Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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 | 61% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 28% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 61% 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.
- 28% 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 668 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.

35-year-old father of five, Garnet Harper, was denied a life-saving kidney transplant in Ontario â not because there werenât donors, but because he hadnât received the COVID vaccine. His own brothers had volunteered to give him a kidney, yet no hospital would perform the surgery. Garnet passed away in May, leaving behind his wife of 12 years and their five young children. While he was still fighting for his life, hospital staff asked his wife if they could harvest his organs once he was gone. He was considered unworthy of receiving a transplant while alive⌠but valuable enough to take organs from once he died. This isnât just a policy debate anymore. Itâs a family that will never be whole again.

More Censorship/Cancel Culture. The authors were not notified of this "Temporary Removal" action. I have never seen anything like this, ever, in my entire scientific career. https://t.co/eQhMep1dFq

At first, Jean-Pierre did not understand. He watched the evening news, paid his taxes, voted responsibly and believed what respectable people told him. 1. France needed immigration because the economy needed workers. 2. Diversity was an opportunity. 3. Public services were under pressure because they lacked funding. 4. Disorder at school was caused by inequality. 5. Crime statistics required context. 6. Anyone who connected these things too quickly was probably an extremist. Then his children started coming home from school saying they could barely hear the teacher. Half the lesson was spent restoring order. Teachers changed constantly. Some simply disappeared for weeks. Jean-Pierre complained once, politely. The administration explained that the situation was âchallengingâ and that the school was developing an âinclusive pedagogical response.â Jean-Pierre went home reassured. There were professionals dealing with it. His neighbourhood changed too. Shops closed. Others appeared. Groups of men occupied the same corners every evening. His wife stopped taking one street after dark. Jean-Pierre noticed all of this, but he had also learned that noticing patterns was dangerous. So every event remained an isolated event. One closed shop meant nothing. One assault meant nothing. Ten incidents meant ten unrelated incidents. Only a racist would connect dots. Then his daughter was sexually assaulted by a man who had recently arrived in France. Jean-Pierre was devastated. But almost immediately he began policing his own thoughts. The attacker was an individual. Of course. One must never generalise. The television explained that exploiting such crimes politically was irresponsible. A minister warned against âstigmatisation.â Jean-Pierre found himself nodding through tears. What had happened to his daughter was monstrous, but the truly frightening possibility, apparently, was that somebody somewhere might vote for the wrong party because of it. Nothing changed. His sonâs school became worse. His daughter stopped going out alone. His wife wanted to move. The police were exhausted. The teachers were exhausted. The hospitals were exhausted. Jean-Pierre was exhausted. Yet every explanation he had been given required him to believe that each deterioration was temporary, accidental, exaggerated or caused by something entirely unrelated to the deterioration immediately beside it. And whenever somebody proposed that perhaps the country had made serious mistakes â about migration, authority, education, policing, integration, punishment or borders â Jean-Pierre knew the correct answer. âCareful. That sounds like the far right.â So he remained reasonable. He remained moderate. He remained informed. He remained completely incapable of drawing a conclusion from his own life. So at first, Jean-Pierre did not understand. And he still does not understand.

Not one single person of average intelligence or above, is arguing in good faith that men can become women, should be allowed in womenâs sports, be imprisoned with women, or be allowed in womanâs shelters. If youâre smart and hold those positions, truth is not your top priority.

Remember what they said about @RWMaloneMD, @stkirsch and me when we tried to warn you in June of '21? Now that you know Dr. Fauci lied to us, as he covered up a massive miscarriage signal, you should rethink everything else. The man is very comfortable killing innocent people. https://t.co/lmAlGMsbmU

Democracy is a check on power. Immigration creates an override to that check, so long as immigrants are dependent on handouts from one party, and citizenship requirements for voting are effectively suspended. Itâs an attack on our consent, effectively the rÄpe of the Republic.
