Fascinating graph that I’ve never seen before - govt spending vs tax for age groups from the FT
Britain’s tax and spend dilemma Some excellent graphical analysis from the FT as part of the wider conundrum facing the country with a rapidly growing ageing population. Accompanying the news that “the UK’s public debt burden has surged faster than that of any other big advanced economy since the eve of the Covid-19 pandemic, helping drive up interest payments and limiting the country’s capacity to spend more on defence and care for an ageing population”. As of last year, more tax revenue was spent on servicing government debt than on education.

I'm always amazed when I look at just how fast coal use has dropped in the US

It's a huge victory not just for climate but also for reductions in mercury, arsenic, and air pollution

So many people will live longer healthier lives because coal use has dropped so much and I love it

Many infectious diseases are so rare today that it is easy to forget how very common they were before the introduction of vaccines.

My chart presents an overview of the change in the US.

This is crazy, the total website visits to bluesky exceeded threads despite threads having over ten times the user base.
This chart shows daily U.S. website visits for Bluesky and Threads, indicating a notable surge in visits to Bluesky's website starting in October 2024. Bluesky's visits (blue line) steadily increased until October and then spiked sharply, surpassing 1.2 million visits. In contrast, Threads (orange line) showed consistent fluctuations but did not experience a similar surge. This data excludes mobile app users and highlights web traffic trends based on SimilarWeb's analysis.

A friendly reminder that we all thought the 2016 election would be a no-brainer. If you're registed, please, don't listen to the polls, don't assume - vote.
screenshot from the 2016 US presidential election results showing that 46.9% of registed voters didn't vote.

This chart by Mona Chalabi is on my mind today.
Average voters wait times. White: about 12.5 minutes Native Americans: About 13 minutes. Asian Americans: About 15 minutes Latinos:About 18.5 minutes. African Americans: About 22.5 minutes. The chart is hand drawn and the maximum scale is 15 minutes, so long times are shown in a u-turn at the end of which there is a woman standing.
