Dishonest charts are coming from all directions, and they're only going to hit harder. Unless we push back. So, an interactive guide: Defense Against Dishonest Charts flowingdata.com/projects/dis...

Your map’s legend can be turned into a histogram, helping your audience understand the distribution in addition to decoding the colours.

Calling the #datafam to the rescue! 📊 I'm looking for examples of #dataviz presented in a video format. Long, short, with voiceover or a presenter: anything that doesnt require interaction, just to watch. Got any favourites to share? 🙌 #DataVisualization #VisualStorytelling #DataVizInspiration

Coal is nearing its end in the EU electricity mix 📉 10 countries were already coal-free and a further 6 countries had less than 5% coal power in 2024. Even Poland – the EU’s most coal-dependent country – saw coal power fall to 54% in 2024, down from 70% just 2 years ago. ember-energy.org/lat...

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can. #InducedDemand

🎉 It is our birthday! On this day in 2001, Wikipedia was launched. Over two decades later, it has become one of the largest and most trusted sources of knowledge on the internet, with 63+ million articles in 300+ languages. Read all about the history of Wikipedia ➡️ w.wiki/KYn

I’m working on updates the Capitol Riot Map—an interactive visualization of the more than 1,500 individuals connected to January 6th. I’ve spent more than 3-years and devoted hundreds of hours to this project, and there’s still more work to be done. Details on how to support this project below👇🏼

What better way to spend the holidays than making #maps? Here bauhaus inspired grid map of europe, each country coloured by the first letter of their ISO name. 🔵🟢🟡 Little puzzle to figure out the grid 😅 Initial map made in #python then Figma to edit, code github.com/Lisa-Ho/smal... #dataviz

Nice looking graph from @financialtimes.com: “Never ever make predictions” Implied rates forecasts over time, and what rates have actually done:

Ever wanted to waste infinity hours doing tile puzzles of every place in the world? Well, now you can with #AnyMapPuzzle You can play for free, forever (literally), at bothness.github.io/anymap

I drew these for the #datafam holiday card exchange, but figured I'd share them for others to use too! Put them on your cards, gift tags, or anywhere that needs a little more #dataviz 📊

Last October I finished implementing the classic 15 puzzle game but using the standard @openstreetmap.bsky.social tiles as the sliding pieces! 🗺️🧩 Currently you can play any of 20 map locations. Enjoy! 🎉 seav.github.io/osm-15-puzzle/

Climate data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social shows, it is virtual certainty that 2024 will be the warmest year on record and the first calendar year above 1.5°C. This does not mean the Paris Agreement has been breached, it means ambitious #climateaction is more urgent than ever 🧪⚒️🌏🌡️📈

I don’t have Spotify, but I use Strava. So I created my personal Year in Sports Wrapped 🚴 📊 Got Strava and want your own? No problem, I turned it into an app year-in-sports.streamlit.app Made in #python using #streamlit + #matplotlib, full code: github.com/Lisa-Ho/year...

📊 Guess who's back, back again 🎶 We're the 1st of December and the data riddle advent calendar is back, baby ! One riddle every day !

I recently moved house, so I didn’t have time for #30DayMapChallenge. Now that I’m getting settled, I want to start exploring my new area and get back to mapping. Here's belated Day 1 Points with council maintained trees in Abbey Wood, London. 🌳 🗺️ Made in #python, code: github.com/Lisa-Ho/30-d...

#30DayMapChallenge Day 6: Raster I like grid maps for mapping tasks where landmass is not of primary importance. And a gridmap is just a coarse raster. Here are C0₂ emissions since 1800. See observablehq.com/@jwolondon/t... for an interactive animated version to see trends over time and space.

Yay, November means #30DayMapChallenge. Sadly I won't be able to take part this year, but I can't wait to get inspired by all the amazing contributions. If you're into #maps and #dataviz, this is the best time of year! 🗺️📊🤩

Thread on charts for mobile phones 🤳 📊 I'm sharing a few tips from a recent project where we adapted our own charts, initially designed for a US letter sized report. This is the cover page of the PDF report (the title was our suggestion 🖋️). 1/🧵

Great piece of work in The Economist looking at how heavier cars are far more likely to kill other people. These issues require regulation imo, as the market will only push people towards increasingly heavier cars to 'protect' themselves www.economist.com/interactive/...

Contender for favorite chart of all time: Predictions vs. Reality for solar energy.

This is very accurate

At PC Gamer we've been talking about how to convey the scale of 16,000+ game devs being laid off in a year, without forgetting that number represents individual people with their own stories. This is our first attempt: 16,000 dots, alongside voices of those affected. www.pcgamer.com/the-impact-o...

🎉🎉🎉 Big news: You can now create small multiple line charts with our new chart type “Multiple Lines”! Give each line its own panel, then sort, style, annotate, show lines on independent scales, and more. 📊 See what’s possible in our announcement post: blog.datawrapper.de/small-multip...

Possibly a smidgen late but no point posting when everyone's off their socials. But you're back at work right? And you need a distraction? So...my favourite maps of 2023 for your procrastination (and inspiration) cartoblography.com/2024/01/02/f...

How to report on deadly bike accidents without just showing hard stats? This is how we connected an individual case with the lives lost in 2022 and the overall trend. #dataviz (it's animated, but there are still no videos or gifs on Bluesky)
