🎶It's the most wonderful time of the year🎶 (new series of #TheTraitors starts tonight)

I may be 40 years late to the party but Threads on iPlayer 😱 I've not been this terrified of nuclear war since Bono's wife's Sellafield postcards

Why am I getting so many space pictures on my timeline? Is this because I selected no interests when setting up? Is this the default feed? There are SO many pictures of planets!
