Topic

Health & wellness — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 18 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 43% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

14 measurements spanning 49 days, net -27. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 1,131–1,166 and does not start at zero.

Engagement

20 posts held, back to 11 March 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 5 August 2024. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Reaction mix

181 reactions across 20 posts, in 8 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 34.8% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 181 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 11 March 2024 to 5 August 2024, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

So we are not working only for older people, for people of all ages. With so many people living for longer, there's an opportunity to plug employment gaps in a shrinking workforce.

09:48 So in some individuals, as they get older, the actual size of the brain will get smaller. And that decrease in size will, or seems to occur specifically in areas of the brain that are important for cognitive function. So older adults may experience memory lapses or a decreased ability to multitask or even behavioral changes. They may become more anxious or feel depressed. But it's important to stress that not a…

And so the dynamic is quite interesting for poor countries that are energy-scarce that the power requirements of AI and digital infrastructure can be less of a threat and more of an opportunity to actually build out this infrastructure and start plugging these energy access gaps. And even better, bearing in mind what our first two witnesses have said about the environmental costs of AI. 17:41 The energy that many Af…

It takes even more power to use AI to produce funny pictures or folk songs in the style of Taylor Swift. And that's power that could be used for something else. Or even better, considering how much electricity we still produce from carbon-heavy fuels, not at a…

Now if you look a lot further in the future where we have artificial super intelligence, the AI might come up with finding ways to extract energy from thin air.

08:56 How can we use alternative energy sources, renewable energy, such as solar, such as thermal energy. But in actual fact, we simply aren't increasing the amount of renewable sources into the grid to meet the increasing demands that are particularly coming from the technology sector.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @bbc_inquiries_with_texts. 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.

Mentions

Names

Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
