It's time for a #Measles dashboard update:

public.tableau.com/app/profile

The landing page now has a histogram AND a national map, capturing statewide totals. This is especially valuable since some states aren't including county data, or are including divisions like regions, which can't be captured on the cases-by-county map.

This project was constructed from local and state data first: I don't pull from CDC's national totals, but I do check my data against them frequently. Wherever local and state data aren't available, I use news articles. Every entry includes a source link in the cases-by-county table.

Here's my first contribution to the #30DayChartChallenge 2025. Horrifying statistics about misinformation! But also hot tips to cope!

Four in five of us (adults in Australia) reckon: "The spread of misinformation on social media needs to be addressed."

And that "People need to be taught how to identify misinformation."

So we're starting there! This is the SIFT method:

S: Stop. Don't read a post until you know where the info is coming from. And stop if you're overwhelmed.

I: Investigate the source. Maybe hover over their social media profile. See what Wikipedia says.

F: Find better coverage. Before sharing, check if other websites (reputable ones) say the same thing.

T: Trace claims, quotes, and media to the original context. Check the date. Try reverse image search to see where pics came from. Read full quotes, not just ragebait headlines.

Folks who #website: I'm trying to create a slice'n'dice-able #data #table -- somewhat like instances.vantage.sh/ with the per-column client-side search/constraint/etc. FWIW my data's a discrete JSON file.

I'm allergic to JavaScript insofar as I have zero idea what I'm doing with it (and *can't* do anything with it, myself) but will happily copy'n'paste it as needed.

Got any pointers? #websites #HTML #datadriven #javascript #js #webdev #WebDesign #WebDevelopment #dataviz

Mardi, les nouveaux députés sont entrés au Bundestag allemand. J'ai profité de cette occasion pour appliquer le principe de ma dataviz à d'autres pays en commençant par l'Allemagne. Le site est également désormais multilingue !

La question que je me pose est devrais-je remonter au delà de 1949 ? 1919 ? 1871 ?

En tout cas j'ai prévu de faire la RDA prochainement, sur une page à part.
