Datavis, infographics, journalism, art. Safety/danger iconography and protest signs are my Pokémon Go. Skeptical about it, probably. Support your local 📰, damn it.

In 2024 I investigated many similar accounts that posted very similar types of content, claiming to be ‘Trump supporting women’ from the US, but they were fake accounts using images stolen from European influencers.

The findings were reported here 👇 edition.cnn.com/2024/08/28/e...
Stolen photos of European influencers used to push Trump propaganda on X | CNN
A phony campaign on X backing Trump ahead of the US election is using stolen or manipulated photos of real women in Europe to push its agenda.

In email announcing new schedule for some data delayed by shutdown, BEA says some more statistics are being discontinued. These data relate to foreign investment in the US -- which Trump loves to claim he's boosting.
Schedule Update and Changes to Activities of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign MNEs SUITLAND, Md. – “Activities of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign Multinational Enterprises, 2023” will now be released Dec. 5 at 8:30 a.m. Before the government shutdown, these data were scheduled for release on Nov. 21. All data previously planned for this release will be published as tables on BEA’s website, not in the body of the news release, which will be abridged. As part of BEA’s ongoing streamlining initiatives, some data tables previously produced alongside the news release will be discontinued on Dec. 5: BEA is discontinuing annual statistics on U.S. affiliates with 50 percent or less foreign ownership. BEA plans to publish these statistics in benchmark publications (occurring every five years), beginning with the 2022 revised data being published Dec. 5. BEA will discontinue benchmark statistics that provide supplemental trade and research and development data, beginning with the 2022 revised data. In addition, seven tables that provide supplemental industry statistics will be discontinued, beginning with the 2023 preliminary data. The full list of discontinued and impacted tables related to U.S. affiliates of foreign multinationals will be posted on BEA’s website on Dec. 5. Discontinued tables will be archived. BEA’s post-shutdown economic release schedule will continue to be updated as information becomes available.

with one of the most incredible kickers i've ever seen
NYT excerpt that reads: On Thursday, Mr. Benioff said he had never been progressive even if many San Franciscans thought he was. He said he was a longtime Republican before switching to become an independent voter. At the end of the interview, he turned to a public relations executive. He could be heard asking why her mouth was wide open and if he had said anything he shouldn’t have. “What about the political questions?” he asked. “Too spicy?” Then he hung up. Heather Knight is a reporter in San Francisco, leading The Times’s coverage of the Bay Area and Northern California.
