Gray, Gays, Trump, & Paris - The Year In News
Freddie Gray, gay marriage, Donald Trump and the Paris attacks. Those were among the biggest news topics of conversation for Americans on Twitter in 2015, according to an analysis by Echelon Insights, a research and intelligence firm.
By analyzing 459.9 million tweets from Americans over the course of the last year, we can now see what topics trended, along with the timing and magnitude of each trending topic.
To ensure that trending news stood out, Echelon Insights removed some of the data outliers related to perennial conversations that get mentions, including President Obama (55 million mentions) and the Republican and Democratic parties. With that filter applied, the most discussed person or issue in the news this year was Donald Trump, with 43 million U.S. mentions, followed by Hillary Clinton, with 31.5 million.
And, as The Washington Post reports, as a reminder, here is what 2014 looked like...

Signal to noise ratio, and the noise is winning.....
The only people who tweet are twats.
I know there was a US/Zion-sponsored coup in Ukraine, but holy shit, Russia invaded the Crimea?
I would have thought they 'retained' it or reclaimed it, or refused it to be taken from them, but turns out they invaded it?
I guess that whole 'historically part of Russia' and 'naval base at Sebastopol' were just figments of my imagination?
Those who buy the Soros-Obama butt buddy nonsense of the NWO still call the Crimea reunification an "invasion" fyi...

Come unveil your present:

Only 200,000 citizens of Ukraine can remove a president who was elected by a majority of 45,000,000 Ukrainians.
However, 95% of over 2,000,000 Crimeans can not vote to unify with Russia.
This is the unacceptable hypocrisy of the United States and its EU butt lickers and the reason why the status quo ante of our planet must be destroyed.
didnt hear much about this story.....
''Since early October 2015, Israeli army forces have killed 142 Palestinians including 27 minors and seven women; in addition to 15,620 Palestinians who were injured during clashes with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health''

I think I've nailed it for next year as 2016 is going to be called:
2016 JohnGaltFLA’s 60 Insane Predictions: The Year of The Big SuckI have to agree with KnuckleDragger-X. Signal to noise ratio with noise dominating.
What the fuck do I care what these twitter (twats) have to say about anything? Does anyone think the majority of these twats (twits??) are actually informed about ANY of the subject matter? Most of these mouth breathers don't even know what planet they are on.
And speaking of the subject matter, I see very little to nothing regarding sound money, the federal reserve, corrupt Vichy D.C., greedy bankers, endless wars, and foreign invasion of this country. Of course talk like that would probably get you banned or un-friended or un-personed or whatever.
I wouldn't know.
pointless and shortsighted griping on your part.
twitter, like email, tv, tyipng a letter, or just talking to people, is a form of communication, nothing more and nothing less.
there's a lot of crap on twitter, but that's no different than anywhere else.
if you're not skilled in determining what's worth reading and what's not, well, that's kinda your problem, not anyone else's.
i particularly like snowden on twitter.
I'm moving...asap
Gas grass or ass... Nobody rides for free... Unless you are a lib soldier in the FREE SHIT ARMY who putts from the rough!
You mean senior citizens?
I realize this looks like I'm trying to make a terrible joke. But no:

From what I see from their mission statement...
.
We are a nonpartisan research and policy institute. We pursue federal and state policies designed both to reduce poverty and inequality and to restore fiscal responsibility in equitable and effective ways. We apply our deep expertise in budget and tax issues and in programs and policies that help low-income people, in order to help inform debates and achieve better policy outcomes."
.
Looks like part of the Free Shit Army to me...
It's actually worse Donald... Tribe members have a knack for co-opting so-called 'minority' groups, or as otherwise euphemistically known, 'low-income Americans' and turning them towards their Marxists goals. Amazing talent it is...
Possibly. But until I see something else (and I've really looked hard) that has sited it's sources and shows the research to back up the numbers (like my example) then I have nothing else to go on. Do I?
You should know that already though. You are reading ZH. Which by the way does a fantastic job of siting and proving their numbers are tangable. At least most the time. I would expect most the readers here to at least look for that when they are reading articles. This isn't Yahoo, CNN, or Fox; These guys actually prove shit.
Not a blip about the decaying economy and bloated government spending.
No surprise there.
The economy and the Fed are unlabeled ripples (if that). Maybe next year will be different.
Where are Hillary's peaks? LOL.
2016 should be great... it's an election year. What could go wrong?
ATTN: The NYC division of the #BLM will be demonstrating at Times Square tonight protesting the use of the, "White Times Square Ball."
They demand as thier civil right to have an equal [or Bigger] Black Time Square Ball.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Square_Ball
All those interested please gather at Safe Space 206 near the CBS building 30 minutes before the protest begins. Free refrshments afterwards including Mexican burritos, Vietnamese eggs rolls, Chinese noodles, Ukrainian perogies and Polish sausage.
and chipolte
Cass Sunstein will be on hand to check for PC. Ethinic Food graciously provided by students from Oberline College.
Deez Nutts has already responded syaing he'll come only if they protest for a pair of 40DD white tits on New Year's instead of the white ball.
Figure one minute per Tweet, 459,900,000 Tweets, 7,665,000 hours, or 319,375 days, or 875 years wasted.
Words of the day: TAX LOSS SELLING
Holy shit we are stupid.
George Carlin said it best all those years ago.

No sight of the words 'Kardashian Ass'? this can't be an up to date word-grahm.
The sheeple's topics of interest are few.
Just don't lose faith in FIAT, because it is the ONLY thing holding this charade up.
Graphics look like a big gay coogi sweater pattern; unicorn puke if you will.
Oh thtop it...
They omitted Angelina Jolie's tits.
Ok, now I'm interested.
What does it matter? (to appropriate Hillary's phrase) Trump is not going to get the Republican nomination. And if he did, that's what the Dems are praying for.
I know because that is what all the talking heads have been telling us, the same ones that keep telling us Obama is wonderful and the economy is getting better. And they can't be wrong, . . . can they?
The most positive thing I see is that Bruce/Cate is the most popular Kardashian...
Maybe they will finally disappear
