Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 7 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 126 interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Posts are seen about 41K times each, and 0.311% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.63% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 14% carry an image or video and 71% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 255 interactions, about 2.0x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #breakingground, #drc, #ebola. Only 7 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 15:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

"At the show were also seven wholesalers selling chocolate bars, crisps, and sweets, one of which had a display stand full of bags of Walkers crisps, Lucozade, Mars bars, and Kit Kats, with a sign saying “Please help yourself.” Five ice cream firms were present, four soft drinks companies, and other suppliers that make items including pizzas and cake mixes and confectionery vending machines."

BMJ is corrupt. Retracts the Mostert paper in violation of COPE guidelines. So you should put your trust what has been REMOVED from the journals, not what is in the journals.

“ For decades food companies have employed scientists to work out how to keep you eating without stopping long enough to remember you have a body... …By contrast, the selling point of Magnum’s new ice-creams seems to be they will keep you laser-focused on your own body.” A magnificent piece on ice cream in today’s @guardian by @kitty__drake - one of the best food articles I’ve read. https://t.co/gw7lclxfFH

"It will turbocharge inequality; it is already facilitating a breathtaking shift of power and wealth from the hands of the many to the hands of a tiny number of men who – to put it in terms for which I can’t be sued – seem to hold dangerously damaged views about the value and dignity of human life." Much needed piece by author and academic Katherine Rundell in the @Guardian on the effect of AI on kids. Do we need for the sort of approaches we are seeing with social media and other online harms? https://t.co/Ik1LmRJz78

I am working on an article about putting yourself out there as a writer or editor. Have you sought after something that felt unreachable? If so, I'd love to chat.
