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.

  • Time now to mark the week. Little piece of news and current events that has never, never been in trouble, any trouble at all in Nicolas's office. Next year's On Me 7. Got there at last. In a country with less than no money, why spend a fortune on an idea that didn't, doesn't, and won't work? The climate in court, seven. This is a good idea. It constrains court creep, it contains adventurous troublemakers, it reminds us the ultimate court, the Parliament is the one that counts. Sir Graham Henry, eight. Yes, this is an excellent idea as well, Dave Renny needs to be congratulated. Big brains and a lot of experience and not to be underestimated. He's with us shortly. Uh, the New Zealand victim mentality. One. Mikey Sherman quit because she was a Māori woman. And Tori Farnow left the country because she was a Māori woman. Or so says the commentary this week. Until that level of myopic pity party nonsense is shelled, there isn't a lot of hope for any of us. The war for the blockade is incredible. The power of the blockade is incredible. For the first time, I think Trump is actually stuck. Yes, he can hold out, but he doesn't have the political road to hold out. In the ebb and flow of this story, he's now ebbed. Uh, the Australian budget, too. Based on a blatant lie. They said they wouldn't, and yet they did. And they wonder why politicians are held in shocking regard. Kia Starmer, speaking of which, one. My my pol my elbow looks straight up and down. Uh the toaster. Three. How bad does Hipkins and his cronies look now they've been busted, eh? In a world where you want better, they remind you a lot of it's still played in the gutter. Uh the Warriors 7. Yep, two points from a bye, two points from the Broncos. But how about old Luki? So much talent now. Some of them are gonna leave the building. Judith Judith.
