I love the dark energy of Star Tribune’s new mascot, Stribby. Large, grey, with piercing eyes.

You just imagine you’re standing in line at the grocery store, you turn around and Stribby’s there and asks in a whisper, “You wanna know about the St. Cloud mayor’s race?”

Look at your name's popularity here, via the great @JeffHargarten: https://t.co/FZjzpekGtC

@cguess @gijn @StarTribune It definitely requires troubleshooting, and isn't a substitute for knowing how to code. But what it produces helps with scaffolding and thinking – and sometimes it does just work right out of the prompt, particularly for some of the more trivial things we do in data journalism

[Courtney (C.J.) Sinner @cjsinner]

Incredibly proud of the reporting and writing and graphics work on this project, even though the folks who worked on it aren't on this platform anymore.

It's a beautiful story and thoughtfully designed, and the type of thing my team hopes to do more of!

It allll makes sense now.

Why does my mail say Minneapolis or St. Paul when I don’t live there? https://t.co/awoX8s5yuD

[MaryJo Webster @MaryJoWebster]

Yesterday was just another day in data journalism world, dealing with dirty data.

A bill that some have called the Tony Webster Bill is now on the ropes at the capitol. Why are they calling it that? 🧵
