Do people say “my DMs are open” on Bluesky? Either way, they are. Get in touch if you have interesting research to share or story ideas! (The inspo for this story using our Big Mac index came from one of our Off The Charts readers!) www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

We’ve also been doing cool stuff with maps, like “short histories” on various geopolitical stories showing how borders have shifted. A shameless plug for the one I wrote on China-Taiwan, but you can also search for Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Palestine, and India www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Exhibit C: Our Carrie Bradshaw index by @lizzypeet.bsky.social on where people can afford to rent their own apartment, based on average wages. Giving it some Sex and the City branding was the cherry on top! www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Exhibit B: This culture piece tried to quantify the greatest books of all time—and how long it would take to get through them all. If you’re looking for some book-related inspo for your New Year’s resolutions, this is a great place to start www.economist.com/interactive/...

This has given me a lot of freedom to commission fun, informative, and visual pieces. Exhibit A: our footloose index by @ainsliejstone.bsky.social showing the most attractive countries for graduates. (Brits, take note of the UK’s massive drop) www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Eagle-eyed subscribers may have noticed that the section no longer runs in print. We made this shift to focus more on digital-friendly visualisations (interactives, etc) that aren’t constrained by the layout or timing of our weekly newspaper www.economist.com/graphic-detail
