Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people. 21189922648
Elizabeth Pimblett @lzbth.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Yes! How strange it all was, like another world now. But it had some moments when the slow pace had some merit. Beer deliveries and fish returning to clear Venetian canals! 110

Giving the keynote speech at the biggest cider maker’s conference in Britain was not something that I’d ever envisaged doing. So thank you to @3ccpa.bsky.social for inviting me. The cider community here is just so open and welcoming. Failed to take photos of my talk 😁 3392
Elizabeth Pimblett @lzbth.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Back in lockdown I tried to support our local Beer House by ordering various porters and stouts, which were delivered to my doorstep by bike. It took a little while to get through them, some I wouldn't want to drink again, but that brewery left a warm impression. 110
