Gaza is a tableau of ruin. Nearly two million Palestinians remain displaced, tormented by hunger and disease. Rebuilding Gaza, whenever calm returns, will be a monumental task that could take decades. wapo.st/3BsGF5W

Amazing article (and visualization!) by @nitashatiku and @dataviz_szuyu about how beauty is represented in AI-generated images:

It shows so well how the choices made by a small group of [often White/male] people end up amplifying biases across society.
For those not in Seattle, here’s how to photograph the solar eclipse with your phone (w/ @wneff @chrisvelazco) washingtonpost.com/technolog…
My eclipse view from Seattle - tracks with @tierneyl @capitalweather’s cloud forecast 85% clouds - washingtonpost.com/weather/2…
The eclipse has made landfall over Mexico - See where and when it will cross into the U.S. and it’s path across North America (w/ @DylanMoriarty @kevinschaul) washingtonpost.com/science/i…
What time will your city experience its peak eclipse? Search for your city to find out when you should get outside to see sun obscured the most washingtonpost.com/science/i… (w/ @_carsonology @dataviz_szuyu @n_kirkpatrick)

PSA: If you’re on the fence about going to see the total eclipse in 1.5 weeks, this is your sign to make it happen!
For many Americans, April 8 will bring the closest total eclipse for the next 20+ years. And as we reported for @PostGraphics, it will be extra special!! (🧵)
ALT An image of a globe focused on North America showing upcoming total eclipses over the next 50 year. The upcoming April 8 total eclipse is highlighted in yellow. It crosses the U.S. from Texas to Maine, also going through Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and a few other states. The next total eclipse visible in the U.S. will be in 2044, only visible in Montana and North Dakota. After that, one will happen in 2045, going through California, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and a few other states. In 2052 and 2071, total eclipses will also pass through the U.S.

We dug into AI training data again, this time LAION and found that image generators trained on web-scraped data essentially act like stereotyping machines, perpetuating outdated American biases washingtonpost.com/technolog…
Catalina Channel is featured ⬇️ - fun fact I used to do that exact crossing multiple times a month when I lived on the island 🏝️ (but always by boat)

Worked with @MauraJudkis, edited by @Emily_M_Eng and @zpincusroth, on this fun lil visual look at Barbie's bajillion and one jobs over the years. It's a Barbie world -- we're just living in it. washingtonpost.com/arts-ente…
Latest from @janicekchen and @sadbumblebee
The Supreme Court has ruled to restrict affirmative action in the United States. We analyzed 30 years of race and ethnicity data to see what happened after affirmative action was banned in 8 states. wapo.st/3pkRP7j
ALT In states with bans, Hispanic and Native Americans were less represented. This chart shows where race-based admission policies were banned in 2021, already underrepresented racial groups had even lower representation when compared to states without bans.

Do LEDs seem brighter to you & make it harder to sleep? You're not wrong.
LEDs emit more blue light, which scatters in the sky & affects our health more than other bulbs.
Check out this amazing graphics piece w/@kt_prry, @sadbumblebee, @emilysabens, @Emily_M_Eng, @paulina_milla
The blue light in LEDs can lead to more light pollution. In Chelan County in Wash, pollution grew worse after streetlights were replaced w/LEDs. Additional glare masked about half the previously visible stars: wapo.st/3r3mNB3

Great work by @juledurg that shows how much territory Russia has gained and loss so far in Ukraine
A Washington Post analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War shows that, after aggressive advances in Ukraine in the first weeks of war, Russia hasn’t gained more than 1,000 square miles in a week since April. wapo.st/3GATw6S
