New Weekly Chart! In a democracy, does one voter ever have the final word? It may not be common — but it is possible. Our writer @rosemintzers ran the numbers to see where America's kingmaker is most likely to be found.

A hundred years ago, no raccoon had ever lived wild in Germany — today, one is probably rummaging through your trash right now. If you live in Kassel, that is.

Come be my colleague!

We're looking for TWO new faces in communications — a second data vis writer to join me on the blog as well as an evangelist for workshop and video formats.

A question for all Arabic and Hebrew-speaking people out there: In a #dataviz in your language with a date/time x-axis, would you prefer it to go from right to left, or from left to right? (Polls in the next tweets!)

This Dispatch doesn't cover the work of one week — it's a look back at the entire COVID era in data vis. Which is now entering its... third year.

Data journalists took this lemon of a story and made some delicious visual lemonade. Take a look 🍋
