This chart is a masterclass in how to make ordinary variation look like a crisis. The biggest problem? The y-axis starts at 500 instead of 0. That massively exaggerates the height differences between the bars, making a relatively modest increase in water demand look dramatic and alarming. 571 ML/d and 670 ML/d are only about a 17% difference β€” but visually the red bars appear almost twice as large as the green one. Then there’s the colour coding: 🟒 safe 🟑 warning 🟠 danger πŸ”΄ crisis Those thresholds are arbitrary, but the design makes the audience feel like demand suddenly becomes catastrophic at 650. This is why data visualisation ethics matter. Charts shouldn’t be designed to manipulate emotion β€” they should help people understand reality accurately. A simple zero-based axis and neutral colours would tell the story honestly.

Ok @SkyHelpTeam getting fed up with ongoing issues….WiFi max booster not working, connects for 5 mins then drops. Moved it closer to router to connect then goes again. Ongoing speed issue sitting with #openreach. What else can I do other than cancel the lot and go elsewhere?

QR codes have been stuck onto some of our parking machines today. We do not offer this as a method of payment, and these stickers are NOT legit. It is highly likely to be a scam. Full story: news.canterbury.gov.uk/news/…
