PHENOMENAL dataviz howto thread with lots of lovely examples.

Love this. Similarly, in the last Secret Santa I took part in, the rule was the presents had to be either home-made or from a charity shop. All the presents were lovely and extremely well thought-out to suit the recipient - no tat in sight!

French onion ramen, an absurdly rude recipe from Tim Anderson's Vegan JapanEasy. We swapped out spinach, cabbage and bamboo shoots for what we had to hand - rocket, green beans and carrot. Also kept in the mushrooms from making the dashi.
Marvellous with a glass of red.

The power of visualisation. What jumped out at me was that almost all of these cities are in the same band of latitude - only London and Lagos are outliers. Which immediately suggest climate factors underlying cities being able to support large numbers of people. 📊
These cities all can claim that they were the world's largest city at some point in the last 4000 years. This is from a project I've done a decade ago based on one dataset. Historical demography is tricky and the margin or error in estimating historic city sizes is quite large.
