I really beg datavis researchers to start engaging with this. The role of the chart here is to provide a cover of objectivity. It’s reifying the entire fucking opinion section into a 2d space to lens it some Cartesian legitimacy or something equally dark. So, so gross.

From @kanarinka.bsky.social in the MIT faculty newsletter: fnl.mit.edu/january-febr... I hope that all academics understand this threat for what it is. It is as existential as the federal research budget cuts, and also much deeper and more important than that.

In art and literature, "criticism" doesn't mean "pointing out flaws." It's something bigger and more interesting than a referee calling fouls. I think we should have the same ambitions for data visualization criticism!

I appreciate much of the analysis I’ve seen over the last couple days. I don’t think we can talk about what is sick in politics or media (a lot!) w/o looking directly at billionaires, refusing to shut up about billionaires, and coming for billionaires through policies that chisel away at their power
