All-sky-style chart of 37,988 Truth Social posts; x = hour posted Eastern, y = day of year, brightness = likes. Brightest: 410,837 likes on 2022-04-28.
The whole archive as a star chart: an Aitoff all-sky projection where each of the 37,988 posts is a star - its right ascension is the hour it was posted (Eastern Time), its declination the day of the year, its magnitude its likes.

X = hour posted ET, swept as right ascension (00h at the left edge, noon at center); Y = day of year as declination (Jan 1 at the top). Star size and brightness ∝ log(likes); color = kind (amber original, cyan retruth, off-white media, violet both). Arrow keys step through the 300 brightest stars; the readout shows the post behind each.
The chart has weather: a dense band of habitual evening posting, a midnight-to-3am scattering that never quite empties, and bright first-magnitude stars you can name from the readout alone - Butler, the midterms, the war's first nights.
This sky is a map of a calendar, not of the heavens: positions encode posting time only, and the projection is a display device. Hours use Eastern Time with DST as observed; year position uses UTC dates. Stars are square pixels - thousands overlap into the band you see.
