🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Incredible piece by Nathan. We need more of this. The rebellious "We must go on the offense" message is key #dataViz

We are looking at you to give us a bit of hope. The populace is frightened, and all the adults seem to have left the room so we have to fend for ourselves. These are scary times and we need reassurance. Will anyone deliver??

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

Why is it so difficult to "lock" a layer, and actually lock it in Tableau? And why can't I tell Tableau to please don't remove the counties just because the county doesn't have data in it? And why can't I get rid of the stupid Null values? #Tableau #ilovehateTableau #vizzes #visualization #datafam

Do we seriously have to be concerned not only from a lunatic, but we also have to contend with a ruthlessly evil Lex Luthor as a hunchman? There is just no amount of any substance or alcohol to get me through the next four years!

That's my spouse. Every. Single. Time. It's either that or "buddy, you're too far away from home! Is that how they drive in your state?"

Happy Winter Solstice! These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure. Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice. The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

How on earth are we expected to live here with the terrifying incoming administration? I don't want to live in a country with Trump as president and freaking Elon Musk as the puppeteer. I'm truly terrified.

I genuinely don't know how we're going to survive the next four years. www.cnn.com/2024/11/11/h...

When I first joined bluesky this morning, I came across a post in five parts that was a welcome pack, that had excellent recommendations on words to mute, people to block, etc. I can't find that post anymore. I would definitely appreciate any recommendations on turning down some of the noise.

Science friends in the U.S.: we have two months to make sure data, code, and websites are saved somewhere securely. This isn't going to be pretty.

I spent years trying to manage my anxiety. This election undid all that. I am truly scared for the first time in my life... and I grew up in a war zone. This is so much worse.
