Measured over 4 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 24, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 4 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 1.6K interactions against 438K followers, an engagement rate of 0.372%. Posts are seen about 190K times each, and 0.857% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 43.4% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 25% carry an image or video and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.4K interactions, about 5.1x its own typical post. Only 4 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 23:00 UTC, and Sunday 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 | 25% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 75% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 25% 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.
- 75% 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 291 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.

Most writers don't admit to mistakes, much less publicize them so that we can all benefit. Nikole Hannah-Jones (@nhannahjones) has done both of those things with this powerful essay. I do not agree with every word (or with some underlying assumptions), but she deserves nothing but praise for bringing her daughter's story to light. Read and share widely! https://t.co/LrBr2RiFdM

People are dragging Nikole Hannah-Jones for this, but I think this piece is incredible. Trying to live your values, discovering it’s not working and having an open conversation with your kid about that is eminently laudable — Pubbing about it even more so. https://t.co/aMJuKt9QnR

Bumble, the dating site founded on the idea of letting women initiate now allows men to make the first move because it's what their members' wanted. Not encouraging if your proposed solution to the lack of dating/relationships is women initiating more. https://t.co/zaqCM7keGC

People with borderline personality disorder aren't driven by the fear of abandonment. That's the lie we tell ourselves. The point of a system is what it does. The BPD yearns to be abandoned. Everything they do is engineered to drive people away, to engender suffering for themselves, so they can tell themselves a grand narrative about the pain of existence, their worthlessness, their badness. They are desperate to prove that all joy is a lie, something that is only given to be taken away, a cruel game inflicted by the earth. They want to get rid of anything that can hurt them so they never have to hurt again. They want to finally reach the end of this miserable storg, having destroyed their relationships, all alone, with nothing worthwhile, so that they can discover the hurt continues. Because they didn't lose everything. They still have themselves. And that's when they discover the last source of hurt is their own continued existence, and the only way to be truly safe is to kill themselves. BPDs don't fear abandonment. They want to create the perfect suicide.

Now that we know (with certainty) that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemings, it is funny to look back on the (pre-DNA era) arguments that "experts" came up with to deny that this could be true. So naive... https://t.co/nK3rqAJLgB

These Rory Stewart memes are genuinely hilarious. However, he is also a fairly impressive person, whether or not you agree with his politics. Walking across half the middle east is no small feat. I interviewed him a few years back. https://t.co/8Tdg0B08Ht
