Open data friends,
If you could recommend only one resource (book, website, organisation, social media account, video, tool, other) what would you recommend to someone starting on their #opendata journey?
Something that will help them learn and explore.

I just realized that WICKED is almost totally ripped-off from The Wizard of Oz and I can’t believe people aren’t talking about it.

Still time to fix this. He's pushing back against Trump nicely, but his policies are not what this nation needs.
Admit It. Gavin Newsom Is the 2028 Front-runner.

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.
