The House of Lords is the largest, most expensive, unelected Legislative Government Body in the world.

myatproto.social has a spam problem. Tons of accounts with the same names and profile pictures being made on the PDS. I still think having more small ATProto instances is a good thing, even if it comes with moderation challenges

@sandraellie.bsky.social Almost exclusively following men, calling them handsome and asking them to follow her. Probable romance scammer.
Reported and blocked.

@mikewilliam73.bsky.social Possible romance scammer. No posts, following mostly but not exclusively women - he followed me. Account photo so gets many hits on a reverse image search with so many different names, that I couldn't find out who it actually belongs to.

We need a drum beat for universal basic income and healthcare that only gets louder and louder. Consider taking a moment each day to post at least one thing about the need for them, or to repost what others have posted. I do this every day. You can use my timeline to save time. To those who do, TY!
