Glad I got to be a guest of a friend that had worked in the White House and got to watch a so-so Magic show at the Kennedy Center before whatever this is occurs.
Pictured here, the mini-fridge, complete with Joe Biden branded kisses.

Some regions have increased their rates, most notably in Maine which newly gained herd immune levels. But yikes at the sea of declines.
Even in cities where individual schools have seen gains, they're offset by more consistent drops.

In 2019 I put together a similar project at WSJ, would not have guessed how much worse the problem would get in such a short amount of time.
Am immensely grateful to the data team at the Post who took on the herculean effort of badgering each state for their data.

As vaccination has become a political hot potato, the already patchwork of counties & schools meeting herd immunity standards has fallen further.

While in college, during a long weekend hang, myself and buds had the bright idea to improvise a recipe for 'beer pancakes' using Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss.
Every time Bari pops in the news I get flashbacks to those, the worst pancakes I've ever eaten.

Current workflow is simplified svg -> import to Blender as curves -> convert to mesh -> weep at what Blender's doing to my boys

Folks who've gone from detailed GIS files to Blender... how on earth do you prep an svg so it can actually become a usable polygon and not a mesh of pain

For my own part, proudly sported an old Isle Royale shirt all today. Granted it's only tangentially related from it's shared home in the great lake.

Was just in Louisville and loved seeing all the painted signage downtown. The personality! How well each fits each of the surfaces!

Highs and lows. Iggy Pop should have had a secondary career as a character actor, Jafar Panahi is a powerhouse director, horror movies should take more risks.

Strong kinship with the commercially-minded but shotgun approach these artists are taking. OWL FRAME! Hot date with a pumpkin man! An army of pumpkin children will march towards your daughters in space!

Been mildly surprised how few books there are collecting the best of em'. Found this one awhile ago and it's full of all sorts of incredible 1900 versions of the selfie setup and whimsy. Maybe I'm just googling wrong.

Just gotta be extra sensitive to hue, saturation, and tone. Work backwards from saturation/darkness = more. Color Oracle is a blessing here, giving a b/w view that better reveals how close the values actually are.

Feel like I picked this up from Laris Karklis (one of his maps shown here), but I get a sense data viz overcorrected on avoiding rainbow gradients. Particularly for one-offs, you can use a surprising # of colors! Here the extremes pop way better than if it was just light blue -> dark blue.

Spent this morning making a gradient for a map showing Hurricane Melissa's forecast rainfall, pretty chuffed with how it turned out.
