If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Hadn’t seen the Musk post before but as the person who has literally written the book on invisibility it is painfully obvious that neither Trump nor Musk understands anything about stealth aircraft. (And I can explain them in two skeets.)
TRUMP: Stealth jets are invisible, you can stand right next to one, and not even know it's there!
MUSK: Not exactly, low light sensitivity cameras can see them.
