Recently found this IBCS-inspired chart on LinkedIn, which was presented as the final stage in a makeover. I felt that there were still improvements to be made, though. Agree? Disagree?

interesting approach idea from Nick Desbarats's "Practical Charts" book for dealing with values in a chart: adding the table below the chart. 💡 make sure you align the values in the table with the ones in the chart ✌️

How many slices can you put in a pie chart? Two? Three? Six? Opinions vary on this question, and my answer in this 8-minute video might surprise you (could a 30-slice pie chart actually work?) youtu.be/8yLvfYzwwcg?si…

If you follow me here, you know that I abandoned Twitter months ago because it's a propaganda vehicle now, not a social network. I've decided to log back in occasionally, but only to amplify voices that oppose Musk/Trump. I won't be posting dataviz content. Just FYI.

How is Poilievre even allowed to be an MP, much less leader of the opposition, if he refuses a standard background security check? Clearly, there's something serious he doesn't want us to know. This should be a huge red flag for every Cdn voter. globalnews.ca/news/10989610/…

FFS. Just got another cheque from DoFo. On Ontario election day. How is it legal for a party in power to use taxpayer money to bribe voters like this? Donating it to orgs that will get corrupt politicians like Doug Ford out of power.
