And the world is right again…

Distancing himself from social media after that whole "playing Words With Friends on an airplane" incident, Alec Baldwin has finally returned to Twitter.

Oh thank goodness.

His last tweet was sent out on Dec. 6 just before he promptly deactivated his account.

But a month has gone by (the longest month of our lives, it seems) and Alec is thankfully back where he belongs. The actor tweeted today:

Yeah, you know what we're talking about. That little "situation" on American Airlines. Apparently, the Rochester-based grocery chain received "dozens of complaints" from their customers after the ad started airing shortly after Alec was "rude" to the staff of his AA flight.

Wegmans spokesperson Jo Natale adds:

Yay for 30 Rock!

Alec, King of the Baldwins, has decided to pick up his hat and pull out of the 2013 NYC mayoral race.
