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.

  • Very nice. I became uh semi-engross in part because Manu Bay's awesome, but I knew those pictures were going round the world, and that's worth investing in, in my humble opinion. The hybrid fairy this week three. Because, you know, even on reveal day for the media, it doesn't work. You can't recharge it. The charge is late, and that is all that's wrong with New Zealand. The other thing that's wrong with New Zealand, the Upston pylon. One. What a petty navel gazing bit of low rent, bitter obsessive BS this week, mainly from stuff in Radio New Zealand, over a person, and they're entirely above board entitlement. Actually, speaking of which stuff, again, two. Their coverage of our acknowledgement to MP Moody over Outingham and the Luxendrama was wrong. They said we apologised. We did not apologize. Stuff literally made that up. It's sloppy. Uh, Fontera 9. Yep. Just been celebrating. They're almost uh AI-esque in their income stream these days. The new season range contains the aforementioned eleven, as in dollars. The moon base, six. Uh, because it sounds cool, but the timeline of 2032, work it out, six years away. You can't build a kilometer of tarmac in six years, far less house yourself on the moon. Gucci, eight. Naming rights for Elpine. It's gonna be called Gucci Racing in F1. See, I'd rather come seventh in a Gucci than fifth in Atlassian. See, style matters. Actually, speaking of cars, the Luce won. It's inexplicable. The Pope, six.
