Orrery of 37,988 Truth Social posts on five annual rings, 2022-2026. Per year: 2022: 3,889; 2023: 9,905; 2024: 10,587; 2025: 6,229; 2026 to Nov 8: 7,378.
The archive as an orrery: five year-rings, 2022 innermost to 2026 outermost, and every post a body placed at its day-of-year angle - the whole posting machine visible as one clockwork.

Ring = calendar year. Angle around the ring = day of year (Jan 1 at top, clockwise); month ticks on the bezel. Dot size ∝ √likes; color = kind: amber original, cyan retruth, off-white media post, violet retruth with media. The red hand marks today on the 2026 ring. Arrow keys step day by day and light every post that day; the pale spoke shows its shared angle.
You can read the machine's habits at a glance: the same angles glow year after year, the media-white dots cluster in campaign season, and the 2026 ring is already denser than the 2022 ring it dwarfs.
This is a calendar, not an orbit: rings and angles encode dates only, and the bodies do not move - unlike last round's JPL orrery there is no physics here. Timestamps are UTC, so the calendar shown is the UTC calendar, not Washington's. Retruths are posts of others' content re-shared by the account.
