Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason: They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer. These three men have become $232 billion richer since November. Not bad in a couple of months time!

Ladies of Bsky: I just started my account last night, & within hours, I had a handful of new male followers, whose accounts also looked new. Prior to this I’ve only used FB, set to ‘friends only.’ Weird that I don’t know these guys, no common friends or interests, and they only follow women - WTF?
