There are things I really like, and things that make me angry. Twitter brings them together like the most disastrous family get together in history. Yay!

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

The very best that can be said is that Honest Bob is an embarrassingly incompetent lawyer, incapable of understanding the most basic principles of the legal system.

The less charitable explanation is that he is a dishonest fraud.

Perhaps he can tell us which.

Useless fucking idiot only Tory who can beat useless fucking idiot.
What a great future the right dream of.

[Rock & Roll Hall of Fame @rockhall]

Trailblazers who changed the face of hip-hop, @TheSaltNPepa take their rightful place in music history. Watch Salt-N-Pepa’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 8, 2025, on @DisneyPlus

Touting a completely unforeseen act that impacts us slightly less than other countries (in the abstract, I suspect the reality is different given that a tariff will likely mean exports drop which will have a negative economic impact) as a Brexit plus is beyond idiotic.

[Iain Ross @Iainsross]

American lives could have been killed in Ukraine if Joe Biden was still in power? Good to see Trump is protecting the nation from hypotheticals and that this shrill cretin is still allowed to make a tit of herself in public ... 🙉🙈

Greene: What country are you from?

Reporter: The UK

Greene: We don’t give a crap about your opinion.. why don’t you go back to your country. This is an American journalist.

Second Reporter: I’d like to hear your answer to what she’s asking

The best salesman, the best. Who can resist the promise of shoddy goods from an unreliable, volatile, idiot?

Trump: We'll sell our allies toned down military planes, because someday, maybe they're not our allies

This is the plot of Total Recall, no?
The guy's a moron...

My god @elonmusk is actually, somehow, against all odds, even dumber than he looks

It's fishnets, isn't it? I knew it!!

Trying to engineer your own plane crash disaster is certainly a move...

[Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT]

NEW: Trump, frustrated by delays on new AF1s, has empowered Musk to consider drastic options to make Boeing move faster, including relaxing security standards for some working on the planes or buying a new jet to retrofit @EricLiptonNYT @jonathanvswan @EricSchmittNYT https://t.co/klZtI4ovTS

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Brilliant, necessary thread documenting how DOGE's claim that it's saved $55 billion is totally bogus, built on bad math, an apparent lack of knowledge of how multi-year contracts work, and simple mistakes like reading $8 million as $8 billion.

[Gail Simone 💙💛 @GailSimone]

Like everything Elon has a hand in, it looks completely hideous.

[Iain Ross @Iainsross]

Some flag backgrounded blue tick arsehole saying "the Nazis were right": ladies and gentlemen, the state of Twitter 2025 is truly a shitty thing to behold.

[Bob Dylan @bobdylan]

Sorry to hear the news about Garth Hudson. He was a beautiful guy and the real driving force behind The Band. Just listen to the original recording of The Weight and you’ll see.

[Iain Ross @Iainsross]

Truly the spirit of Christmas moves him.

Tit.

[Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social @TrumpDailyPosts]

Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in “repair” money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about “anything.” Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World. Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!

Can tell Elmo's site is a massive success by the ten or twelve ads I've scrolled by all for "FWB & Casual Hookups" in the past three minutes.
Got to be big ad bucks pouring in with that level of quality advertising.

[Iain Ross @Iainsross]

It's going to foreign countries, where it is spent to aid them. Clues in the name.
It's also a miniscule portion of the budget, if you want excessive spending maybe look at what you spend on weapons etc ...

[The Pogues @poguesofficial]

A reminder to right wing fuckwits not to drag us into your stupid culture wars.

[björk @bjork]

You're probably wondering why French people you don’t know are appearing on Björk's social media?

Rest assured, we haven't hacked into her account.

We're here because Björk felt that our revelations were important for the whole world: we're here to alert you about an ecological tragedy that is taking place in France because of our President Emmanuel Macron and that concerns the future and very livability of our planet.

This concerns you too and anyone who watches this video.

To put it bluntly: the fate of biodiversity treasures, of millions of marine animals and of the global climate are at stake. No more, no less.

This scandal is unfolding in the midst of general indifference.

Watch this outrageous story right to the end, and share it with everyone you know: it is URGENT that we take action.

France has the second largest maritime space in the world right after the USA.

What does this mean in practical terms?

It means that your action can be DECISIVE for the future of the oceans and marine animals.

If there is enough international pressure, we can obtain protection instead of destruction. That would be INCREDIBLE.

You can always watch the video and decide to do nothing, but if you are outraged by this injustice and want a more beautiful world that protects the ocean and marine animals, then act now! We count on you ALL ♥️

To STOP the massacre of marine animals.
To STOP the destruction of the oceans
To STOP the French President's ‘French touch’

HOW CAN YOU TAKE ACTION?
1 / By tagging President Macron to truly protect the ocean @EmmanuelMacron
2 / By signing our international petition: https://t.co/Y948Z57zrn
3 / By donating to a legal case in France to stop this: https://t.co/5xSwPMKnrD

Thank you !

This post is problematic for a number of reasons.

A thread…🧵

1. For those attempting to make sense of Trump’s victory and the rise of the far-right across Europe - look no further than the PMs statement below.

Whether you like it or not, the far-right has a set of common narratives. We can probably all recite them…
