Thought I'd pop on to the old ex-Twittles to see what's going down on Christmas Eve. Criminals, grifters, professional malcontents and earnest idiots appear to be prevalent. As you were.
Unless in the last few weeks you have seen Bob Dylan, Nicola Walker, Matthew Rhys and Brendan Gleeson do their thing on stage*, your life has simply not been as ridiculously lucky as mine, I'm afraid.
*Separately. All together might be a bit much.

“Don’t take people for granted, and that’s what Keir Starmer has done.”
The 2026 Senedd elections are “all to play for now”, says the new Plaid Cymru MS for Caerphilly Lindsay Whittle.
I haven't been happy about anything in politics for a long time. @Plaid_Cymru winning decisively in Caerphilly when Reform arrogantly thought they had it is pure 😁😁😁 though. Classy acceptance speech from Lindsay Whittle too. There's hope for us in Wales today 🏴🏴🏴
I rescind that 'boring' after that Moto2 last lap! 😲 Amazing Alonso
Unsafe, boring, ugly, sparsely attended and people still unable to get into the car parks at 10am - what a jewel Balaton is turning out to be 🙄#HungarianGP

I have always thought that Zarco looks like he's in his sixties. After that Suzuka 8 hours, he's unsurprisingly advanced to his nineties.
(He also reminds me of Leonard Rossiter, but that's properly niche.)
Very sad to read this. Felt that this was a bad one as it happened. Horrible for everyone in BSB.

I think it's perfectly fine to think that artists should be able to make political protests, politicians should have better things to do than pontificate on where they do so *and* that Kneecap are a bunch of embarrassing, thoughtlessly unnuanced twats
Not many cities left with an unmistakably unique identity. Never change, Liverpool ❤️
Quite an experience seeing Red or Dead @RoyalCourtLiv too. Lots of Scottish people in town for it. Thanks for the drinks, guys. Sorry I couldn't keep up 😉🙏🏼 😁
Tripping over their clown shoes in a particularly dangerous way this time🤡

Just imagine having to apologize to the very people who are excluding you because of your disability.
I apologised to the members of the Assisted Dying Bill committee tonight as I had to leave early.
I didn’t want to but had to because my hearing aids need to recharge after 15 hours use and without them I cannot hear or take part in the committee.
Hearing isn’t a choice for me.
I’ve raised this issue repeatedly with members of the committee and it’s sad that I’m unable to continue today.
I have chosen to give up a lot, especially during Ramadan, to make sure I can contribute in this committee and in politics.
I wanted to stay as long as I could for these hugely important discussions and it is frustrating that I cannot because of my disability.
We're valiantly trying to continue taking the piss as usual, but Trump, Vance, Musk etc - it's just not funny, is it? America has truly shat the bed.
Definitely time for a break from this platform. Even some of the nicest people’s tweets are veering off into unbalanced/obsessed/in denial/plain weird or worse. I get why - staring into an abyss without contamination is not possible. Feels like we all need some fresh air.
