I didn't get polio today! SO LIT twitter.com/lastweektonigh…

@MBTA Hey can you PLEASE get a Braintree train out of JFK? It’s been over half an hour and there have been three Ashmont trains.

As an FYI I'm outta here and I'm over on the service with the Bluer Skies. Goodnight and good luck.

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance both understood pop culture can have a remarkable impact on how people perceive things and working within the language of television and film you can have massive real-world reverberations. someone should probably write a book about that phenomenon

Hey @JetBlue do you have options for customer support that don’t cost money? Feels unfair to have to pay for when your website breaks.

@DGlaucomflecken This doctor never gets call backs for his ophthalmology consults, it sounds like

@BriannaWu Have a wingman whose sole purpose is to make life difficult for your opponent. Tactical red shells, bananas, etc.

I need your cheapest, most shameless tactics to win at Mario Kart 8. I don’t care how unethical or even illegal. I’ve got a teenage niece to get revenge on for my 2022 Christmas defeat.

@crazyreesie @BriannaWu ….a cool blue Impreza sedan? (Ducks)

@k_kinzel @BriannaWu Depends on which Subaru.

This has been a very stressful week. Time to double down. Do people who drive non-manual cars deserve rights?

open.substack.com/pub/thosenerdy… Relevant to the hate tweets I was getting earlier: strategic masking is a thing and this post has a lot of great tips to get in the swing of masking more as respiratory infections climb.

“Look, I have bad news. We don’t know what you have. But you’re going to die.”

@angie_rasmussen I appreciate the confluence of GI doctors going “oh please no” and ID doctors going “WASH YOUR FILTHY HANDS”

If coffee enemas are so great for your skin and liver, then why do all the people who swear by them look like jaundiced scarecrows? Also please don’t do enemas in your kitchen.

@RyanMarino @this_is_mallory Ah good an “extra” bowel movement “pulled out of my body” sounds fantastic and totally not the 60ml of liquid you squirted up there 😬

@marynmck @WIRED Difficult news and a huge loss for Wired. I look forward to your work wherever you end up!

@FireEyes66 Ventilation is just one component of a complex puzzle. Under 800 is the goal for all indoor space, but I would be wary if I was in a small space with many people I didn’t know regardless of CO2 levels.

@k_kinzel @lmhuber1982 Could you share your metric for ventilation levels safe enough to unmask? Eg CO2 under 500? 800?

Beyond thrilled to have met @PeterHotez in Houston this week! A wonderful advocate for science and vaccination.

Belief in vaccine misinformation has grown advisory.com/daily-briefing… "...including the [definitively disproven] belief that 'increased vaccines are why so many kids have autism these days.'" Maddening how lies about vaccines endure. This BS is killing people. #VaccinesWork

@angie_rasmussen @SenMarcoRubio

Once again, it’s not a virus and it’s not anything new. It’s a surge in cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and probably the usual mix of seasonal respiratory viruses. The only question in my mind is if @SenMarcoRubio is being willfully obtuse or is genuinely a fucking idiot.

Getting together with friends & family for the holidays? Don't invite COVID to the party. Order your free COVID tests today. Even if you've already ordered tests earlier this fall, you can get more! You don’t have to pay for anything, not even shipping. COVIDTests.gov

@justaneighsayer Appreciate the concern! My colleagues and I are fully vaccinated with updated COVID and flu vaccines and the space we were in here was VERY well ventilated. I wore an N95 mask during transit.

The invisible mask looks so great on him
