Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 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.

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 | 83% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 16% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 83% 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.
- 16% 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 547 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.

BREAKING - This mother and daughter paid $1,000 per ticket to attend today’s Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream game at State Farm Arena, specifically to see Sophie Cunningham — a woman they respect and admire for taking a clear stance against biological men in women’s sports. They wore XX/XY shirts in support of that same message. The back of the daughter’s shirt simply read “For the girls.” Arena staff gave them two options: cover the shirts or leave. They were handed shirts to put on over their own. Earlier in the game, a woman wearing a “Protect Trans Rights” shirt was prominently featured on the Jumbotron. Only after receiving that stadium spotlight was she also told to cover her shirt. A women’s league run by women decided a shirt saying “For the girls” was too offensive and controversial to wear. Meanwhile, State Farm Arena will put a pro-trans message on the big screen — but won’t allow a shirt that states a basic biological truth. The WNBA and stadiums like State Farm Arena continue to be a national embarrassment.

It's been reported that Labour's new farming minister fainted 'at the sight of meat' while touring a beef freezer. I am going to formally invite the minister on a tour of a halal slaughterhouse with me, and other willing MPs, to witness true horror. He will vomit a kidney.

I was working on my book of Islamic humour today and was disappointed that so many of them were about raping non-muslim women and throwing gays off the top of high buildings There was a clever one about a woman being stoned, though Tomorrow I'm looking at all the old gags about clitorectomies

JULIAN ASSANGE: "The goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war." War is a taxation based money laundering racket for the transnational security elite - it matters very little to them whether it's in Ukraine or Afghanistan, the goal is theft of public money. https://t.co/rKBiSVZty3
