Who can be the biggest Arsehole on Arsehole Media, driving Arsehole SUVs, voting for Arsehole Politicians and their Arsehole Wars.
It truly is "The Age of The Arsehole", and I'm so tired of it. 😔
Really cool interactive from @alv9n.com (altho sans purple palette) pudding.cool/2026/02/happ...
This actually really nagged at me, not so much on its own, but in concert with something that's started happening to my son at school.
I started to write up my feelings as a thread, but then it turned into a full-fledged blog post.

Good demo here from Clara about why editorial framing decisions in chart design matters so much. Both chart date ranges are legitimate choices to make, both truthful, each show different story.

Perhaps 'Sean Bean' could buy one? 😉
A headline from the Guardian with a picture of newly elected green MP Hannah Spencer. The headline reads, "Labour MPs demand Starmer change course after humiliating by-election loss"
People voted for Labour in the general election because they wanted grown ups in charge who would stand up to Nigel. We didn't get that.
The Greens offer a hopeful, inclusive, fair and sustainable future.
Labour could also offer that. So why don't they? Get on with it! We don't have much time!
Literally, life changing technology!! Thank you Mike Bostock!! @ocks.org 🎂
Very nice new direction!

Hand-plotted on the Silver Reed SR-100.
I like the composition on the light paper, but always prefer the white on black aesthetic.
Banner for episode
Coming v soon... my new episode with @nrennie.bsky.social and @ansgarw.bsky.social to explore some of their work as part of the 2025 #30DayMapChallenge
