Any chess mavens out there that can give me another pair of eyes on this viz? I was interested in when the best chess players tend to castle and to which side. So I'm wondering if this viz is clear and accurate (I don't play much chess but am curious about this move!). Thanks!

(what i need is a 'like'/'favourite' button, but which acknowledges that I really like the visualistion, but the subject matter makes me sad)

Interesting chart from Washington Post, a circle beeswarm, with circle packing within each parent node. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/local/school-shootings-database/

I’m formulating a plan for inclusion efforts on vis.social, with the goal of making this a more diverse (and therefore more valuable and sustainable) social space.

But… I don't know what I'm doing! Please review and comment to me here, or in the doc:

currently working on an MS implemention, and read this doozy on the MS website on "Common myths of reporting":

"Myth #3: Developers are good at creating visually compelling designs.
In reality, developers are the often the worst offenders when it comes to producing elegant design layouts that will appeal to the customer’s aesthetic preferences."

ummmm
