If I ever have the need to share something work or non work related it will be here.
Look no further, in Liberia each (potential) student (25k in total) that attempted the entry exam for one of the 2 state universities failed. I don't think you need more evidence to see how broken a state than this….
Nearly 25,000 students flunked the test

The people from the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service published an awesome piece of big data mapping online. They took the race of each individual American and overlayed that on a map. The result is a stunning map of the States on which you can see clear city block race boundaries that, to me, indicates how badly races are mingling.

The Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service published an interesting data rich map online the other day. They took all the US 2010 census data about race and decided to plot that on a single map. Each American is represented as a dot (yes that are many dots!).

What becomes clear if you go through the map and zoom in/out is how dense populated some areas are and even more how strong the racial boundaries in cities are. You can clearly see on city block level what race is living where and how badly races mingle. See for example the attached screenshot of New York city. You can clearly see the hispanic, the black and the white neighbourhoods on Manhattan island.
Anyway, have a look yourself, be amazed and share screenshot of regions you find interesting:
