@AMikeBloomType @Pooyaism I am in on The Anonymous -- and listened to your podcasts on it. Even my 13-year-old son likes it and he refused to be in the room when we had Deal or No Deal Island on because "it's so cheesy it must be scripted."

I am rooting for Nina but Jack seems a threat to her.

@Pooyaism It's my #1 season, though I have only seen English-speaking versions.

[Erik Swain @ErikSwain2]

@ShannonGaitz @Pooyaism Thanks! But FYI it's not pinned to the Traitors RHAP-up page so you actually made me come here to find it.

In any case, this season is giving me similar vibes to AUS1, which is my favorite Traitors season, so I definitely want to keep up with what you all say.

@SurvivorSpclsts Hannah told Mike Bloom that she wants to hug Jeff Probst. Just sayin' for prop bet purposes.

@Grubhub_Care 4 days ago I received a $12 perk relating to an order of $40 or more from a pizza place we use often. When I add items to my bag totaling more than $40, the cart does not give me a $12 promo, but a $4 promo. There appears to be no way to adjust this. Unacceptable.

@DavidBloomberg @jessicalewis89 (2/2) I think both Karishma and Noura are suffering from The Derwin Problem this season. #WhyXLost #Survivor

[Erik Swain @ErikSwain2]

@DavidBloomberg @jessicalewis89 (1/2) Is The Derwin Problem in the rules? That is, if you hit the beach perceiving yourself as an outsider, it's more likely you become one, because you give off outsider vibes to your tribe and they pick up on it #WhyXLost #Survivor

@PurpleRockPod The entry with the four returning players will probably be entered at 12:01-ish.

We had a thrilling time in Munich covering #ESCCongress. Here are our interviews with prominent interventional cardiologists about their highlights from the meeting. https://t.co/h8UyA3ea8v @DLBHATTMD @drmortkern @Drroxmehran @AshishPershad

"In this November/December issue of Cardiology Today’s Intervention, we cover one of the fastest-moving areas in endovascular intervention: catheter-based therapy for pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis." -- @DLBHATTMD

This study is thought-provoking, but retrospective. The NIH is funding a prospective trial that should help us better understand the extent to which statins may help patients aged 75 or older.

[Cardiology Today @CardiologyToday]

In a retrospective cohort study of adults 75 or older without prior #CVD , statin use did not reduce risk for CVD or all-cause mortality in those without #diabetes. Read more: https://t.co/4QgjPjlmWV

This could have some major ramifications for preventive cardiology.

[Cardiology Today @CardiologyToday]

16 years of follow-up in the ASCOT Legacy trial show that antihypertensive treatment w/ a calcium channel blocker-based regimen & lipid lowering with a statin demonstrated long-term beneficial effects on mortality. Read more: https://t.co/RsQaDzQKt2 #ESCCongress @escardio
