Rules for myself on starting again with Bluesky.
All tech is political. From energy, to silicon and software. You can’t escape it.
But. This is going to be a positive space for me and not a doomscroll replacement.
I’m very pessimistic about GenAI. Too much so… and so I’m going to not engage.

Colour mappings come from my {ggplot2wrapped} pkg I quickly re-utilised those for this post as I’m a busy self-employed woman
Accuracy of bars was less important than space filling 🍩 + fun 🎉

Can you guess which basic #dataviz errors this graphic features?
Why in the world wouldn't the colour mapping be the same across the four donuts?
And why not a 100% stacked bar chart instead of donuts?
Just like movies about making movies, data graphics about making data graphics are never good.

Merry December folks!
Wanna know your most used and co-dependent geoms this past year?!
I've built "Spotify Wrapped" for {ggplot2} that produces you an interactive story and analytical tools for your geom usage! #rstats

My carefully considered, nuanced and balanced policy view is that we should tax gambling profits, including sports betting, at like 98% and one executive's kidney per quarter.
I'm not sure having every UK mainstreet be three quarters Ladbrokes is good, actually.

The conversation about the NYC election is not actually about the NYC election. It’s about the vile and hated useless old guard Dem establishment finally being shown the door and the possibility of something new and better. A thing many, many people have been DESPERATE for.
The most popular candidate is a socialist in a time where fascism is sweeping the nation. He represents politics and policies that have felt completely impossible. And his wild popularity has inspired the country and created hope where none existed. That’s why.
Does the mayor of New York have access to nuclear weapons or something? Is there no council or anything to restrain them if they decide to go to war with Boston? Other than that or them gaining the keys to the portal to Hell via election, I'm not sure why this election is constantly everywhere.

This SNAP issue in the USA is insane.
40 million Americans rely on these payments to afford FOOD!
12% of the population.
That's 1 in 8 people.
In food poverty.
In by far the largest economy on Earth.
And Reform wants all of this for the UK, coupled with the expressed aim to privatise our NHS.
