Compared with accounts its own size
Mehdi Hasan's engagement rate beats 72% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,847 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 48% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 23:00 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.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life. This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Doss: The strait of hormuz was not closed before this war. Jennings: It’s not closed now. Phillip: I want you to actually answer that question, because this is just emblematic of like a broader glossing over of reality. If you're claiming the strait of hormuz is open, why are there only ten tankers coming through the strait now? Jennings: We don’t need as many to go through right now. Ultimately it doesn't matter, because we have a figured out how to move oil out of the region. Phillip: So why haven’t gas prices gone down?

Bill Maher: “Jason Arday… he was the first Black professor at Cambridge… the youngest… really he was GUILTY of plagiarism and all sorts of incredible lies, and because [the left] is so captivated by DEI and wanting this. They just let it pass… It’s the soft bigotry of LOW expectations.” New York Times’ Jeremy Peters: “They IGNORED the glaring red flags like grammatical errors in his thesis and things in his back story that just didn’t add up, like running 30 marathons in 35 days.” *Audience Laughs* “Cambridge has a LOT of explaining about how they seemed to have really cynically used this person who was obviously struggling with mental illness to FURTHER their diversity and inclusion goals.” Bill Maher: “He said he ran the marathons with a broken leg... It’s like a prank! Like can we make liberals, who want to believe this, actually do it, and they did.” “White people are crazy.”

Islamophobia is a problem among both Democrats and Republicans. The silence in Michigan among state leaders while one of the largest cities in the state is being terrorized by Islamophobes is shameful.

- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.045%, Mehdi Hasan sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,320 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @mehdirhasan have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 72% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,847 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @mehdirhasan post?
- Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 22.03 posts per day across the measured window.
