Posting timing
This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Saturday 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 | 76% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 37% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 76% 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.
- 37% 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 251 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.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We don’t live in capitalism. We live in corporate socialism. If you’re a corporation, you can buy a politician to get that politician to rig the system for you so you make more money and you ex out every other market in which you compete. You need good healthcare. You need a good education. We need childcare. We need good roads and bridges. We don’t need to send our money to big corporations to subsidize them, we need to be invested in people so they have the human capital to be able to do all the things as they graduate and come out”

“What ‘multiculturalism’ boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture—and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture.” — Thomas Sowell

Scott Jennings: “I opened up my social media algorithm this morning, Maria, to find that the principal spokesperson for the Democratic Party, Hasan Piker, was leading a rally last night… to celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk.” https://t.co/AFQfZ4s6Km If you're celebrating someone's death because you disagree with them, you've already lost the argument. A free society requires learning how to disagree without wishing death on your political opponents.

Charlie Kirk: “If you’re studying economics and they’re not teaching Thomas Sowell, you’re not getting an education. You’re getting an indoctrination.” https://t.co/2Qbq8PfB6A Sowell teaches you to question the easy answers and look at the actual results. That's exactly what economics education should do.

“Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.” — Thomas Sowell

🚨 JUST IN: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent DROPS this ice cold line on Iran "In my life? I've killed LOTS of poisonous snakes." "Once the head is severed — the body can keep squirming. It eventually STOPS SQUIRMING. For a while, it doesn't know it's DEAD." "The head — YOU BURY THE HEAD." "That's what we are doing to this regime." "We are going to isolate them economically and they will have no choice." "They have gas lines, they have a hundred percent inflation, their currency is collapsed, the president of the country, the speaker of the parliament, the head of the central bank is already warning them — the Iranian people and their military leaders — they are sending out messages that they are in economic trouble."

Bill Maher at his best, taking a sledgehammer to the media establishment.https://t.co/VtuXXdr0oI He goes after the BBC for telling journalists that using the word “terrorist” can be a “barrier” to understanding. Maher’s response: “You know what’s really a barrier to understanding? Lying!” The audience absolutely loved it.
