What do 100 years of demographics look like in NYC? This animated chart pulls census data show the # of recent immigrants and overall race and ethnicity from 1900-2000. #nyc #data

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

One of the #dataviz projects I’m most proud of, this tour of the “Special Animals” complex dendrogram explains a dataviz mural from our exhibition LA on the Move at Union Station in downtown LA!!

My son got a 303 emulator for Christmas and it’s flipping awesome:

Happy holidays everyone! If you want a jolly vintage playlist of 63 HOURS of holiday music - look no further! open.spotify.com/playlist/60a...

When do I get a chance to complain about that horrible new Knives Out show? It's painfully bad.

I hate hearing the same holiday music over and over, so I made a truly epic Vintage Xmas playlist with over 1,300 songs!!! I've been curating and adding to it for YEARS and its really fun! Just put it on and let it roll! open.spotify.com/playlist/60a...

How is this considered anything other than bad design??? This Liquid Glass UI feels like many steps backwards.

It's time again for the best version of this song!!!! open.spotify.com/track/2OurbH...
