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. https://t.co/qPa4dji5Go

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. My latest Weekly Chart on the 20th century's great raccoon escapes: 🦝 https://t.co/ScrTNtIkuk

How do you prefer to read charts in your right-to-left language? Please weigh in and share! (Readers of other RTL languages like Urdu, Persian, etc. also very welcome to comment 📉)
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!) Examples: https://t.co/Q3qRG8OWg0 & https://t.co/OhmFdKDTuL

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 🍋 https://t.co/55kZJT9w2u

This week's Data Vis Dispatch has hazardous waste (in the middle of a city), power failures (in the middle of a heat wave), and "work-related" parties (in the middle of a lockdown) 🤐 https://t.co/5IfiwhknTf
