@DrJackBrown Per WaPo: "In December 2021, Santos tweeted to reflect on the fifth anniversary of his mother’s death in 2016.

“December 23rd this year marks 5 years I lost my best friend and mentor,” he wrote. “Mom you will live forever in my heart.”

George Santos said 9/11 ‘claimed my mother’s life.’ She died in 2016.

The GOP representative-elect is facing questions about what appear to be conflicting accounts of his mother’s death.

One thing I love about Canada is the fact that Canada Post volunteers will answer letters to Santa every year. Our postal code is letters/numbers like A1A 1A1, so kids can write to Santa c/o North Pole H0H 0H0 and volunteers will write back.

@Wolfie_Rankin Well said.

The sad truth is the other site will be fine, it'll just chug on without all of us -- or with us, in a reduced capacity. There will be times where it'll hit new highs of active users, even.

There has always been a market for disinformation and hate. If the other site suffers the same fate the equivalent news outlet does, it'll be the dominant social media platform in short order.

At the risk of being saccharine, I'm glad we're here and we have this. I hope you all stay.

It’s moments like tonight that I find it dangerously easy to be cynical. So, I’ll embrace this instead: I am happy to be here and hopeful because this space exists.
@georgetakei I have a few pinned posts on my profile to help newbies. I admit that at over 60, I was daunted at first. But I read those articles and it all became clear in minutes.
@Wolfie_Rankin Love that as a password.
