Proud of the @NSF & @vermont_epscor support for the @uvmvermont people and partners using data science and digital humanities methods to better understand and harness the power of stories. Maybe this moment will register clearly on the @hedonometer!

"If politicians want to curb global unhappiness, they can start by monitoring systematically how people feel.”

To me, the most quintessential #dataviz of the last 25 years:

Seamless & fluid ux, blending charts & other content, interesting data with live updates, personal stories (forest+trees), particles, sketchy rendering…

Yesterday was the saddest day in the history of @Twitter

[hedonometer @hedonometer]

The shock of Uvalde.

Happiness-sadness time series at the 15 minute scale on Twitter:

Finally, @compstorylab showed just how much the overall sentiment on Twitter dropped after news of the Uvalde shooting spread. Thanks to @ChrisDanforth @peterdodds and team there.

Uvalde:

[hedonometer @hedonometer]

The horrific elementary school shootings at Sandy Hook and Uvalde.

Almost ten years apart.

The collective negative emotional reactions on Twitter have very similar word use patterns.

Through Hedonometer’s lens: The story is the same.

[hedonometer @hedonometer]

A few (of a long list of) caveats: Through Twitter, the Hedonometer gives a “distant measure” of a population. We’re grouping tweets by language only, not geography. And Twitter is a complicated space of people and not-people.

[hedonometer @hedonometer]

The war crime story is being talked about on Russian Twitter.

[hedonometer @hedonometer]

Some of the top words driving Ukrainian down translate to ‘crimes’ and ‘murders’ and ‘hell’ and ‘i hate’.

Story Lab worked with @TheEconomist to help with an analysis of Russian language social media (Twitter and VK).
