Early reading. We have captured 3 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 566 interactions against 266K followers, an engagement rate of 0.212%. Posts are seen about 14K times each, and 3.97% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.35% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 3 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 39K interactions. Recurring topics include #princeofpersia, #ubi40. Only 3 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 217,857 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 21,725 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 08:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video100% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link33% 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.
  • 33% 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 321 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.

    Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works. Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this." That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door. Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply. Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

    In 1985, I asked my brother David (age 15) to be the rotoscope model for my new game, Prince of Persia. 38 years later, I've made him a (present day) cartoon character in my new graphic novel memoir REPLAY. https://t.co/bsLWplOdYd Thanks, bro! @01FirstSecond @stripepress @princeofpersia

    Hi, I'm Jordan Mechner, creator of Prince of Persia. I've written and drawn a graphic novel, "Replay," that tells my story of four decades making games... and the story of my family. https://t.co/obzanuBTpZ https://t.co/UV77TvsC91

    Reporter: Zelenskyy says that Russia is giving Iran satellite imagery of US bases in the Gulf to help them target. What can you do about that? Trump: I'll ask Putin about it. I don't think they've been doing it—certainly not at a high level and if they have, it has been very unimpactful.

    If you recognize the Apple II retro gaming peripheral in this photo... you're one of the few!🕹️ And if you actually HAVE one, or know someone who does... Please contact me!! 💾 I'm looking for a 1980 VersaWriter, the graphic tablet I used to create the rotoscoped Karateka animations (and Roberta Williams used for her Sierra On-Line adventure games). Did anybody in the world save one? 🙏Sadly, I got rid of mine long ago. I drew the cartoon version below for my graphic novel memoir "Replay"; it can also be seen in @DigitalEclipse "The Making of Karateka". cc @cinemathequefr
