In: Culture Source: WSJ
20 Aug 2012Explore the 165,068 murders in the US by where, when, how, and the circumstances. The subtotals next to the filter menu saves a lot of time.

Emotional Guidance Scale
In: Culture
14 Aug 2012Emotions are the result of how well reality meets up with your expectations. I go back and forth between liking this graphic and thinking the it’s a little too vague and disconnected.

22 May 2012Every once in a while you stumble upon an obsessive hobby niche with some really stunning visualizations. Today’s obsession: Avengers comic books and the work of Jer Thorp. It turns out that there is a massive database of comic book metadata to work with.
The covers of every Avengers issue:
Who appears in each issue, by date:
Jer goes on to look at Avengers by first appearance, sex, robot, gods, and in part II who appeared more, who created the characters, and so on. I only wish he had shared more about how he built the visualization tools.
Women in Parliament
15 May 2012We’ve looked at female world leaders before. Here are some stats on representation (well, what is supposed to be representation).
