How the week talked
the eight lenses, this week against the whole recordOf 1,164 words this week’s tapes file under a lens, 29% were about money — 25% across the whole record. It leaned furthest from the record’s habit toward the environment: 11% of the week’s words, against 5%.
counted by the press from the record’s own planes — the meetings’ roll calls, moments, sums and lenses, and the threads’ timelines; no model counted any of it; a thread a model named says so; every line opens the tape
