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.

Yes, you can wear an N95 and still get COVID, especially with BA.5. But that doesn't mean masks don't work. You can also die in a car crash wearing a seat belt, but that doesn't mean seat belts don't work. Masks reduce the odds of infection. Be probabilistic, not fatalistic.

8 yr old: I’m confused about they/them pronouns. Me (ready for Serious Parenting): OK, what are you confused about? 8 yr old: When do you use they and when do you use them? Yep, it was a grammar question. He understood the rest. The kids get it.

I didn’t do any work over the holidays, but I maintained a high level of stress and inadequate sleep so I could ease the transition back.

Going remote for a few days is not school closure. Wearing a higher quality mask is not lockdown. Giving people access to free tests is not shutting down the economy. Can we acknowledge that there is something between doing nothing and returning to spring 2020? Then do it?

1. So much hostility and confusion from people who saw me (on a Zoom) wearing a mask in my office this week! The question is: Am I crazy, am I virtue signaling, am I fear mongering, or is there some rationale to wear a mask in a private office? Let’s discuss! 🧵
