Anger in the words of the stories about people being harmed

100 is its average over these days: 150 means half as much again. Measured over whole days, never one story. It moves with what the news was about as well as with its words: anger rises when more of it is about conflict and violence. Thin dashed line: the same with the mix of parts of life held at these days' own mix, so it moves only when the words within each part change. 30 days, 25 Sep to 24 Oct. Every point opens its day.
