I came across a 1939 book of data visualizations — more than 500 pages! — and it is just terrific. Free to read:
How To Read This Chart: The most amazing collection of charts I’ve ever seen.
Plus, the GOP tries to chart some cash out of your pockets.

“On Photography” is my favorite Sontag work, and is fascinating to read today in the context of modern photography. “What does a photo actually represent” has never been a straightforward question.
the degree to which phone cameras are producing images via computing/ML rather than just capturing pixels on a sensor -- even if you don't do any editing or turn on the fancy "use the best version" settings -- is I think generally underappreciated

'Now Breezing' reports that for ten minutes during our first Digital Platforms class of the semester, the #digiplat hashtag that students use to create introductory posts was one of the top ten most used hashtags on bluesky!
Clearly hashtags aren't common on bsky right now-- but still 👍 #digiplat!

Nearly 90 years since Benjamin pondered the meaning of art in the age of mechanical reproduction, Mireille Silcoff despairs fading auras of subcultures in the age of TikTok aesthetics. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/21/m...? Worth reading for learning about 'tomato girl summer' and "super cottage core".

In 2024, our Digital Platforms class is experimenting with Bluesky. It's a lot quieter than other platforms right now, which is actually nice! I'll repost some of the best student content, and am interested to see what everyone comes up with!... ✍️ #digiplat
