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.

  • Do you know what it probably is? This is probably the answer to my own question, as arrogant as that sounds. When COVID was happening in New Zealand, there was all those protesters on the front lawn of Parliament. We held the disinformation dozen who were the 12 people in New Zealand giving out 95% of the disinformation, we held them more accountable than we did the people that were falling for it. So basically the people who were responsible, so in other words, the voter in America come to the right side of history we welcome you Marjorie Taylor Greene who was one of the dozen who was tricking that voter you are more accountable than that so there's probably different levels of responsibility depending on who they are if you if you're the one who's been tricked if the cult got you if you got caught up in the cult because of people like Marjorie Taylor Greene then empathy for you welcome to the light side Marjorie Taylor Greene it's good you've turned away but fuck you very much you know still because he's there because of you and others like you perhaps um all righty let us let us let us let us done that one done that one done that one done that one i was just doing the little short ones to see we had another little short one to put in between and we don't so let's talk about fuel as i said the ven diagram show today iran fuel ceasefires uh one uh one use featured uh quite a good uh conversation around fuel prices fuel that sort of thing there's a really i we should have paid more i i should have paid more attention i probably could go and look there seems to be this practice when fuel sorry when oil prices go up fuel prices go up immediately as of right now i suspect there's not a single liter of fuel being sold in new zealand where the petrol companies had to pay the inflated price because the fuel that recently came to our dock was already in root when that prices started to go up the fuel that's coming across now the oil the petroleum that's coming across now there's a higher price on so basically i i suspect all fuel in the country right now was of the let's say 10 week ago price But as soon as oil spikes in price, the day of, the day after, within a couple of days, petrol prices spike. So they're charging you.
