Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 1 original post 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 819 interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.069%. Posts are seen about 183K times each, and 0.448% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 15.5% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 24K interactions, about 29x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 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.

Your reminder that if West Ham are relegated today, then next season will be the first season in the entire 138-year history of the English top flight without a team beginning with the letter W.
- Jan 7, 202618x their median
Worth noting that if Wolves and West Ham do both go down, then next season will be the first in its entire 137 year history that there will be no clubs beginning with W in the English top flight. (UNLESS, of course, Watford, Wrexham or West Brom go up.)

Thank you for all your kind words as I step down from #HouseOfGames after 9 amazing years. It is honestly the most fun show to work on, with the most wonderful team, but, after 800 episodes it's time to hand over the keys to a new host. There are plenty of new episodes still to air though, and I'll even be filming one final handover week later in the year! It really has been a treat from start to finish.

A peak of nearly 17m for the England match, after midnight. That's some going.

England is the only country to ever win the men's World Cup that doesn't share a land border with another country that has won a men's World Cup. Norway and Morocco are the only teams left which could join that list this year.

To the fine folk at the Harrogate Crime Festival today, I'm sorry I can't be with you, but I have left some money behind the bar for you all to enjoy a drink on me. Just use the password 'BRASS MONKEY' in honour of Steve's favourite pub in the 'We Solve Murders' books. Have fun! @HarrogateFest
