Proud of the @NSF & @vermont_epscor support for the @uvmvermont people and partners using data science and digital humanities methods to better understand and harness the power of stories. Maybe this moment will register clearly on the @hedonometer!

Finally, @compstorylab showed just how much the overall sentiment on Twitter dropped after news of the Uvalde shooting spread. Thanks to @ChrisDanforth @peterdodds and team there.

The horrific elementary school shootings at Sandy Hook and Uvalde.
Almost ten years apart.
The collective negative emotional reactions on Twitter have very similar word use patterns.
Through Hedonometerās lens: The story is the same.

A few (of a long list of) caveats: Through Twitter, the Hedonometer gives a ādistant measureā of a population. Weāre grouping tweets by language only, not geography. And Twitter is a complicated space of people and not-people.
