A thread of TX deaths. Look at the wide range of causes and the tendency to hedge about official cause of death, even now. The official death toll will be an underestimation.

@MPRnews Thank you for clarifying how our post-vax behavior should vary by the vax status of who we're with. What if you have kids at home? Our kids won't be vaccinated for months.
And how do the new strains that they may be more susceptible to affect this?

@GregCasar @austinenergy How can Texans figure out whether their bills will be impacted by the change in "market price"?

[Greg Casar @GregCasar]

@LinSWinton @RepAOC We're working on this in Austin. Stay tuned:

@RepAOC @GregCasar Texans are now being hit w/astronomical electric bills because "demand is high" (SUPPLY IS LOW). What recourse do they have? What collective action can they take?

I'm looking for a "history of #dataviz" article to assign to my uni students that 1. Meaningfully includes non-Western examples 2. Doesn't trivialize Nightingale 3. Doesn't treat quant data like it's the One Data to Rule Them All. Any suggestions? #quantitativereasoning #QR

@OpusMixtum @rivula Best (worst?) case scenario is these authors knew what they were doing and this was deliberately misleading, but I could totally see a student sorting their data by "total cases" then graphing without thinking it through

[Dr. Lin Winton @LinSWinton]

@OpusMixtum @rivula And I don't see it actually stated anywhere that cases are decreasing over time! A slightly more interesting question of ethics, as you're responsible not only for what you show but human cognition and common reader assumptions

@shamuskhan go asynchronous if you can! Post readings, quick drawings and videos (you can use your phone, nothing fancy) students can d/l then hop off.

I made a quick visual about hand sanitizing for a little #Datavisualization levity in a serious situation #COVIDー19 @CarletonQRC

[ProPublica @propublica]

Sanitizers that don’t contain the CDC’s recommended minimum of 60% alcohol are flying off store shelves and listed by sellers on Amazon for outrageous prices. Here is what you need to know. https://t.co/0vSlMsDAFm

@dkos07 @yashar Because they rely on you feeling that way and cultivate it. Your time and skill are valuable, don't give that away

[Dr. Lin Winton @LinSWinton]

@DaleL_McDowell @OhNoSheTwitnt Excellent point.

[Dr. Lin Winton @LinSWinton]

@OhNoSheTwitnt Or they're intimidated by you 💁🏻
