Why Audience Demographics Matter
Understanding who follows an account reveals the type of influence they hold. Accounts followed primarily by users with few followers indicate broad, mainstream appeal. Those with many high-follower followers have greater potential for content amplification through secondary sharing.
Account age distribution also tells a story: a follower base with many new accounts might indicate recent viral growth, while established followers suggest long-term, stable influence. Geographic data helps understand the cultural context and timezone spread of the audience.

Topical Analysis:
since this will come up a lot in media coverage of Tyre Nichols in Memphis: while I get that it seems narratively significant that the officers are black. Statistically, it is unsurprising. In tracking police violence, we never found that race of the officer made much difference
I’m not sure what the right answer is, but there is something untoward/icky about the spectacle of counting down to the video release like this.
a few thoughts on the videos of Tyre Nichols' killing by Memphis police...
Why didn't Tyre Nichols comply? Why did he run? It appears clear that he was scared and did not trust these police officers with his life. Their actions, as captured on video, proved him right.
RT @JonCampbellNY: Well, that’s certainly a statement. https://t.co/vjL1e6YMVM
