How Often Britain Counts Itself Screensaver
The How Often Britain Counts Itself screensaver shows statistical series from the UK Office for National Statistics, key-less. The release frequency is the column worth reading: deaths are registered and published weekly while well-being is measured quarterly, and that cadence is a policy decision about what the state considers urgent enough to keep counting. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
