Meet Bunty, brand new #StetPet editorial assistant of ON editor @RobinMarwick.

Update: there are now 305 publications/organizations/news channels listed. I added a column for people to describe the nature of the assignment and there's still a column for any higher up at the outlet to comment on their practices. https://t.co/DWoW10MTfU

Love this. There’s a glancing reference to data quality in my #BadGraphs talk but not enough time to go into detail — this perfectly illustrates why it’s important!

Chihuahua syndrome: messy data from variations in spelling or input.

The name The chihuahua syndrome is from @EdwardTufte in his new book Seeing with Fresh Eyes, based on an anecdote from Chris Groskopf @onxyfish

This is a graph so bad I’m not even sure I can fit it into my #BadGraphs talk, I’d need to change the y-axis. (Thread. 🧵)

Sinéad O'Connor was brilliant, smart and courageous as fuck. I hope she’s remembered for her sense of humour, too.

Here she is attending an anti-Sinéad O'Connor demonstration in disguise. Truly one of a kind 🖤

Twitter friends, an important announcement

It's all completely horrible but the mass email thing is especially sticking with me because what the fuck. Mass emails aren't for things like TELLING PEOPLE THEIR IMPRINT IS DEAD NOW

This is not an email I ever expected to receive or send.

@mollyrookwood I’m a “watch the clock like a hawk and then decide 4 minutes before the meeting to do just one quick thing, resulting in me being at least 3 minutes late” person

[Robin Marwick, ELS (mostly not here) @RobinMarwick]

@hellmanmd It is!

[Robin Marwick, ELS (mostly not here) @RobinMarwick]

Definitely! I’m always hoping to see someone I know, plus I’d love to be there myself someday.

(I have been in a couple of journal article acknowledgements, which is always super exciting.)

@MichaelHelfield Aw, thank you!

[Robin Marwick, ELS (mostly not here) @RobinMarwick]

@EagleEyeEditor COOL!
