❌ AI generated slop menus with pictures that make your food look like worms ✅ scribbles on a piece of paper saying how much the soup cost

4 panel comic: Panel 1: A chef with a wooden spoon talks to a brown dog (bruno). He says “I have a new business!” Bruno answers “cool!” Panel 2: he shows his menu. He says “this is my menu”. We can’t quite read what it says yet Panel 3: a zoom in on the menu. It has just a few lines written on it. Soup: 1. Bread: 1. Soup + Bread: 2. He kept it very simple! Panel 4: He shows Bruno a small pencil. He says “I designed it with this”. Bruno approves and goes “nice!”

"Fade on zoom" is one of my favorite cartographic techniques. Interpolate a layer's opacity by zoom level to progressively show more data and eventually show all data at full zoom. Try it live in my latest project which maps the 2020 US Census by age group: walker-data.com/maps/census-...

I wonder how they define “peer cities.” Many of these places seem so very different.

A year ago, just 42% of Americans opposed a data center being built in their community. Today, a staggering 75% do. Are data centers really that bad? Let’s take a look.

This beautiful dictionary of colours found in nature dates back to more than a century before Pantone. 🎨 Werner's Nomenclature of Colour was an indispensable resource for Charles Darwin, helping him describe new species. We love these natural colours - which page do you like best?

A page of an old book titled “Blues” with a chart of different shades, naming each shade with an example of an animal, vegetable and mineral of that colour.

Another page titled “Reds” with a chart various shades with an animal, vegetable and mineral for each.

An old book page titled “Yellows” with a chart citing various shades of yellow with an animal, vegetable and mineral of each colour for reference.

Another page titled “Greens” with a chart of various shades of green with an animal, vegetable and mineral of each shade.

Happy 4th of July, Huskies!

A black and white husky-like dog wears a red and blue "USA" headband and a purple bandana with "W DUBS." The dog sits on green turf, looking up with a happy, open-mouthed expression, tongue out. Purple light illuminates the dog and a white wall behind.

New Bird Poster! It's got 37 hand painted birdies of Eastern Canada at half their true size, based on photos I've taken myself. Bird names in Latin, English, and French. Link to my store in my story!

It's an ad for a new bird poster I've drawn. The image is of the poster in a gold frame hung on a white wall with dappled light shining. It is an attempt to make the product look like something the customer would like to purchase.

The Seed Song

A chipping sparrow is humming to itself while hopping around a forest floor in early spring. New plants are sprouting through fallen years from the year before. Zoom in on the bird in the second panel as it sings "I never had a seed that I didn't like / dry ones hard ones sharp ones even taste alright / if you don't eat them fast, they turn into a grass! / if you let them be, they become a tree!" It stops to munch on some morsels of sparrow food, whatever that is, at the base of a plant that towers over its head. It looks up and up. The final frame is zoomed out to see the top of the plant, which is a trillium. The sparrow cheerily says "Good morning!". And that's how you make a comic!

A jury has found that Live Nation has been operating as an illegal monopoly. Live Nation used its dominance to harm customers, artists, and venues alike. Other monopolies take away our freedoms in similar ways. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.
