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.

  • The only difference really with the new air points, which is called Coro, is that they appear to have copied Qantas' scheme. Looks like the government is... What I've got for you is an update on the social media, like what the government is going to do with the social media banning. banning you know the banning the social media for the kids under 16 now um up to now we haven't found out what they're going to do because they said they were going to do something and then they were dicking around and then it sounded like they're going to do something and then it's been weeks blah blah but it looks like they are actually excuse me going to ban the under 16s from using the social media just like Australia has done even though they haven't announced anything yet and the clue is in the job that they've just advertised so the Department of Internal Affairs has put the job ad out It is leading the establishment, it says in the ad, of new government restrictions on access to social media for those under 16 years old. It's looking for someone senior. This is a high profile time critical program that will shape how Aotearoa New Zealand protects children and young people online. We are seeking an experienced program implementation director to lead the design and early delivery of the phase one operational model for this new regulatory regime. Basically, they're going to ban the kids. They posted the job ad two days ago, then they removed it today. A, the job ad has been copied and pasted by, I think, the Free Speech Union or something like that, have gone public with it. So we know the applications have to be in by next Friday, so they better get that job ad out again. I'm not unhappy about this, actually. I'd like them to do this. I just think, why don't they just get on and bloody announce it instead of being so weird about it. 6.26.
