  3. Alright I've setup a dedicated site to track the unnecessary police contact countless false calls have caused me.

    Today I pushed an update adding more infographics about the frequency of stops I've been subjected to for no good reason.

  17. “A simile is just a metaphor with the scaffolding still up”*…

    From the 1964 textbook Examine Your English

    Russell Samora has been fooling around with figures of speech; with his colleagues at The Pudding, he’s fielded a fascinating analysis of of that comparative workhorse, the simile…

    Similes are all around us. But, if you haven’t considered this figure of speech since grade school, here’s a refresher: similes compare a shared quality of two things, often using “like” or “as.”

    I pulled every simile in the form “as ___ as ___” from tens of thousands of fiction books for the top 500 most common adjectives… I thought it would be a trivial exercise, but the more I poked around, the more questions I had…

    Samora explains how similes are structured and how they are used (and with what relative frequency) in literature. He examines some of the most common– and several special cases (“The Ironic Ones”). And he explains his methodology and sources… all in the context of a lovely interactive data visualization.

    It’s as cool as hell: “Comparisons as Predictable as the Sunrise,” from @pudding.cool.

    As we agree with Steve Martin that “a day without sunshine is like, you know, night,” we might recall that it was on this date in 1789 that Richard Kirwan published his essay in support of the phlogiston theory (the belief, that dates to alchemical times, in the existence of a fire-like element (dubbed “phlogiston”) contained within combustible bodies and released during burning. Kirwan was among the last of its advocates.

    A well-regarded scientist in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Kirwan met and corresponded with Black, LavoisierPriestley, and Cavendish. Indeed, while scientific history remembers him as a defender of an incorrect theory, his work probably spurred Priestley and Lavoisier, who respectively discovered and named the actual elemental agent of combustion, oxygen.

    But Kirwan is also remembered for a personal eccentricity (one of many) that led to some referring to him (all too poignantly) as “crazy as a bed bug”: he hated bugs (especially flies). Kirwan paid his servants a bounty for each one they killed.

  20. Doug MacDowell spends 50 hours crafting a line graph 🎨📉, proving that with enough time and solitude, one can turn a simple data visualization into an epic saga of #procrastination and misplaced artistic ambition. 🤦‍♂️✨ Perhaps next time, he can tackle a pie chart in 100 hours or less! 🍰⏰

  22. I was just thinking about how the nature of an MMP government is determined not by the legacy party that leads is (who clearly both govern by focus group these days). But by the policy overlap between the parties making up the Confidence and Supply majority for it. Then it hit me;

    The way to model political space under proportional representation is not via venn diagrams, not the left-right continuum of the FPP era.

    Anybody come across attempts to model this?

  30. I planned to create the pH range animation in Manim, but once you've been holding a tool in your hand for several days, you really don't want to switch to another way of thinking for two animations.
    It was probably a bit slower in #Friction2D because of all the 'admin' with renaming and grouping that needs to be done there, while in Manim I'd largely reuse existing code, and all naming happens as I go. But of course, I'd need to render to see what I'm getting ;)

  32. work continues on my industrial ag mega-zine.

    while i was working on the "consequences of synthetic fertilizer" spreads (that's right, there will be *multiple*), i realized that i had a lot of text and not too many images.

    basically an entire spread is devoted to eutrophication and the gulf dead zone (because it's kind of a complicated subject), and i have plenty of images for that.

    but for some of the other stuff, i didn't. i know that people don't want to read too much, so after looking for a long time for appropriate images, i decided to.... make. an. infographic.

    that's right ladies and gentletheys, i have made an infographic for the first time in my life.

    the graphic shows the various uses of US corn production in percentages of total production. the data came from here: afdc.energy.gov/data/10340

    now, infographics are a touchy subject for me. it's extremely rare for me to see an infographic and think "wow, now i understand the subject better" instead of "wow, this was not helpful at all, and in fact i may be even more confused."

    a lot of infographics look nice if you sort of let your eyes unfocus and enjoy the visual element (and i respect the work it takes to do that!), but it's very rare to find an infographic that's both visually nice to look at and actually communicates something *without* being too heavy on the details (i know some people love the details, but i very quickly get visually overwhelmed when there are too many...i'm looking at you "national geographic").

    so, presented for your humble viewing, here is my first infographic, made with extreme reluctance, weirdly awkward because it had to fit into a particular space on the page, kind of crowded because i wanted it to be easily read by folks who might have trouble seeing stuff that's real small, and also i want it to communicate kind of a lot of information without getting overly-complicated.

    hooray for my first infographic, and if i ever have to make another one, may it be better.

    i hope you feel informed by it! i think this is valuable info to know: the vast majority of the #1 most-produced crop in the US does NOT go to feed people.
