Yes, I actually searched for a good news story. So what? Sure beats reading about politics.

Today, he is the organizer of 76 Monks (76行者遺體美容團隊), a growing network of more than 300 volunteers who respond to disasters and accidents nationwide, providing not just mortuary services such as repairing mangled bodies, but also social workers for the victims’ loved ones as well as helping with disaster relief.

Old one but nice story. How come 2007 looks like 1987?

You know the society is not doing well when one person skipping around is worthy of news :roll:

The Postal Service receives letters from children or families addressed to Santa Claus, scans a copy of the letter, redacts the identity and exact address of the receiver, and uploads it to uspsoperationsanta.com. Anonymous volunteers can register on the site and then choose a letter and send a toy, clothing or shoes.

Not sure this is the right place, but this one kind of blew my mind.

Not really because it’s not a news story. But it’s still a story, so thanks for the post!!

I think we need a Twitter Post Thread. Has there ever been one?

Most of Twitter posts can fit in one thread or another, no?

Yes if they are on topic. But sometimes there are some that are just funny on their own. We have the funny videos, so makes sense if it has video to go there. But what about tweets with funny memes? Or thoughts? Etc.

How about a “Funny meme of the day” thread?
I just think we one thread should be the focused on the content rather than a platform.

“Funniest videos” is an example of that. It started as “Funniest YouTube videos” but Facebook and Twitter videos started showing up as well, so it made more sense to change is name than to create a new similar thread. :2cents:

Yeah, not sure where to put it. It’s heartwarming, but not really a news story, and definitely not a meme.

Maybe a Jia You! Thread should be started. Definitely inspiring.
