Hamilton

The big story has been about how the cast of Hamilton gave a small speech to Michael Pence, the vice president elect of the US. More on this story is available here:



I decided to use a different type of wordcloud today. In order to test it, I used a much smaller corpus of tweets, just 2000. Here is the wordcloud

 Clearly people are talking a lot about Pence and the cast but Trump shows up a lot too. This is because Trump decided to attack the cast on Twitter. The sentiment around this episode is unsurprisingly negative.

#PanamaPapers

Perhaps by now you must have heard about the biggest news of this year. A Panama based company Mossack Fonseca which helped create shell companies to many rich people around the world in order to do legal as well as illegal things (hiding taxable income, corruption money, etc.) sprouted a major leak. More than 11 million documents amounting to 2.6 TB were leaked to journalists. You can read everything about this here: http://panamapapers.sueddeutsche.de/en/ The size of the leak is enormous! Here is a graph for comparison: In light of this #panamapapers hashtag has been trending today. I downloaded more than 200K tweets but only around 34,000 were original and rest were retweets. Here are the wordcloud and sentiment graph

#SanBernadino Update

This is an update on the San Bernardino shooting. When I created the last post , I had downloaded the tweets before the shooters were identified. People were blaming NRA for the shooting. Now that the killers have been identified as Muslims, suddenly Twitter is blaming all the Muslims! Well, that's reflected in the wordcloud: The sentiment is still neutral though.

#SanBernadino

Update: Check the companion wordcloud for this here Even as I write this, the events are still unfolding in San Bernardino. Two or possibly three gunmen killed 14 innocent people. You can read up more here: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/03/us/san-bernardino-shooting.html or here: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-bernardino-shooting-live-updates-htmlstory.html Anyway, the most trending hashtag is misspelt! It's worth noticing that at this point NRA was quite common. This is because up to this point people were blaming NRA for the tragedy. This has changed since I downloaded the tweets, however! The sentiment for the hashtag is surprisingly neutral. I say surprisingly because now the hastag has become very toxic as the shooters are identified as Muslims. Suddenly there are so many xenophobic comments that I am sure the sentiment would be quite negative now.
