Well that's depressing... xitter.cf/TinaDaheley/status/100…
A reminder that more people applied for Love Island this year than Oxford/Cambridge University.

Oh my! This is something to bring a smile to those of us working madly to prepare for #GDPR - at least we haven't done this => xitter.cf/hattygrant/status/9934…
My new fave thing is spotting mistakes in privacy policies. The @Space_NK one still has someone's notes in it 😂 particular fave is 'do we do this?' #gdpr

Now that the brilliant @mollymath has galvanised a whole new set of #grimgraph hunters, I'm looking forward to seeing more truly horrible examples shared on here. Here's a cracker to get things started!

Honestly, just let me know if you're *not* updating your Privacy Policy.

Wow. Am especially loving the instruction "Don't say we already do what GDPR requires"! xitter.cf/becket/status/98384661…

Bar graphs are hard to get wrong, unless you make them 3D of course. But somehow @degiroeu have made a hideous #grimgraph out of this one. And it undervalues the point they’re making too - double fail! (Thanks to @albertoapardo for sharing)

Also, £1.79 is 82.9% cheaper than £10.45 so we’re looking at a rounding error here too. Triple fail! #mathsfail

A lovely illustration of how truncating lines on a chart can mislead, and in turn lead our brains to underestimate a serious issue #grimgraph xitter.cf/L__Macfarlane/status/9…

I’m a few days late in sharing this, but here’s a brilliant #grimgraph (if that’s not an oxymoron) for all Remainers to enjoy! Thanks for the share @notabbott - I absolutely LOVE this use of the dreaded pie chart => xitter.cf/spaceangel1964/status/…

“Data, for all that it is about the numbers, it is actually about people." On #InternationalWomenDay2018 that means thinking about gender balance in your teams and #pressforprogress. @TheDataIQ  lnkd.in/gQw_qkD lnkd.in/gm7X4WR

A century ago, women – almost everywhere – were not allowed to vote and not members of parliament. The chart gives a global perspective on how women’s participation in politics has increased in the last century – and how much more is left to to. [data: ourworldindata.org/grapher/p…]
