A single point falling outside the computed control limits should be interpreted as an indication of an assignable cause exerting a dominant effect on the process.

- [OC] Voting clusters in the UN General Assembly 2015-2025
In the UN General Assembly, do some countries consistently vote the same way?
This plot lays out patterns of similarity in voting behaviour in the decade starting in January 2015. Countries that are close together in space on the plot tend to be similar in their voting.
Clearly the countries are divided and united by certain political themes, but the analysis is blind to these: all it sees is the votes themselves, not the topics voted upon.
Nevertheless, it has picked out a cluster of European nations in the top centre, joined by Ukraine and, more loosely, by Japan, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. The United States and Israel are a pair of outliers, voting almost identically to one another and often very differently from the rest of the world.
The technique used is logistic PCA, a decomposition method for use with binary data. Data is from the UN digital library. Visualisation done in R.
- The size of two supermassive black holes at the center of a distant galaxy relative to our solar system
> Two supermassive black holes are locked in an orbital dance at the core of the distant galaxy OJ 287. This diagram shows their sizes relative to the solar system. The larger one, with about 18 billion times the mass of our sun (right), would encompass all the planets in the solar system with room to spare. The smaller one is about 150 million times the mass of our sun (left), which would be large enough to swallow up everything out to the asteroid belt, just inside the orbit of Jupiter.

> Thinking of red states vs blue states is busted. Plenty of good visualizations of this over the years, but this election in particular feels really important to point out "We" did not chose this. > > When I say we I mean registered US voters, but even less so citizens, and even less so again residents. > > Even of the voters who did vote for the GOP candidate, who can say how many really wanted him or his policies vs they just didn't want more of the status quo Dems. > > The popular vote tallies in this graphic are out of date too, He definitely didn't win in a landslide the way it can appear with red and blue maps. His win in the popular vote was also pretty small now that more votes have been counted. https://www.thenation.com/.../donald-trump-vote-margin.../ > > So, what if Biden used broad immunity SCOTUS granted to declare a crisis of democracy - That between massive disinformation campaigns by enemies both foreign and domestic, voter suppression, as well as many other factors, the will of the people can't be discerned from our recent presidential election. That it would be a dereliction of duty both to the people and to his oath to defend the constitution to hand over power to someone whose clear and declared intent is abuse the power of the office to fundamentally reshape or demolish our republic based on this highly suspect and incomplete result (remember, most people didn't even vote) > > Here is my off the cuff proposal for what to do after that > > A new election, everyone must vote. Trump and Harris on the ballot, but each major party must offer 2 candidates, and we're using Ranked Choice Voting. 1st place gets presidency, 2nd place gets VP. > > Biden almost certainly won't do anything like this. He is clearly a coward with a stupid sense of optimism - a "things will be just fine, no need for any drastic measures" ever, mentality, and despite some rhetoric has shown no signs that he thinks there is anything to actually be concerned about from the party which has veered hard towards fascism. But, hey, a guy can dream.
