to data visualization by @nrennie.bsky.social @royalstatsoc.bsky.social! royal-statistical-society.github.io/datavisguide/

I’ve quietly been working on 13 Quilts. All designed by original generative code I began using 13 years ago in collab with @praystation. I’ve always loved that the computer is like, “Surprise! Here’s some crazy shit I came up with. Now figure out how to make it real.” Exhibit in France this Fall.

Well done, Axios. #dataviz

🗺️ If you’re a map enthusiast, be sure to read this week’s Data Vis Dispatch! You’ll also find charts on government spending, measles, and the Arctic. 🐻‍❄️🧊 www.datawrapper.de/blog/data-vi...

Great job! Great people! 👇

Have you ever wished the browser would look at a background color and pick black or white for the text — whichever one provides more contrast? Now, the `constrast-color()` function in CSS does just that. webkit.org/blog/16929/c...

Ever wondered why some charts are more effective and engaging than others? I’ll be going through all the theory, evidence and principles behind compelling data storytelling from this Wednesday. Free to watch for anyone who is interested: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-fundam...

"Hard Times Furious Dancing". Brilliant night with @snappedankles.bsky.social last night!! 🔥🔥🔥

So @driven-by-data.net just launched SveltePlot, which merges my 2 fav things in #DataViz: Svelte and the Grammar of Graphics. 100% going to use this! Site: svelteplot.dev Gregor's slides: www.vis4.net/slides/svelt... #SvelteSummit

Ridiculous situation on Vimeo this week. I have a video that uses a stock library loop as backing music. A record by some random on the internet, uses the exact same loop... I have to take down my video because it infringes their copyright?! WTF! It's a stock library loop! Stoopid algorithms! #Vimeo

📣 Ok, let's reveal another speaker: @chrisgannon.bsky.social is making one of his rare speaking appearances at @pixelpioneers.co on 20 June! He'll share how to create animations in 2D and 3D with and without code. 🎟️ Check out the talk description & get your ticket: pixelpioneers.co/events/brist...
