How much does Congress talk about democracy? How often do they worry that democracy is eroding? @alv9n.com's latest project analyzes every congressional speech in the last 145 years.

For real, if you're on Bluesky and you are using Svelte (or are interested in getting started), you *need* to subscribe to @paolo.ricciuti.me's Svelte feed: bsky.app/profile/paol...

To me it's like there's a Svelte experience before Bluesky, and a totally different one after subscribing.

New 'Explore Explain' episode!

I chatted with award-winning Liuhuaying Yang from the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna about her unique data visualisation ‘Not My Name‘, which explores the process and components of translating Chinese names Pinyin.

I've been meaning to switch over to Bluesky for a while now. I've finally done it!

Realizing my first post ever was related to my work made me want to immediately follow up with one not about work.

So yeah, hi! Happy to be here! 👋

Ok whats the hottest new cool stuff in non-JS GIS/Spatial? Last time I got really excited was felt.com’s UX before they went 100% enterprise-pricing. Any cool QGIS plugins? Something more performant than rasterio? How is r-spatial::stars doing? Whom to follow?

📊 There are *so* many chart types out there. Which one should you use for what kind of data and goal?

I tried to answer the question in a new blog post (and poster!): www.datawrapper.de/blog/chart-t...
A poster showing icons for 40 different visualization types, categorized by goal – e.g. "showing shares" or "showing flows" or "showing developments over time".

What if you could search every visible word on New York City’s streets?

Well, thanks to the amazing folks at @puddingviz.bsky.social you now can!

A super interesting way to explore this mega city through a new data-driven lense.
