The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

This bull was slowly eating his way down the Sabi River in Kruger Park, SA

Decided to sort out this spot on the Taff Trail in Cardiff that flooded all the time. One spade and a lot of calories.
Anyone else down to help me continue the job?
