These were the questions that contributor Derek Taylor asked himself when beginning this visual essay about changes to cities’ climate classifications. Climate scientists say that we’re headed for more than a two degree rise in earth’s temperatures. But for most of us, that’s not really helpful in providing a tangible vision of our potential future. This project uses climate zones (e.g., Arid, Temperate, Tropical) to depict the impact of climate change. Explore changes to 70 global cities: Los Angeles will feel like present-day New Delhi. Future Boston will feel like present-day Atlanta. The Longest Collaborative Flipbook Animation Ever
We ran an interactive flipbook experiment earlier this year, and the result is an 8-minute flipbook video using 5,760 reader-contributed drawings. You can read all about the results in our recap article or this 11-minute deep-dive video. We also detail our attempt at a secret experiment: people would be more inclined to draw inappropriate images with no personal information attached to their submissions. We analyzed 1,281 court documents of alleged child abuse in New Hampshire youth facilities. Here’s what they show.
Since 2020, almost 1,300 people have filed lawsuits alleging they were abused as children at New Hampshire’s juvenile jail and more than 50 privately-run facilities that contracted with the state to care for children. The allegations span from 1960 to as recently as 2021. Many of the people bringing these claims forward have waited decades for their stories to be believed—and for accountability from the state. In collaboration with New Hampshire Public Radio and their investigative team, Document, we read and analyzed 1,281 lawsuits filed by people alleging abuse in state custody. Each one includes a specific account of the abuse that each person says they were subjected to as a child.
Bonus Chart: The Caitlin Clark EffectA little bonus chart if you made it this far. Caitlin Clark has taken the WNBA by storm, albeit quite divisively. It can be hard to put discrete numbers on her impact, but the number of people watching WNBA game recaps on YouTube is a decent proxy (and it’s the main way I [Russell Samora] watch basketball nowadays). Through 18 games of the WNBA season, the median view count for an Indiana Fever game, featuring Caitlin Clark, is about 200,000 views; the Fever’s average highlight video is more popular than the highest non-Clark highlight video on the WNBA’s YouTube channel.
Quick asides!
