Here's a timeline cleanser for you 🥰 ⤵️

If you want to know what that big trial that starts tomorrow-Harry versus the SUN- is really all about, this is your best bet. Clear, concise and all you need to know in a short text. @bylinetimes.bsky.social

As freezing weather hits the country, it's worth asking again: did the government set the threshold to retain the winter fuel allowance too low? Here's how it's affecting one woman just above the cut-off ⤵️

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

Over on X, Musk seems to be pushing his own posts directly onto users' notification pages, even if they do not follow him, in a category comically labeled 'Elon Musk' above the breaking news that 'Elon Musk posted' He's making those X devs implement new levels of dear leader shit over there
