I subscribe to @wsj.com because of their excellence in reporting...and the strong firewall between news and the editorial board. Yet their masthead has been unflinching, no more so than in tomorrow's edition (gift link) www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Check out the “Building story maps with mapgl” vignette that @kylewalker.bsky.social dropped yesterday. His great documentation makes it super easy to get started. Between {Closeread} and {mapgl} it has been a big couple of months for scrollytelling in R.
