What the picker changes
  • Top topics digest — the cards score the selected period against the prior 4 weeks.
  • 12-week heatmap & outlet matrix — show the 12 weeks ending at the selected week (they slide back with the picker, they aren’t a fixed snapshot).
  • Per-topic volume / alias drift — same 12-week trailing window, anchored on the selected period.
  • Coverage gap quadrant — scores the selected period against the 12 weeks before it (not including it).
  • Anomaly cards — only show alerts the detector fired during the selected period. Quiet weeks legitimately show none.
What stays as-is
  • Outlet orientation strip / lean colours — context-only, drawn from the last 12 weeks of activity regardless.
  • Co-occurrence graph — recent-activity anchored, not picker-driven.
  • Source & topic profiles — all-time data for the topic; the picker doesn’t affect them.
Rolling 7 days is a sliding live window for “current vibes”; switch to Weekly to compare specific weeks side-by-side.

  • here's the other thing i have an issue with the prepared statement now whenever you see someone come out and go good morning ladies and gentlemen i'm going to read from a prepared statement and i won't be taking questions it is never good it is Like, if you look at other examples of public people doing a prepared statement in front of press, yes, I've stepped out of my wife and I got caught by the paparazzi. Yes, I've got a secret family somewhere. Like, it's never, never fucking good. Like, and I think if you just had a vote, whether it was a robust discussion or it was open and shut one way or the other, you don't need to read from a prepared statement. Are you that incapable of coming out and going, hey, look, yesterday I said I got the full support of the caucus, and for your benefit, I confirm that today formally. Here's the vote. It's unanimous, like I knew it was, so shut the fuck up and I'm out. You know, like it would have been more confident. The fact that it's a prepared statement. That's another nail in the coffin for me. He is drowning. This is death by a thousand cuts. He can't arrest the damage. But he's too dumb to step out of the way.
