Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 6 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 1.7K interactions against 628K followers, an engagement rate of 0.266%. Posts are seen about 221K times each, and 0.755% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 35.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 67% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.3K interactions, about 4.4x its own typical post. Only 6 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 00:00 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.

An anti-genocide, anti-Zionist, pro-M4A, DSA member just won a statewide primary in FLORIDA after being out-fundraised 16 to 1. Absolutely stunning. Congrats @AngieNixon

Looks like the WH put out the bat signal in the influencer groupchat because hit dogs are hollerin'. Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" is causing a nuclear-level MAGA meltdown and a lot of inference is happening from just 3 words, so Trump's camp seems to be telling on him. Yikes. https://t.co/q0oea75imt

I didn’t expect them to be upset over the bike helmet video but here we are: Lahren: I think it's also insulting to the New Yorkers out there who are genuinely worried about their physical safety not because of lack of a bike helmet but just because the state of New York City, and the safety problems that exist for Jewish New Yorkers. He's laughing in the face of all the people that are legitimately scared, riding the subways, in the parks, they are worried about the homeless crisis, the drug crisis, you name it, and he puts on a helmet. This is the problem. There are so many people habitually online and they see a fun little video, a young man…

The main thing I have to say to the young generation of Americans is that your grandparents and great-grandparents committed a kind of accounting fraud when they ran our country a century ago with social security, and at the time it was a reasonable affordance to grant our leaders, who were dealing with an economic depression and a world war, but nonetheless they did commit the fraud, and they ended up buying all sorts of extravagant things using the fraudulent gains, including what became the thing we now understand to be the high-modern technocratic nation-state, and that is glorious and also bad and all that, but the thing is there’s still the issue about the accounting fraud, whose debt is coming due and is coming due fast. It is best to consider this with as minimal residue of sentiment as possible, to really sit with it, to stare it coldly in the face. Unwinding the great fraud of the high modernists is your job, whether you wish it to be or not.
