I am not a big fan of fully justified text. I get it, in things like newspaper and narrow blocks of copy, it can make sense. Although in those situations, again, personal preference is flush left ragged right. But, for when you do have to fully justify your text, xkcd has a guide to deal with those tricky situations where you have very few characters on a line.

Happy Friday, all. Today’s piece is funny, but also hits fairly close to home. Not that I live in or near Nebraska. But I work near Excel spreadsheets.

Well Happy Friday, everyone. Today’s chart is a serious subject: the (brief) recovery of the S&P 500. But because this is Friday, take a look at the annotations on the chart.

Well today is Friday, so let’s leave the politics of this week behind and just enjoy the great United States of America.
Wait a minute…

Happy Friday, everybody. Just to lighten the mood a wee bit here is a chart about chipmunks from Last Week Tonight.

For those of you like myself from the East Coast—even if some of us have unfortunately moved away from civilisation—terms like Snowmageddon and Snowpocalypse draw upon memories of lots and lots of snow. So with all the hype about today’s snowstorm about to pummel the East Coast, the Washington Post took a look at the forecast range of snow and compared that to Snowmageddon.
Side note, as someone who it could be said uses a lot of purple in his work, I love the colour choices here.

Happy Friday, everybody. Today’s piece comes from Indexed. And yep, I have never walked in those shoes.

Admittedly today’s piece fails to deliver on the data visualisation and information design spectrum. But I found it hilarious and apropos to this week’s content.

Well, today is Black Friday. And so there were probably lines at the door of your local department store at the wee early hours of the morning. But I was working, and partly to bring you this. Google has data on what each state searches for the most. And Vox turned that into a map. Turns out a lot of you want boots.

It’s Friday. It’s October. That means it’s time for pumpkin spice cocktails, courtesy of This Is Indexed. Gentrify, people. Gentrify.
