Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 30 June 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
The Israelis have clearly avoided targeting Esmail Qaani, and I doubt the memes about him being a Mossad operative are entirely organic in nature. They're being utilized to sow distrust and paranoia within the IRGC, likely in tandem with Pahlavi's claim about the QR code being broadcast on Iran International. But I think the broader game they're playing is to turn the mullahs and the military against each other. I…
Second fatwa emphasizes that the first covers any assault or threat upon Shia religious authority. The ayatollah who issued this one goes on to ask Allah to hasten the reappearance of the 12th Imam (Mahdi) and bring about the end of days. And people wonder why Iran shouldn't be allowed to have a nuclear program!
I stand by my assertion that Khamenei is most likely dead. Trump wouldn't suddenly get poetic about the number 12 for no reason -- I think they went in for an extraction, and something went awry. There could have been an accident or a medical incident, or he may have given instructions to the people around him. It's also entirely possible he was assassinated by the Israelis or another goddamned Navy SEAL. Neither…
Probably not helpful, particularly if Khamenei really does turn out to be dead.
Not trying to get conspiratorial, but the world has been wondering where the fuck Khamenei was, and the only thing state TV had to say was that people should pray for his health. Now we suddenly get 54 *unique* proof-of-life tweets between his 5 accounts in the span of a few hours, and a video drops that appears to have been recorded from inside the bunker no later than Monday. Stranger still, right after the Regim…
01/25/25 NUKES Israelis agree with the Trump Admin: the strikes were effective, and it will take them years to rebuild. Media reports to the contrary are based on a low-confidence DIA preliminary assessment. . TRUMP ADMIN They're still fumbling to disentangle themselves from the earlier endorsements of MIGA and regime change and saying it was always just about the nuclear program. Not a word of support for th…

01/24/25 I think Trump was told to expect something within that 12-24 hour window that simply did not happen. I can't think of any other explanation for those victory laps last night, throwing around Pahlavi's MIGA slogan, nor why he would tell NBC, "I don’t believe they will ever be shooting at each other again". https://archive.vn/6Nqbr As of this morning the Admin began fumbling to disentangle themselves from …
Iranian diaspora is scared and confused, but a ceasefire on the Regime side first allows Israel time to "finish the job". It sounds like they're getting ready for a handover.
Medvedev won't call them out by name, but it's clear who he's referring to. Russia's surest path to getting rid of Xi is by stoking fears in Beijing of nuclear war and economic devastation.
Medvedev obviously wasn't talking about Russia, so I assume this is Trump's way of challenging him to name which countries (or really, country) he was actually referring to.
this is what i meant about the russians going back to being russians: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1936725544017567860.html immediately following the attack, medvedev switches from raising the alarm about the nuclear threat and praising trump to claiming the attack was ineffective and that trump has only made iran more dangerous than it already was. i don't think the primary objective is to undermine confide…
Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @basedlindsey. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 856,207 of 1,549,704entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 15 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
