Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."
Ms. Rachel post:
"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine. Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it.

"If more than 20,000 white children were killed in another part of the world, everyone would be shouting about it at their concerts. Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

I finally got myself an RTL-SDR receiver and today afternoon tracked the Meteor M2 satellite. With an antenna strapped to the end of a mop, I dangled off the edge of my balcony and got this beautiful reading of almost the entire Indian peninsula. #maps My mind is blown!

This is the before! We've been logging our word game results into this every day for the last 2.5 years. It has a startup time of around 30 seconds and is very prone to error 🫠 Made no sense to keep it any longer since the backend is anyway just a Google Sheet.

It's extremely amusing that seismo.gov.in clips the earthquake impact data to our boundaries because an earthquake that happens in India stays in India, as everyone knows. #dataviz We will not part with one pixel of extra information *waves fist patriotically*

Since this data is being archived every day for the last 6 months, it gives me a chance to create #dataviz for how it has trended so far or compare it to what it is today. We can also find weather stations that are 'twins' and experience the same kind of skies. diagramchasing.fun/2026/mapping...

Every day, India's Met department publishes a forecast chart for ~1,200 stations. Their cloud-cover panel is drawn to look like a pixelated cloudy sky! I've been analyzing the charts to convert them to data, and map them daily in the same pixel art style. #dataviz diagramchasing.fun/2026/mapping...

We did a massive data-collection-and-joining effort combined with statistical modeling to estimate that about 200 to 400 pedestrians are dying each year who otherwise would have survived if vehicles were about the same size as they were around 20 years ago. Cumulatively, that's thousands of deaths.

Indian censor board cuts to any film used to be published in government gazettes by law. I collected 8,000 movies from the 1960s-90s and dug through them in this new post. Bond, Lawrence of Arabia, a lot of nervousness about communists and "suggestions of kissing". #dataviz aman.bh/blog/2026/hi...

Well, yes, but that is more semantics I feel. Probabilistic or not, the myth-making is what's exhausting, and it seems to have everyone in a hold. I don't think people need to sell Claude with the output. If "Claude made it super fast, it's the end of our craft" is the main point, then *moves away*.

This is also why I don't engage in AI doomerism. I am not burying my head in the sand either, but these are the talking points that companies are already selling and I don't need to amplify them. That's what they want. It is a tool. Use it if you want to for software, but no need to mythologize it.
