In the last year I switched teams from accellerationist leaders to cautious experimenters. The dissonance I felt in the jump between those teams and leaders was startling. The arms race forbids nuanced perspectives unfortunately.

Has someone done a good compendium of research on visual perceptions that are culturally dependent / vary clearly by culture in surprising ways? Would be useful for design. Fwiw nearly everything about understanding visualization is of course about aquired literacy. πŸ“Š

Frey should call it quits. He’s such a phony, lead no-one glad handing two faced dweeb. He’s had his chance and we’ve all seen him flounder.

Old dog looking into camera near a smoker grill and a garden shed. The sun shines hot around, but the shade of an umbrella makes it comfortable for the dog and his human alike.

Spending the day with the birds, this good boy, and trying my hand at smoking a Brisket for the first time. So far so good.

Honestly, Brave New World is a more apt comparison. Those in power treat everyone who sees the lies with honesty as savages, and the consumerists go along with it all like Epsilons.

The new villain is someone who thinks historic artifacts should be kept in a museum that is *gasp* open to the public.

Saw this really cool scatterplot grouping chart that showed companies ranking along many factors: innovation, work life balance, agility, pay, etc. it had Ford, google, Lockheed Martin, other Tech giants. I’m searching for it and coming up empty. Anyone else see it and could send it my way?

@figma.com I’m building charts in our library and I love Grid! Q: Since cells can’t have strokes, I need objects in the cells to add grid lines in X&Y axis charts like a scatterplot. But then the cells are occupied and chart marks don’t resize appropriately. What’s the fix?
