Sailors used to throw logs overboard, attached to lines with knots tied at regular intervals. The # of knots that passed through a sailor’s hands within a given amt. of time helped determine the ship’s speed. Now, 1 knot = 1 nautical mph. 🧵⬇️

[Fourth-Wall Break] Because many have been asking the l about how I’ll be covering September 11, I’ve put together a Frequently Asked Questions list. I’m pinning it until that day. Please refer to this for your questions and feel free to ask more. Q: How many posts do you have planned for the event? At present, about 410, or one every three minutes for the entire day, though there will be an average of two posts a minute between 8:46 and 10:30. It is my earnest hope that the account doesn’t get suspended for spamming at the very beginning. I hope someone from X is reading this. Q: Is the posting going to be in real-time? Yes. I worked very hard to learn the exact minute and if possible, the precise second that events occurred on 9/11, and I will post at those exact moments. It will be a completely real-time retelling of the day. Q: Do you/Will you schedule posts? No. Automation is impersonal and unnatural. On these accounts I’ve always manually written the posts as I’m posting them, and 9/11 is no exception to the rule. Q: Are you posting alone, or do you have a team? All alone. Have been doing this alone for years. It’s a lot of effort. Q: Will you be showing sensitive content? No. I had the option to and I decided against it. Graphic photos and video exist, but it would be disrespectful to the victims to show it. You’re welcome to look it up for yourself. Q: How did you do your research? I watched 240 hours of video footage, from news reporting to on-the-ground stringers to eyewitness testimony to academic documentas, with the intent to form the most accurate-possible timeline of the event. I also had people professionally associated with and familiar with the event provide their own research, which was helpful. I did my very best to corroborate stories for accuracy and gather every possible detail of the day, and I hope that my work was adequate. Q: Will you be including any conspiracy theories? I don’t entertain the conspiracy theories. From my research, I have developed what I believe is the most accurate picture of what happened, and it’s straightforward and logical. There was no conspiracy related to the September 11 attacks. Those who seriously entertain conspiracy theories in the comments will be blocked. Q: Why do this much? Do you have a personal connection to 9/11? None. I was too young to remember it. I’m doing this because this is what I’ve done on these live history accounts since 2018.  Q: Was this the whole point of the account? No. I started this account in “1997” (2022) with the intent to report world news, and that’s what I’ve done for nearly five years. It was not the intent of the account, or I would’ve done thousands of hours of research and posted tens of thousands of unrelated stories just to set up one day. Q: But it seems like all your posts are 9/11 foreshadowing lately. Fewer than 1 in 10 of my posts has had any relation to 9/11. I’m insulted when people insinuate that “the account only posts about 9/11.” It’s a gross exaggeration.  Q: Will the account continue afterwards? Yes, indefinitely. I’m excited to cover the 2000s and the 2010s. I hope that you all stick around for it. Q: Won’t you make loads of money off this, a tragedy? Probably not. Last month, X decided to permanently suspend its creator monetization program and replace it with another program. I have not yet applied for the new program, and 9/11 will not be monetized. I am doing this as a passion project and because I love history and have been live-posting history for eight years - long before I was ever paid to do so. If I do end up being monetized for this day, I’ve had ethical qualms. Earlier this year I decided to donate all the money I made off my posts on September 11, 2026. If I make any money off this, I will do that and post receipts. I encourage you also to donate to the charity of your choice. This was a tragic event and funds deserve to go to the victims of the tragedy and rememberance of it.
