Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 2 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 210 interactions against 267K followers, an engagement rate of 0.078%. Posts are seen about 9.1K times each, and 2.29% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.42% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 103K interactions, about 492x its own typical post. Only 2 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 22:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 991 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

10 years ago Pizzagate was by far the number one trending topic on twitter, but the claim of pedophile elites who preyed on children was so insane that Pizzagate was shrugged off as was a wild, fever dream, of a conspiracy theory. But then, just days ago… the largest dump of Epstein files revealed what some of us had been telling you for a decade, that Pizzagate is real. Not that there is a pizza parlor at the center of a child trafficking ring. But child trafficking rings run by some of the most powerful people in the world do exist. Tonight , I want to remind you of what I told you then and compare that to what we have now learned.

NSA WHISTLEBLOWER SOUNDS THE ALARM ON META’S REAL-TIME SPY AI GLASSES Two Harvard students built “I-XRAY,” a project that pairs Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses with AI to scan faces in real time, search Facebook and Instagram for a match, and then send the wearer that person’s profile. Once it finds a profile, the system can search the open internet, including voter-registration sites, for a person’s phone number, home address, email, and family members. Flock cameras already raise alarms over surveillance. But they stay fixed in one place. Meta’s AI glasses move with the wearer, can scan inside buildings, and may leave people unaware they’re being watched. If just one-tenth of Americans wore them daily, roughly 35 million people could be scanning the public at once, collecting an unprecedented stream of personal data. The danger is not just the technology. Your information, much of it collected without your control, could become instantly accessible to strangers in real time, with no meaningful way to opt out. NSA whistleblower @Thomas_Drake1 sounds the alarm on these walking surveillance machines and the constitutional questions they raise.

U.S.–CANADA TRADE WAR: WHO REALLY PAYS THE PRICE? Canada is hitting back with dollar-for-dollar tariffs after the Trump administration imposed new 50% duties on Canadian goods. Ottawa’s response targets roughly $20 billion in American products, from steel and dairy to appliances, electronics, and agricultural equipment. As tensions rise, President Trump is responding in his own way: floating a plan to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” But behind the political theater is a serious question: who actually absorbs the cost of a tariff war? Are tariffs leverage against foreign governments, or hidden taxes that hit consumers, workers, and American companies caught in the middle? David Morgan (@silverguru22) joins me to break down how tariffs and sanctions are reshaping trade, geopolitics, and everyday prices.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 210 interactions against 267K followers, an engagement rate of 0.078%. Posts are seen about 9.1K times each, and 2.29% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.42% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 103K interactions, about 492x its own typical post. Only 2 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.
