1/6 We're seeing an uptick in scams pretending to be Bluesky or @aaron.bsky.team. These scammers are targeting artists via DMs, trying to take you off-app. Our moderation team is reviewing reports of these scammers and will take down their accounts. Here are some important reminders:
Here's the executive order just signed by Trump.
One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.
I know, it’s scary and sad.
Even on local Facebook pages, people are now even more emboldened to be blatantly racist. Bring back the pre social media & brilliant 90s! Much less easily accessed misinformation then. And great music 😄
In other news, it’s my first day off since Friday, my daughter has been in the village panto (fab! 😊, and we are off to pick up my son’s first car today, eek!!!! So not all bad X
There is an awful lot of bad stuff going on, isn’t there!! 😢
Been keeping abreast of it, but avoiding the tele news. Why can’t everyone just be kind, not lie, not hoard money, think of those less fortunate then themselves and look after the world and it’s ecosystem. Harumpf x
I’ve decided I’m going to take over Lancashire, own it, level it, get all its inhabitants to relocate to Wales, Cumbria or wherever (not Yorkshire!), re-name it God’s Own Country, plant millions of acres of rhubarb and build a Betty’s Tea Room on every street corner.
That’ll sort the buggers!! 👍 👀
While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.
Concerns arose when it was suggested that employees’ personal data be aggregated in ways that would violate privacy laws without consent. When an employee raised this issue, the response was that they would “try to get consent,” but that it shouldn’t stop them from moving forward with the project.

It's always left to us strong women!!
Hat tip Madam President!

Oh shit.
This is going to be very, very bad.
Scary times 😳😢
Tuuuunes!! My A Level year, fab times!! 😊🙌🏻
There has been a dramatic drop of 74% in artists touring the EU. The campaign, led by ‘Carry on Touring’, represents all creative artists affected by Brexit not just musicians

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x
The world’s richest man is promoting the far right in Europe. Don’t buy a Tesla

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)
First snowdrops I’ve seen this year, with a puppy photobomber 😄

Damning.
WOW!! The number of @bsky.app users just hit the 30 MILLION milestone!! 👏
LETS KEEP GOING!
Bit grim this morning. Cold, cloudy and damp. Dogs don’t care though 😄. The puppy is dressed like a squishy beetle so he doesn’t get cold and shivery, bless him😊🪲
More sex offenders sent to jail today.
But the Far Right will ignore them because they aren't muslim.
Police are appealing for information after a man suffered serious injuries when his car came to rest in the River Wharfe in Ben Rhydding, near Ilkley, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Excellent night last night at the @dovesofficial.bsky.social Q&A with Jez and Andy and @chrishawkinsdj.bsky.social
Really interesting to hear their evolution and stories. Treated to a few acoustic tracks as well, which was a lovely surprise 😊❤️. Love this band x
Can’t get much closer 😄
Will be meeting MrD in the pub by 5 😄🍷
It’s my first rostered day shift working a weekend in years and years, as my new (old) shifts kick in. Nice getting a parking space easily in the morning, and little traffic. Finish at 4 and not 5 like I used to, which actually makes quite a big difference!
