Reddit's cottagecore board stayed quiet for a second day after its own multi-day hot run

The market layer's freshest contracts price data-center moratorium outcomes in Indiana and Missouri alongside the standing Cornell 7 felony-charge contract, a run of Oscar-category and next-James-Bond contracts, and the usual Elon Musk tweet-count markets.

Google Trends stayed sports-heavy on both sides of the Atlantic, NFL and MLB playoff matchups crowding US queries, World Cup qualifying fixtures crowding UK ones.

Across the board, every domain's 1-day reading ran negative, radar's own item count falling to roughly 2,430 in 36 hours from Sunday's 2,910, the third straight day of a quieter weekend-into-Monday trough; the 7-day trend lines, the Loom's real anchor, held their course regardless.
