@RossMackay111 Looking strong, Ross! Do you think it’s possible to maintain the current physique you have when you start incorporating running again?

Amazing what zero running, s&c 4x weekly and bike for 8 weeks does to one’s physique. Cant wait to be a skinny fat runner again tho …

In honor of the great Alex Honnold climbing Taipei 101 tonight:

@ElaPassarelli Avoid Gymkhana and Dishoom. Both are fine, but very mainstream/overhyped. I recommend Kahani in Sloane Square. Unbelievable food + amazing vibes. As a bonus, they have live jazz every weekend. One of London's best-kept secrets, in my opinion.

tried gymkhana in london yesterday, one of the only indian restaurants to have michelin stars to be honest beautiful spot and i enjoyed it, and maybe it's because i'm half indian and my family cooks great food, but i didn't find it that amazing am i crazy?? also any better indian food recs in london (or new york) greatly appreciated♥️

Formula 1 has a new home in the US. Watch every Grand Prix of the 2026 season live on Apple TV. Don’t miss it.

@laura_nelson Hi Laura! Thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry I took so long to reply to you. I am open to chatting more about this. Sending you an email now.

@cvmanouk Hey there, relieved to hear your grandmother is okay. I'm a reporter at the LA Times, working to reconstruct the first 24 hours of the fires. Would you be open to talking more about this? If so, let me know how I can reach you -- I'm at laura.nelson@latimes.com. And thanks.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the nurses and workers at the Terraces at Park Marino, along with law enforcement, for helping us evacuate my grandma last night. She is in the center of the screen at the beginning of the video.

@soccerdiva Astounded by their quick thinking and bravery. We always credit first responders, and rightly so, but these workers also deserve massive credit for saving many lives. Thank God for them. All the best Sophie ❤️

@cvmanouk The workers are truly heroic. Sending all the love mate ❤️‍🩹🙏

@JaCabrera24 Absolutely terrifying. She was frantic. And you feel totally helpless.

@cvmanouk That was scary to watch last night. I can only image it was for those residents.

@JaCabrera24 Thank God, what a relief 🙏🏼

@cvmanouk I am sorry your grandma had to experience that! Glad she's OK and safe!!

They rescued these poor people from certain death. I am so grateful for their decisiveness and courage in the face of an unthinkable and dangerous situation. Thank you for saving my grandma.

With 70-90h winds roaring down the mountain and fire bearing down on them, first responders bravely helped evacuate all 90+ elderly patients from the facility, barely an hour before the entire nursing home burned to the ground.

Struggling to come to terms with the utter devastation in our community. Nearly a dozen family members, and many more friends, had their homes burn to the ground overnight. Countless memories totally destroyed within minutes. I’m heartbroken. How do you rebuild?

happy new year!

it’s that time of the year

This beautiful piece evokes some truly precious memories for me, and has brought me hope at a time when I've struggled immensely. youtube.com/watch?v=hXwTMe…

@JaCabrera24 My sincere condolences to you and your family, Javier 😥 Several of my loved ones are fighting aggressive cancer or have recently lost their battles as well. It's heartbreaking. May God provide you with peace as you grieve.

Feeling very sad tonight. I lost my cousin and big brother to cancer. RIP brother. 💔😢 we are raising money for his funeral expenses now. Anything helps. Thank you. gofund.me/ed055f58

If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth. Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that they could only therefore rely on The NY Times, MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream media for their news. And they did. If, however, you have been active on @X for the last year, you have known the truth days, weeks and often months before the facts appear in the MSM. The MSM excerpted, clipped and cut to defame @realDonaldTrump while claiming that @JoeBiden was fit as a fiddle. Then when Biden’s polls collapsed, @KamalaHarris was anointed the candidate and her hagiography was written with glowing acclaim from the press. But this could not hold as she ducked the media and held fast to the teleprompter. Citizen journalists with their phone cameras in hand captured the real Kamala forcing her to defend her record and her plans in more media appearances. It did not go well and the public demanded to learn more so @KamalaHarris had to risk more unscripted media. The doom loop was underway with perhaps 60 Minutes as one of the more dramatic examples, even after CBS tried to save her, most glaringly by excerpting one answer to replace a word salad response to another. But the citizen journalists on @X quickly caught and outed this fraud and demanded a transcript. As many who supported Kamala began to realize that they have been misled, they became open to Trump as an alternative, but they didn’t want to rely on the media to understand him because they did not want to be misled again. They wanted to hear the candidate in his own words and that is where @lexfridman and @joeroganhq long form podcasts came to the rescue. When Kamala was offered the same opportunities to explain herself, she rejected them. And the voting public could only draw a negative inference. When the story of this election is written, I expect it will be as much about how half of America woke up to the reality that they have been manipulated by the media. This should lead to an abandonment by many of the MSM as their primary source of information. It will push more people to @X, to podcasts and other empirical sources, and it will lead to a more informed public. The other outcome I hope happens is the implosion of the Democratic Party. The Party lied to the American people about the cognitive health and fitness of the president. It prevented, threatened, litigated and otherwise eliminated the ability of other candidates for the primary to compete, to get on ballots, and to even participate in a debate. The Party and the administration used lawfare in an attempt to imprison, bankrupt or otherwise kill off Trump as a candidate. These acts are collectively grave threats to our democracy. With the highest irony in order to hide these acts, the Party accused the opposition candidate of being the grave threat to democracy. The Democratic Party proved itself to be fundamentally undemocratic. It needs a complete reboot. The leadership should be thrown out and those responsible should apologize to the American people. Honest Abe said it best: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

Watching all these big moments, all these champions… It just puts into perfect perspective what the #MLSCupPlayoffs are all about 🙌🙌🙌
