📊 There are *so* many chart types out there. Which one should you use for what kind of data and goal?

I tried to answer the question in a new blog post (and poster!): www.datawrapper.de/blog/chart-t...
A poster showing icons for 40 different visualization types, categorized by goal – e.g. "showing shares" or "showing flows" or "showing developments over time".

NEW 🧵

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:

1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.

These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

I've been using S7 in elmer (elmer.tidyverse.org) and it's been a lot of fun. Takes a little bit of getting used to (mainly unlearning old S3 habits) but it's evolving rapidly and the rough edges are quickly getting smoothed down.

Tools such as GPTZero and TurnItIn’s AI detection claim that they can determine (with varying levels of accuracy) whether a student’s writing was likely to have been created by a generative AI tool. But these tools are so inaccurate as to be dangerous.
To Best Serve Students, Schools Shouldn’t Try to Block Generative AI,
Generative AI gained widespread attention earlier this year, but one group has had to reckon with it more quickly than most: educators. Teachers and school administrators have struggled with two big
