A weather service reads weather. This reads culture, from what people already say in public.
readtheloom reads eight domains: tech, fashion, music, food, language, work, relationships and body. Once a day it harvests public posts, articles, reviews, forecasts and search trends across all eight, scores each domain against its own baseline, and publishes the result here with the items it was computed from.
Every score carries the confidence it was computed at, measured or thin, and links to the harvest behind it. Most of the current run is thin. The station shows which.
One cultural move per issue, traced back to the items it was read from. Sent daily.
