A place to share and discuss visual representations of data: Graphs, charts, maps, etc.

DataIsBeautiful is for visualizations that effectively convey information. Aesthetics are an important part of information visualization, but pretty pictures are not the sole aim of this subreddit.

A place to share and discuss visual representations of data: Graphs, charts, maps, etc.

  A post must be (or contain) a qualifying data visualization.

  Directly link to the original source article of the visualization

    If you made the visualization yourself, tag it as [OC]

  [OC] posts must state the data source(s) and tool(s) used in the first top-level comment on their submission.

  DO NOT claim "[OC]" for diagrams that are not yours.

  All diagrams must have at least one computer generated element.

  No reposts of popular posts within 1 month.

  Post titles must describe the data plainly without using sensationalized headlines. Clickbait posts will be removed.

  Posts involving American Politics, or contentious topics in American media, are permissible only on Thursdays (ET).

Nice visualization. Unfortunately the domain it's blocked on my work network for some reason. Hopefully others don't have the same problem.

Short summary in case you cannot access the site:
The DOGE cuts represent <1% of federal spending. They are targeted for political messaging and stoking culture wars, not for reducing the deficit or cutting the size of government. Which shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

Odd that it’s blocked. You’re right that it shouldn’t be surprising.

I thought it was novel how there are scale options to make the data more digestible for non-mathematical people.

It's likely no fault of your own with the site being blocked. As it is a new website no one has been able to take a look at it to classify it.

What's the bobby Hill meme? They would be mad if they could read?
