Phew. A bunch of reads from the @espn.com men's college hoops team this Friday, Feb. 21. 🧵 🏀 This Friday's Men's Bracketology is shiny and new. Less so? Kansas' seed hopes, which keep worsening. The Jayhawks have never gone worse than a 4-seed under Bill Self. www.espn.com/espn/feature...

Was on the phone with Mom when I looked up. The "Holy shit what?!" got me a LOOK at language and then a look of absolute disinterest when I explained #4 Alabama is down by double digits to #15 Missouri. No one in my family is remotely interested in how intense this sport can get 😂

Sleep deprivation and extended periods of stress can exacerbate memory issues. I also recommend auto-paying bills, buying essential items in bulk, Tile/Airtag trackers, simplifying routines, as well as setting timers for lamps and other electronics with smart outlets.

As part of this piece, I walk through 10 concrete examples of visualizing climate data and their pros and cons. Ultimately, visualization is an abstraction of some truth. A lot of bias gets introduced through that lens, so it's up to us to be thoughtful about which levers we can pull.

I wrote about why I see #dataviz as just as much an art as it is a science—and why I think that distinction matters. This has felt especially important to me lately as we teeter towards a post-truth world. I hope you find it interesting! perthirtysix.com/visualizing-data-is-an-art

This is a good reminder that there’s a Lamar University and a Drake University and they both play FCS football, but they haven’t met since 1980. That needs to change in 2025.

My 8th grade history teacher gave me an A- on an essay instead of an A because I misspelled Connecticut. Only mistake in the whole thing. It's haunted me ever since -- and I can't forget this even if I wanted to, since I now live in the damned state.
