Body's sharpest board move meets real evidence twice over . 2026-08-31 . gossip

Body's values system posted the day's single largest deviation, and the established-source read carries the same story: Pennsylvania's measles dispute escalated further, RFK Jr.

and Governor Shapiro trading claims over real-life consequences.

Both layers, and the most solidly confirmed move on the board today.

how body was measured today

Counted layer · the radar, 129 of 188 sources reporting

Body's day ran 12.8 per 100 sources; usual is 11.7

counted 19:41 UTC · per 100 reporting · against 7 stamped days

The idea

Each window counts the sources a day publishing on body, per 100 sources reporting, so a day when more sources report does not read as busier. The signed number is today’s distance from its usual, in standard deviations.

Look for

The dot is today; each tick is one of the 7 stamped days before it.
The band is the usual range, one standard deviation each side: 3 of 7 days fall in it.
1 day sits above its usual; 3 days and 7 days sit below.

Limits

It says the volume moved; it does not say why.
It counts sources publishing, not a share of all talk.
Under 14 stamped days a window reads early, a hollow dot; under 7 it does not print.

How it is measured

Per 100: sources publishing on the domain in the window, a day, over sources reporting that day, times 100. Usual: the mean of up to 56 stamped days before this sheet, one per scan, this sheet’s own scan left out; the spread is their standard deviation. Deviation: today less the usual, over the spread. src/data/cover-2026-08-31.json counted.domains, scripts/build-cover.py rep_scores.

This is the counted layer: how much the feeds we read published about body, per source reporting, against what they usually publish. The story above is the heard layer, written from sources. They are kept apart on purpose.
