Read the story here: How much does it cost to go to a World Cup game? We did the math. https://t.co/GJp8z0iHSq

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

I talked World Cup ticket prices this morning with @WatchSavannah and @JoeFryer — got to get into the research @RohanNadkarni and I did for the story (we spent an afternoon looking up hundreds of hotel and ticket prices)

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

I'm going on the NBC News NOW morning show in 90 minutes to talk World Cup ticket prices. 8:25 a.m. Eastern, you can watch it at https://t.co/2XQElvWMr9

I put together this visualization of my playlists by song release years, across all the summer and winter playlists I've made over the last 10-15 years, you can see it at https://t.co/0nbUHkKAJm (and you can listen to my latest summer playlist at https://t.co/ZZAFtV7WRp )

Saw Belle and Sebastian play a rooftop venue on a rainy Saturday evening, no umbrellas allowed, I wore two pairs of socks and my feet still got wet, I need a new raincoat but they played my favorite songs (The Boy with the Arab Strap!) and were a delight to endure. #rainchat

I've probably said this here before, but the @xkcd about map projections is just so good, I love it, it's the best. https://t.co/0pOIlk74AT

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

Tried not to give the kid one of these but well you never know

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

Just explained to a high schooler the process that went into building the map in this article https://t.co/3VnrsAWdBI and man, it's a ridiculous amount of detail and work that goes into projects like that. Truly ridiculous Jiachuan and I knocked this out in a day.

Here's what I wrote, if you were curious.

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

I wrote this new data-driven piece on gas prices, and it gets at what effect gas taxes (state and federal) have on what you pay for a gallon. [no paywall] https://t.co/4UwoBq84Dm

@MotherMarie777 @NBCNews Thanks for reading. Our team wrote about high gas prices multiple times during Biden's term. https://t.co/6JlcyTzwVO https://t.co/bpjpGph48k https://t.co/AsWDrAjT24

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

We've got a new visual on the @NBCNews gas price tracker that shows how much, in dollars, average gas prices have changed on the county level.

The Midwest has been hit the hardest, while Georgia is enjoying some of the lowest price increases in the U.S.

@airsyspro @NBCNews That map will still be there, L.

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

I put new and old Census Bureau data together for @NBCNews in this interactive that lets you see how popular your first (and last) name is, and how that's changed since 1990. https://t.co/JgMIAz3xy6

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

This is the segment the map ran in: https://t.co/IuU0oQ3J2m

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

It's always exciting when one of our graphics makes it up on @NBCNightlyNews.

[Joe Murphy @JoeMurph]

We just published that county gas price map in its own article: https://t.co/3VnrsAWdBI
