01 Half-Life → Political slogans decay. Thirty years of them, measured — when each phrase arrived, when it peaked, and the exact sentence it died in. 02 The Reading Age of Power → Every press release scored for reading difficulty and administered as an eye test. It has never been harder to read your own government. ✱ Notes → The findings, one page — every claim with its evidence, method and links to the source releases.
