What is the deal with accounts with no profile and only one or two posts/replies (or even none in some cases) having THOUSANDS of followers? Are these bots? I don't get it.

So, this happened yesterday ... A 150+ year old Moonah tree crashed down after we had a fair bit of rain. I have no idea what I'm going to do with this. 😢

Robodebt brought fear and misery to tens of thousands of Australians. Some killed themselves. Yet still these four arseholes escape untouched.

Folks, I just worked out if you want to block DMs you can by clicking on the message icon of the left, then the edit (?) icon top right, then choose "no one".

Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Elon Musk owns Twitter/X. When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

I asked my wife if she could pause Stardew Valley and help me with a few chores, but she's playing "farmcore" mode where if you even try to pause, it deletes your save and you have to start from scratch Huge respect to indie game designers willing to go out on a limb with mechanics like that

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

Sometimes we all need a hug... this friendly little joey chased me around any time I left our accommodation, when it would catch me it would hug my leg and demand to be scratched behind the ears.

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.
Post from writer Tom Nichols:

If you want to subvert a democracy, the first three institutions you try to capture with loyalists are the military, the justice system, and the intelligence community. Trump is on the offensive against all three.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory
A map of flight paths emanating from breeding colony of gulls, with this caption: Early on, LifeWatch noticed something odd. Most gulls were making daily trips to Mouscron, a city on the French border 65 km away. They went to investigate and found the birds bingeing on discarded snacks at the Roger & Roger potato factory.

Morning friends. I'm so happy to be here w/you all on Bluesky. Let's focus on the points of light while we acknowledge the coming Trump darkness. Let's support & feed the points of light so that they grow stronger. We really are all in this together. And that's how we'll win. Together.

Hello Bluesky. Not sure what to say, so I guess my first post will be photos of my recently departed boys, Bobby & Gromit. I loved them so much.
