Someone told me this is like old Twitter so I’m here for it.
I was in row 8, which is first row after first class. When we pulled up to the gate here in Burlington, Vermont, there was a total rush of people from the back of the plane. I had a bag basically above me that I couldn’t get to. I am so sick of most people right now.

just absolutely insane that this is what Trump accused Biden of doing, and now he's done it himself.
Congratulations, North Carolina. You’re on your own and your FEMA request is “not warranted.”

If you want to know how well most people do their own research, go on a group message board on social media and look at the questions asked. People can’t even use Google proficiently nor the search bar on social media to answer they own questions.

Does the Memphis Grizzlies coach know English? That is at least the fifth foul/call he should have challenged in this game. And what are the assistant coaches doing? Scrolling social media? Like y’all, we are in this game and you’re acting like you’ve never seen a basketball game.

I don’t even know how his name, but the Grizzlies head coach is the worst basketball coach in the playoffs by orders of magnitude and it isn’t close. He doesn’t challenge bad calls. He doesn’t call timeouts. And he can’t seem to address Caruso guarding JJJ.

The level of ineptitude by the Memphis Grizzlies front office and coaches is why the FedEx Forum is 60% full (or less) for this PLAYOFF game. What happened on Thursday night isn’t on the players but is on the front office and coaches. And here we are at this game today and same sh*t. Poor.

Re vaccines and autism- “It wastes valuable resources to revisit the same question…” Dr Higgins told Axios. “Reexamining settled questions that have already been repeated, replicated, and tested many times is not healthy skepticism; it’s cynicism and science denial.”

The Trump administration wants more studies replicated. That won't be easy
A key question is which studies get repeated and, with limited resources, at what expense.
