George Santos says he's learned his lesson. From now on, he'll "double-check" and "cross reference" everything.

You know, the hard-to-remember stuff...like where/if he went to college, when his mother died, and when he won the Nobel Peace Prize. #GeorgeSantos #Congress

@skyportradio @mozilla Perfectly valid view, for sure.

That said, when I say "functionality of Twitter," I'm purely referring to things like GIF support, that kind of stuff. Not talking about any of the algorithms or stuff that makes Twitter a toxic place to be.

POLL QUESTION for my followers (all 3 of you, šŸ˜†):

Let's say @mozilla is successful in building a Mastodon instance that has much of the same functionality of Twitter (GIF support, better image support, etc).

Would y'all switch from whatever instance you're in now to Mozilla's instance? Why/why not?

Look, there's a perfectly rational explanation as to why George Santos' campaign would have 40 separate $199.99 charges...when 90% of all other House/Senate campaigns had literally zero.

Problem is, that explanation involves an attempt to dodge federal campaign spending reporting laws. #GeorgeSantos #Congress #Republicans

If McCarthy wanted to turn the page and gain some credibility as a more ā€œopenā€ and ā€œtransparentā€ Speaker, he’d let C-SPAN put their own camera back into the House Chamber. #FreeCSPAN #FreeTheCameras
