Bluesky keeps filling my feed with a certain type of content that I'm really not into. I'm sure if I name it the algorithm will just show me more. Sigh.

Learned another new word: syzygy (which if it had just one more letter would be the mother of all scrabble words)
Syz·y·gy
-a conjunction or opposition, especially of the moon with the sun. "the planets were aligned in syzygy"
-a pair of connected or corresponding things.
