in South Korea air crash. 8 billion had a wonderful happy Christmas. Yet what is the Front Page great story? Only bad news hooks the reader, viewer and listener.

Having had such a difficult few months I have not gone on social media, Twitter in particular.

It wasn't deliberate; I just had no interest. I went on Twitter yesterday and found it unbearably hostile, divided, negative.

Humanity really has lost its way if reading that bile is replacing book reading. I would go so far as to say that scrolling through Twitter is an act of mental self-harm. And it has definitely got nastier under Musk.

Terrible tragedy though - initial indications are landing gear failure.

Really puts the tin hat on an absolutely terrible year for Boeing....

Indeed Twitter / X can be somewhat depressing with masses of depressing posts.

The human appetite for death and misery. Jack the Ripper has generated over 100 years of fascination; books, films, mahoney. And why do very famous people die at Christmas? Only kidding of course, but death and disaster always seem to have some baubles attached to them. Still time for a major earthquake.
