45 posts held, back to 22 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 51 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
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.
What if a court records the facts correctly—but quietly reverses what those facts are owed? Stab wounds. Blown kisses. Moral ledgers. And the Department for the F*ing Obvious. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/stab-wounds-and-blown-kisses
What if being right is more spiritually dangerous than being wrong? On sovereignty, grace, belief systems — and why corrigibility matters more than correctness. Wrong + corrigible can converge on reality. Right + incorrigible can only diverge from it. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/libtards-vs-pewmuffins
How can an unlawful physical reality become a lawful-looking judicial baseline? GREEN → RED → BLUE. The trick isn’t hiding the facts. It’s changing what the facts are allowed to count as. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/how-provenance-bleaching-ontology
New AI tool: Smoking guns, hot pistols, warm casings. How do you distinguish a genuine internal failure of authority from a strong anomaly, a suggestive pattern, or mere suspicion? I’ve turned months of forensic work into a reusable tool you can apply to your own encounters with misshapen authority. Free to download. Built to challenge your theory, not confirm it. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/smoking-gun…
Some of you are sick of this custody case. Others are fighting your own version of it. The latest AI companion extracts the reusable forensic method: Same facts, different recogniser. Same recogniser, different facts. What matters is children, not AI. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/what-the-two-smoking-guns-reveal
Two smoking guns. The facts changed. The recognition did not. The classifier was removed. The recognition did not. So what was the court actually recognising—and what envelope contains a court when “child custody” no longer explains what it did? https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/two-smoking-guns-and-just-one-envelope
Can a court become the “murder weapon” that converts child-stealing into lawful custody? Violation → reality → authority. I went looking for the constitutional answer. I was asking the wrong question. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/constitutional-cluedo

12 branching points. 12 outcomes in the same direction. That doesn’t prove judicial bias. The interesting finding is stranger: The inputs vary. The transformations vary. The output direction does not. When every off-ramp leads back onto the same road, eventually you investigate the road. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/when-the-off-ramps-are-all-blocked
The child is maximally contestable. The house is minimally contestable. So what happens if you stop watching the child—and use a Tennessee farmhouse to debug the court instead? My AI companion extracts the deeper lessons: https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/what-the-farmhouse-experiment-reveals
She owns the house. She pays the mortgage. She lives in it. She calls it her permanent residence. The father confirms she is back. His attorney calls it her “permanent address.” The judge orders: “When Plaintiff Mother establishes a permanent residence…” This article is about what happened in the middle. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/a-republic-cannot-survive-plagium
What comes after OODA when warfare moves upstream into recognition, corrigibility, and reality itself? 5GW captures what you recognise. 6GW captures your ability to escape. 7GW captures the basis on which you could know you needed to. And at the bottom of the rabbit hole: why love is the antidote to capture. https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/orroda-and-the-war-on-repentance
Showing the 12 most recent of 45 posts we hold for @geddes. 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.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
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.
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.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 1 seed channel's Telegram-generated recommendation list in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 5 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
