- The Washington Post layoff news yesterday had enough comments about its wrong-headedness, no need for more, but my word, other newsrooms need to be racing to put their bids on the table for some of the prime talent now looking for new roles. I mean, Tim Meko, seriously, form a queue!
- News: I was cut yesterday in a newsroom-wide layoff affecting 300+ staff at The Washington Post. I spent the last decade leading and building the award-winning Graphics team. I'll miss them. I'm now exploring senior graphics, cartography, or leadership roles. Intros welcome. timmeko.com
- Final mention for this new episode, published yesterday, which is all about cartoons. If you're looking to expand your creative mind and consider new ways of thinking about your data viz sensibilities, this is one for you!
- NEW EPISODE! What do cartoons have to do with data viz? More than you might think! I chat with @chazhutton.com to learn about this artform and the critical thinking that shapes this contrasting visual form. visualisingdata.com/2026/02/expl...

- Hitting your ears/eyes tomorrow is a new 'Explore Explain' show with the brilliant @chazhutton.com as we reflect on the creative thinking behind and craft of being a cartoonist - and what we in dataviz can learn. One of my favourite episodes, watch out for it launching! visualisingdata.com/podcast/
