Humboldt University Map of Hate (http://users.humboldt.edu/mstephens/hate/hate_map.html#)
QuoteThe Geography of Hate is part of a larger project by Dr. Monica Stephens of Humboldt State University (HSU) identifying the geographic origins of online hate speech. Undergraduate students Amelia Egle, Matthew Eiben and Miles Ross, worked to produce the data and this map as part of Dr. Stephens' Advanced Cartography course at Humboldt State University.
The data behind this map is based on every geocoded tweet in the United States from June 2012 - April 2013 containing one of the 'hate words'. This equated to over 150,000 tweets and was drawn from the DOLLY project based at the University of Kentucky. Because algorithmic sentiment analysis would automatically classify any tweet containing 'hate words' as "negative," this project relied upon the HSU students to read the entirety of tweet and classify it as positive, neutral or negative based on a predefined rubric. Only those tweets that were identified by human readers as negative were used in this analysis.
Proud to say that Champaign, IL, isn't that bad. Go an hour south and it's pretty pathetic, though.
No matter where I am, I'm always in the most hateful city in the world.
Not surprised Baltimore's light on the map. We don't Tweet, we shoot.
Yeah we covered this recently in the OT thread - maybe Monday?
Pretty lame map considering that once you zoom out - the whole eastern half of the country is covered in hate.
DGul said something about normative data.
I rarely go to the OT thread. Thought it was kind of interesting. They also did a map on racist comments about Obama during the elections, I guess.

It's like pure Languish distilled into one small piece of the forum.

It's like Saturday Night Live of the 1990s. Most weeks were shit, but once in a blue moon, there was a diamond. I don't have time to wait for the diamond.
George Carlin registers his disdain that one can no longer say "cripple".

Utah is pretty free from hate. :)
The map seems to be a bit off. You get big burst of hate from places were there are no towns.

You can still use it as a verb.
Or to describe Tim and Ed. :nelson:
Why hasn't someone merged this thread with the OT thread? Jesus Fucking Christ on a popsicle stick.

Ask Seedy, he has a lot of time on his hands...
I'm busy writing version 8.1 of the same cover letter.

There ya go PDH, a big FUCK YOU!
That was like a hate tweet.
map sucks
The bloom over Reno is solely caused by my hatred of all mankind. Also, you easterners are terrible people. The Rocky Mountains are the hate-killers.
The biggest amount of hate in Wyoming is a patch of desert southwest of Green River.
I blame the mormons.

You ever been there? I am quite sure the US Army fired off several of their nuclear artillery rounds down that way already.
Wonder what a Languish hate map would look like. I'm guessing there'd be a bright red plume over Baltimore.
I'd use mirrors for optical amplification and focus it all directly at Cincinnati, but you'd just use your forehead like Wonder Woman's bracers to deflect it and I'd just wind up evaporating poor MiM by accident. You bastard.
