I'm really impressed with the growth spurt here, feels different than when Threads started off
There seems to have been a little bit more passion in the first days of that platform. Sadly most of it is gone now and many of us have ended up over here. Not a bad place to be.

Yes, this is a real thing. Alex Jones' media company sold to The Onion at auction www.npr.org/2024/11/14/n...
The Onion wins auction for Alex Jones' media company
The sale must be approved by a bankruptcy judge. Proceeds will go to paying down the $1.5 billion debt that Jones owes families of Sandy Hook shooting victims who won two defamation suits against him.

Someone in my special little corner of suburbia chose to mow their lawn today. I understand it's 75°, but you don't bring the mower out until March. Dude, you're making all the other guys in the hood look bad to our wives.

Turns out I do have one New Year's #resolution. After being barraged by desperate retailers and every non-profit I've ever even thought about over the last 24 hours, I will unsubscribe for 100 email lists in 2024. And probably even more. So from me and my sore index finger to you, happy 2024!
