"[Aaron] Rupar works from his spare room in his Minneapolis house. His job is to watch President Trump. All day, every day. ...

He sees it as his duty to keep the world informed of almost everything Trump and members of his administration say and do."

@wdlindsy It's worth a bluesky account just to follow https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com

And I'll add https://bsky.app/profile/aaronparnas.bsky.social as another important reporter to follow.

@lisafw Thank you. Is it possible to follow his account there without opening a BlueSky account? I can barely keep up with what I'm doing on this site, and all that I'm reading elsewhere, and am hesitant to open yet another account.

@wdlindsy I totally understand. I am a bit overwhelmed with just bluesky & mastodon.

Doing quick search on the googles, here's what I found:

Yes, you can follow Bluesky accounts from Mastodon using a bridging service called Bridgy Fed. By following the specialized bot @bsky.brid.gy on Mastodon, you can interact with Bluesky users.

There are more details for making this happen, but it looks like it is possible, which is very cool. Hope it works for you!

@lisafw @bsky.brid.gy Thank you so much — will check that avenue out.
