The eplusm scale is an interesting take on the old log-scale chestnut. It is logarithmic for the landmark steps (1, 10, 100), but linear in between. Crazy idea, but according to user studies, it seems to work pretty well in some settings! github.com/jdfekete/d3-...

We have had surveys that have shown us exactly this in the UK, France, the EU etc for many years
What we need to ask ourselves is why have journalists, politicians, academics etc chosen to focus on surveys that hype immigration
This is what I explore here:

What a packed event last night—about 70 people joined for inputs and discussions on ‘visualising data’.
First, we heard from @moritzstefaner.bsky.social about his work for @diplo.de and @bmg-bund.bsky.social.
Then, Thanh Thu Nguyen presented her work at @udkberlin.bsky.social on facial recognition.
