Most people get their data online nowadays, but I still like to drive down to the data centre on Saturday and go round with a trolley to stock up for the week, picking out the freshest-looking data, seeing what's on offer, having a chat at the checkout, dodging the Russian scammers in the car park

Why Visual Journalism is so slow?
I've tracked every hour I worked on an article for two weeks last year. Most of my time did not go into graphics production but in researching and analyzing data.

Despite the cute map, worth noting the most common incident reported at matches last season was hate crime.
Hate crime was reported at 420 matches (just six of these were women's football).
A lot more work is needed so everyone can feel safe at matches, according to @kickitoutofficial.bsky.social.

Party colour - brown
As someone who puts abbreviations for political parties in spreadsheets, I counsel them not to call their party Assemble.
Politico reports that the left-wing grouping of independents in the Commons (Inc Corbyn) has been "formalising its operation lately, hiring staff to work for the group rather than individual MPs and debating how to go about potentially becoming a proper party." They're discussing a name (Assemble?)
