Here’s a full draft of the upcoming second edition of my “Data Visualization: A Practical Introduction”: socviz.co
Every couple of months or so, someone puts out a piece of bad social science meant to undermine the case for more housing. For Roosevelt Institute, I wrote a blog post responding to the two most recent specimens. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/there-i...
Great list! One more thing I’d add here is Heat Wave by Eric Klinenberg, which examines the response to the 1995 heatwave as a way of talking about a bunch of intersecting problems of urban life. I think it also contextualize a how the city response to natural disasters now.
NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.
On seeking data about immigration enforcement in the US: "Every records request should start with reporting", Will Craft from the Guardian tells #NICAR26. Know what you should ask for, he advised. "You have to be very very very precise." In other words: Do a lot of work prior to filing a FOIA.
some lighthearted election news from MI: the "I Voted" sticker contest is back! Will anything top the werewolf of '24, though? www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...

RETVRN guy but for all the websites looking like this
In her review of Piketty, McCloskey points out that the Latin root of data is "things given," but that the documentation Piketty is working with, primarily tax records, is more accurately a reflection of "things seized." That is, not data, but capta. I want to détourné McCloskey's point to argue that capta is the appropriate title for the currencies of technofeudalism.? It is an economy which is growing increasingly inefficient, coercive, and authoritarian because the economic process it glorifies is not one of mutual consent to market exchange, but of non-consensual seizure of attention, identity, and future potential.
I’ve been trying to use capta consistently, where appropriate, and have been pleased to find, for many, no explanation is needed. It is very intuitive, as disciplinary jargon should be.

this is going to be the biggest but most ignored story of the year. the implications of this and the responsibilities it calls up in transfeminists, the responsibility to organize directly to put a stop to this by force, can't go ignored any longer

California’s housing market is officially a landed gentry system. 🏠
New data from the Wall Street Journal: 1 in 5 of CA home transfers are now inheritances—double the US average.
Does CA need to end Prop 13 to save the American Dream? 🧵👇
This guy in Grand Rapids, Michigan created a community center that's just a hangout zone with gathering spaces and an informal library and crafting tables and a little gym area—a true "third place"
Imagining a world with more of these and I genuinely think it'd have a million downstream benefits
