Sorry to keep this conversation going, people make posts that I feel I can reply to but if the conversation is too industry-specific and narrow, I'm happy to drop it... because this is my field, it's interesting to me and I have a lot of opinions but I always imagine this stuff would be boring to outsiders

:justpost:

I don't have much to contribute on the topic, but it is fascinating to hear an insider perspective on an industry I don't know much about.

This brought back way more cosy memories of the year than my Spotify thingo. Thanks Auspol thread; thanks Urcher.

Oops, fixed.

Your welcome.

Do you generate these yourself or do you source them from somewhere...? You may have answered this question in a previous iteration of the thread, but I'd love to know more. (You can link to a post if you've explained it before)

I wrote some python scripts that scrape the Auspol thread, compare the words from this month to last month, and spit out a list of words and sizes. Then I plug it in to https://www.wordclouds.com/ to make the picture.

Oh it's just us then...? I thought it might have been media wide. Nice job though.

Thanks.

Auspol is special. It's just us.

Seeing what Tasmania says in each month's word cloud has been one of life's little highlights these past several years. Appreciate the effort.

:)

I aim to please. Ask I need is for everyone to keep posting words for the word cloud.

Labor made promises to make the IRC independent

This is too little, too late, from Labor. Everyone has moved to Discord.

Cyclists should be waiting at the lights with everyone else though.

Good chat.

Yes, but a cyclist can wait to go straight from the left lane and would be run over by the truck that is looking right while turning left.

is having words inside the boundaries of bigger words new?

It's been happening since the very first word cloud, though it's been more obvious in the last year or so since I tweaked everything to make the biggest words bigger.
