Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Thursday 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 | 48% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 43% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 48% 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.
- 43% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 233 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal government have telling a state not to certify?

A new @Reuters/@Ipsos poll shows just 13% of Americans "strongly approve" of Trump. That's the lowest I've seen in a quality poll. It's just 35% of Republicans, too. https://t.co/N73qlTCvlY

As a young @nytimes Metro journalist on #9/11, I was at the base of the North tower, interviewing evacuating office workers, when the South tower fell. I dove into a subway station, was almost buried under bldg insulation, then spent the next 40 hours reporting at Ground Zero. /1

Absolutely incredible response from L.A. Registrar Dean Logan in response to the DOJ's last-minute election interference ploy. DOJ gave them a thumb drive and a handwritten password -- he says opening it would violate security protocols. https://t.co/MRQVRw7qtL
