"Santos acknowledged... financial difficulties had left him owing thousands to landlords and creditors. But he failed to fully explain... how his fortunes reversed so significantly that, by 2022, he was able to lend 700K to his congressional campaign"

Rep.-elect George Santos acknowledges ‘résumé embellishment’ but answers little on finances

In interviews, the Long Island Republican acknowledged that he never graduated from college and didn't work for Wall Street firms, but he answered few questions about his wealth.

So George Santos now admits he lied about, well, everything: He didn’t work on Wall Street or graduate from college. But he’s still planning to take the seat in Congress he won under false pretenses. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/26/nyregion/george-santos-interview.html
George Santos Admits to Lying About College and Work History

The congressman-elect confirmed The New York Times’s findings that he had not graduated from college or worked at two major Wall Street firms, as he had claimed.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

@tomwatson We were sick with back-to-back school-acquired viruses for two months, and then we got COVID, possibly from an urgent care while waiting to be treated for something else. It’s been HELL. I don’t think most people really understand.
@feditips if the website is telling me my password doesn’t work and is not letting me use my confirmed email address to change it, is that just a function of how overextended everything is right now and I should wait it out? or am I screwed? (I have access to my account via the official app, which is indeed painful to use, but I can’t sign in anywhere else.)
the unbanning and flimsy rationale thereof seems almost as egregious if not more so than the banning in the first place, imo. it magnifies the extent to which this is all based on one person's whims.

Last night was about @[email protected] sending a message to journalists that he OWNS THEIR ACCOUNTS and journalists need to be mindful of not pissing him off.

The only appropriate response is to reject this kind of bullying.

Whatever happens, happens.

@erictopol we got the bivalent booster in late September—w/in days of it becoming available—and got our first COVID infection last week, probably while sitting at urgent care for something else. We were vulnerable after two straight months of back-to-book school-acquired viral infections. But damn it’s demoralizing. Now I’m feeling despair about our ability to avoid re-infection in the future because I don’t know what we could have done differently this time.
There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests
My mastodon link at my pinned tweet on Twitter is now warning anyone who clicks on it that the sight may be “unsafe.”
You know what actually feels unsafe right now? Musk on Twitter.
