There is a traditional "Silver Road" to the Spanish side of the PT-ES border. There is also a "Silver Road" along the same path but defined by hair color: it's the area with the highest percentage of 65+ people in the peninsula.

I'm learning a lot about La Ruta de la Plata. Thanks, Copilot!

I see a "writing like a LLM" style in the near future. Egyptomania for today.

Should we consider this #datavis humor? (The Vicar of Dibley).

O evaristo.ai está muito melhor. Já sabe descrever a bandeira de Portugal e como se vai de Lisboa a Cascais. Ainda tropeça na agitação marítima de Beja. cc @vost.pt

Long and healthy life after 65? It depends on your country. #datavis

It's raining a bit so, I have the entire library just for myself.

Yes, you can choose a dif order, it depends on how you want to present and interpret the data. In this case, "this is the current ranking, here are the changes". A scatter solves the annoyance of having to choose an order. For now I just wanted to sell the idea that a dot plot is better than this...

Every time a bar chart is replaced by a dot plot an angel gets their wings. #datavis

I suspect my son misses his twin brother (in Erasmus now).

You have to analyse data fairly well (if you did it really well, you’d be a statistician). It’s perfect for someone like me. 2/2

Well, don't know if you can recognize Denmark @miskaknapek.bsky.social :) (I'm using grid codes that behave better with a nice rectangle like PT, and I'm too lazy, I mean busy, to make manual adjustments). Apparently the increase in GDD is in east Jylland. Does it make sense?

cc @chezvoila.com ok, the other ones look much better than this quick Excel version.

Famous scene in Portuguese movie: the woman, a data analyst, asks for some data. The man at the statistics office says they don't have it. Then I want a basket of unsupported opinions, she says. This repeats in loop.

(OK, it's snacks, not data, and a glass of wine, not a basket of opinions.)

Too bad this list:
Known knowns;
Known unknowns;
Unknown unknowns;

Excluded the bureaucratic one:
Unknown knowns.

E.g., EU institutions know this is a bad #datavis practice (told multiple times, and repeated this week by @albertocairo.com, btw). But this known is still unknown to the Eurostat.

Such a beautiful library deserves a few more books on information design and around. Just two by Manuel Lima and Tufte's the Visual Display...

A nice 100km bike ride. I considered taking the bus home when I was at the peak but decided against it. It seemed too much for a self deprecating joke.

Sigh.

Hope our (PT) finance ministry is as good at cutting costs as he is at cutting scales in bar charts. (Trying to find his contact to offer him a subscription to my #dataviz course).

Ninguém ligou à minha foto de ontem em Évora (está explicado) mas achei giro como uma rua com separação subtil de passeios pelo perfil da sarjeta é pintada com lugar de estacionamento em ambos os lados e sem espaço para os peões.

Estou em Évora, com 30 graus, e em vez desse saudável desiderato, apenas encontro coisas a merecer o máximo opróbrio e um par de estalos.
