Going to have more to say about this (the photo, the article it came with, Grantland in general) later today or tomorrow but, for now… how freaking rad is this?

Another chart! Two in one day!! (Chartmakers… get busy working on “luck”-related graphics.) good: The top ten social TV events, from Bluefin Labs Social TV rating data.  Our business editor, Tim Fernholz, took a look at the most social-media active televised events from this past year. Turns out people still really like watching those moon men statues getting passed out. Or maybe it was Bey’s baby announcement that captivated our attention.   Read more on GOOD →

Something else we would love to see for HOBART 13: luck… flow charts! like the above (which is apparently broken into 3 different images, so you actually need to follow this link: via Flavorwire » Essential Flowchart: What Would Don Draper Do?) or this (The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time). or this (Jim Beam bourbon process). or this (“Total Eclipse of the Heart”). etc…

We’ve already told you how much we love graphics such as this, right? This map, created by designer Derek Watkins, color-codes the waterways of the U.S. by names they’re given. As Watkins explains, these names have their own name: toponyms, which are general descriptions of geographic features. The degree of geographical concentration of certain name types is pretty striking. Brooks tend to stay in New England, and bayous are primarily in the Louisiana-Mississippi area. Cañadas, rios and arroyos are concentrated in the Southwest. Branches seem to have the widest territory, covering much of the southeastern corner of the country. usagroningen: theatlantic: Name That Waterway

vintageanchor: “I Would Not, Could Not On A Sign”  Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham has been summed up as a simple street sign. We’d love to see a similar version of Infinite Jest.
