Started watching ⭐️Pluribus⭐️ last night
After Breaking Bad & BCC, V. Gilligan has delivered again. A huge shock: an intriguing plot, humor, splendid direction with superb long takes, R. Seehorn acting 😍...
For an obvious allegory for our constant hallucination in the face of the world we live in

After ytd's discussion with Myriam, I felt like creating my own version of the post's #dataviz.
I'm not a fan of mirrored line charts 🤨🪞🤨 & that's putting it mildly. I understand why that choice is often made, so I implemented a toggle. 😁

Here the full story:

My 11yo son came home from the school library with Orwell's Animal Farm. I told him every kid his age in USA should read it now. He asked why but I didn't want to spoil it.
Later, he came back to me & said "I get it. The pig builds a dictatorship". Yeah, that’s what the pig is doing, I answered.

Purchased this week. I know you’ve finished both of them (maybe as a completionist). I’ve started playing Astro Bot. This game is mind-blowingly creative and the gameplay is incredible. I already loved the VR version on PS4, but this one is pure masterclass 😍

Lego decided to target the geeky clients in October.
🙋🏻‍♂️ Guilty! with two charges...pop culture and retro gaming.

Found in a school-hosted yard sale in the neighborhood for 5 euros. Deal! (of course)

Discovering the channel performance reporting for Google Ads Performance Max

A lot to say about this pseudo-sankey diagram, but because my opinion is completely biased when it comes to talking about the G Ads, I preferred to let Alan Grant to comment on these metrics moving in herds...

How about we talk about dashboarding & reporting in an analytics world where generative AI is everywhere?

That's what I tried to do in this article: observations, reflections, requirements, and directions for solutions in one of the analytics disciplines.

Today was back to work, full of energy, new ideas, and fresh motivation 💪, while also bringing a new record 🎶 to the office.

During my vacation, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my favorite Ben Harper album had finally been reissued on vinyl: Diamonds on the Inside.
So good!

hooked, then understood that it is in private beta. Nice data synergy with SparkToro intelligence as an additional declarative feed. I've got in mind to test SparkToro after the summer holidays...so, maybe adding Alertmouse too when it will be launched.
Wishing the best for this project.

Current read is probably my best of the year.
It’s impressively rich in info, examples, perspectives, & analysis.
The insights seem obvious yet so powerful.
🤯The History of info networks offers so many answers for both the present and the future when explored by thinkers like YN Harari. A must-read.

Just-for-fun reports
This #LookerStudio blog category includes now 9 shared #dataviz.

In retrospect, I realize how eclectic the topics & inspirations are. It goes in all directions & I still love finding tricks for tiny elements that nobody will notice.

I’ll share thoughts on our role as digital analysts facing challenges around reporting & the underlying tech implications.

Here a little meme as a teaser 😉

How can one be proud of consuming so many resources just for marketing, as an SEO SaaS (whom I won’t name and don’t even dare ask how often their index refreshes)?

Prompt, baby, prompt?

Oh my God, it's staring at me!🐊
For the moment, I need to move slowly & access to the country filter and select France to push it out with its Overviews and AI mode parents.
