The world might be burning, but at least we have tweets. Well, for now.

Believe it or not, we’re at the end of 2022. Yep, it’s December. That’s month no. 12. And there are only 12 months in the year. Time, what a concept!

It’s been a heck of a year for Twitter. Elon Musk took over, and things have promptly gone off the rails. He fired or pushed out most of the staff, brought back bad actors who were suspended, and has generally, uh, shaken things up.
