Looking for more Bluesky accounts like “cats being weird little guys” that post fun silly stuff. Recommendations?

I've been following Adam Sharp‬ ‪(@adamcsharp.bsky.social‬) for a long time. He posts about idioms in different languages, as well as lists of silly wordplay things. Here's one of todays riffs on an ad for one of those horrible book-summarising AI things:

THE BELL JAR
HARD ❌
It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York

EASY ✅
That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs

WeRateDogs showed up in the past couple of days. If you search the starter packs directory for pets or cat or dog content, there's also a ton of people out there curating lists of accounts to follow. Starter packs allow you to subscribe to them all at once or one by one.

Gator Days is a new favorite comic! I also like to look at their "following" list to see who that person is following.

Benjamin Dreyer
John Scalzi

William Gibson and David Simon (AudacityOfDespair) also showed up recently. Not so much fun there though but they were holding on to X.
