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 5.2K interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.337%. Posts are seen about 1.8M times each, and 0.292% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 115.3% 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 18:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 192K interactions, about 37x 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. 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 18:00 UTC, and Sunday 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.

Thanks to all you lovely well-wishers. You put a spring in an old man’s step.

My advice, for what it’s worth: try not to be distracted by the faintly discourteous, the mildly incompetent, the harmlessly obnoxious. Roll with the delayed trains, dropped litter and misused apostrophes. Save your powder for the truly malevolent creatures now stalking the land.

I was lucky enough to spend some time with James Earl Jones. He was everything you might have hoped, and a fair bit more. Wise, kind, funny, impossibly handsome, with a voice that could have crumbled the walls of Jericho. It was such an honour.

Someone - and I wish I could remember who - once said that it’s much easier to trick a person than to persuade them that they’ve been tricked.

Huge congratulations to Norway. Especially the big fella. But so sad to see Brazil disappear - especially Vinícius Jnr…

Well heck. The Arsenal. What an amazing achievement. BPM 150, dropping slowly.

At the risk of igniting a firestorm of rage, invective, death threats etc., may I wish you all a happy new year?
