Engagement
18 posts held, back to 14 November 2022 — 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 pageof 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 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 26 June 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

Just ordered the new computer (it took this long for the funds to transfer). I opted for a Lenovo Legion 5i per recommendations from friends and followers. Oddly enough, it was cheaper to buy it from Lenovo's store on Amazon then from Lenovo directly. Specs: - Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7-255HX - Memory: 32 GB DDR5 (expandable up to 64 GB, like that's ever happening; thanks, AI) - SSD: 1 TB (also includes a portab…
Thank you again! One week after I launched the fundraiser, you've sent in $2,400 in donations, exceeding the goal. Per my promise, I'll be putting the additional funds towards a higher-quality laptop. I'll be closing the fundraiser at the end of today and withdrawing the funds tomorrow or Tuesday (more recent donations are still processing) to buy the computer. Once again, thank you all for supporting my work throug…
Bad news: my computer is dying and I need help to replace it so I can keep creating the content you love. The thermal interface is failing, which is causing overheating and throttling in the form of random freezes and crashes that are making it increasingly difficult to do basic tasks, let alone things like video editing. I was hoping to replace the computer in a few months, but the problem is so bad now it's impact…
Forgot I had this Telegram channel. I'm streaming in about 90 minutes (6PM Eastern/3PM Pacific) on the Trump/Elon Musk divorce, my new show SOCIETY OF SENSATION, DELTARUNE, and more. Send a Streamlabs or Donorbox tip (links in replies) and I'll read it when I go live.

NEW THIS WEEK: so long, I had to split it in half. Why did talk radio die? How does a once-famous radio host fall so far he gets dunked on by Mike Cernovich on Twitter? These stories and more, coming up. No traffic or weather. Look that up yourself. https://mattforney.substack.com/p/voices-part-2
NEW THIS WEEK: a piece I wrote for another project, edited and resurrected. It's the story of how talk radio died. Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern, Michael Savage: names that mattered once. At the center, a RICK AND MORTY actor who symbolized it all. https://mattforney.substack.com/p/voices-part-1
NEW THIS WEEK: the Internet is DEAD, anon. ChatGPT is just the beginning. It's a tale of rogue AI e-girls, DARPA data-harvesting projects, and legalized propaganda. And it's been going on for well over a decade. THE ELECTRIC CAMEL RIDES AGAIN. https://mattforney.substack.com/p/internet
I've started a Substack blog for occasional articles that don't fit at Terror House or other sites, since I've accumulated a ton of them over the past year. More important article tomorrow, but here's something I wrote about the death of Ted Kaczynski: https://mattforney.substack.com/p/ted The Substack is monetized, but I don't plan on paywalling anything (unless I need to keep it off the open Internet for some reas…

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @mattforney. 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.
Forward network
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
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.
