I have a near supernatural ability to put holes in socks. By 'supernatural ability', I really just mean 'rough feet'. #pediatry #FootIck

Why do so many young folk pronounce the word "ASK" as if the 'S' & 'K' were switched? Incapability or a Gen Z affectation? Arks-ing for a friend. #GenZ #EnglishLanguage #YoofSpeak

I really don't get the logic of holding the opening ceremony after the games have started? Happens in the summer #Olympics too... I guess curling is the 'antipasti'? #WinterOlympics #Milano #Cortina #TeamGB

12 more prisoners released in error: www.bbc.com/news/article... how can Lammy defend this? It's like blaming a late-running bus because it's not solar-powered. Surely the first thing u check before releasing a prisoner is "should we be actually be allowing this person to leave prison"? #UKprisons

Twelve more prisoners released in error, with two still missing, says Lammy
The releases happened in the past three weeks, coming on top of 91 prisoners who were freed by mistake between April and October.

Afghan women lose their 'last hope' as Taliban shuts down internet

Isn't the bigger question here, why the blazes nurses are forced to pay to park at their own place of work? I could understand it in a large city centre, but this is Rugby! #BrokenNHS BBC News - Warwick Hospital nurse fined 23 times for using staff car park - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More than 60,000 Palestinian people have been killed by the Israeli government. Meanwhile, our government refuses to recognise Netanyahu's genocidal plans and continues to arm and train his regime. Shame on them.

Mice don't particularly like cheese - but it was usually all that poor people had to set mousetraps with back when they were first invented. Chocolate preferable! 😊

I'd happily give any London Mayor a knighthood for NOT wasting £4m on the #NewYear2025 fireworks. Unacceptably wasteful when there are so many in need. #NewYearsHonours
