Gini measures how unevenly sightings pile onto a few families.

Sightings count reposts; families count each composite once. A gap between the two means a few left-hand composites got posted many times.

Doom พาดหัวสยอง

Doom = weighted alarm words (recall, toxic, ban, cancer, autism…) over the square root of the headline's length. The test below compares each wall with the RFK-only wall: probability of superiority and the Mann–Whitney p.
