This new EU report Education and Training Monitor 2025 is begging for dot plots, page after page, and no one paid attention. Such a lost opportunity. Here is a quick redesign of one page.

Sadly, I'm not a pijama-all-day kind of person. Today looks perfect for that. But I'll have lots of tea.

There is a traditional "Silver Road" to the Spanish side of the PT-ES border. There is also a "Silver Road" along the same path but defined by hair color: it's the area with the highest percentage of 65+ people in the peninsula.

O evaristo.ai está muito melhor. Já sabe descrever a bandeira de Portugal e como se vai de Lisboa a Cascais. Ainda tropeça na agitação marítima de Beja. cc @vost.pt

Yes, you can choose a dif order, it depends on how you want to present and interpret the data. In this case, "this is the current ranking, here are the changes". A scatter solves the annoyance of having to choose an order. For now I just wanted to sell the idea that a dot plot is better than this...

You have to analyse data fairly well (if you did it really well, you’d be a statistician). It’s perfect for someone like me. 2/2

Well, don't know if you can recognize Denmark @miskaknapek.bsky.social :) (I'm using grid codes that behave better with a nice rectangle like PT, and I'm too lazy, I mean busy, to make manual adjustments). Apparently the increase in GDD is in east Jylland. Does it make sense?

Famous scene in Portuguese movie: the woman, a data analyst, asks for some data. The man at the statistics office says they don't have it. Then I want a basket of unsupported opinions, she says. This repeats in loop.
(OK, it's snacks, not data, and a glass of wine, not a basket of opinions.)

Too bad this list:

Known unknowns;

Excluded the bureaucratic one:

E.g., EU institutions know this is a bad #datavis practice (told multiple times, and repeated this week by @albertocairo.com, btw). But this known is still unknown to the Eurostat.

A nice 100km bike ride. I considered taking the bus home when I was at the peak but decided against it. It seemed too much for a self deprecating joke.
