Really like this way of displaying uncertainty in the nytimes poll tracker #datavis www.nytimes.com/2024/06/2…

Minoli made mani pittu!!!!!

Best thing about cheese boards is quince paste tbh. I could take or leave the cheese most of the time

“The carbon cost of rebuilding Gaza will be greater than the annual greenhouse gas emissions generated individually by 135 countries” www.theguardian.com/world/art…

Australian cricket team currently taking on a German grandmother(?) at the World Cup

Can’t recommend life drawing enough. Went for the third time last night and I can definitely see (and feel) the improvement

More dogs everywhere imo (with mitigation for people who are scared, allergic etc.) theconversation.com/kids-cour…
