@AndrewCMcCarthy Out of curiosity, when did your ancestors come to the US? Did they do so "legally" or was a path to legality offered to them? Did they flee for their safety, or perhaps for a better life for their children and descendants (you)?

@bertrandmyd Dude, not a xenophobe? He was literally friends with Hitler. Why defend the guy?

@anna_socjo Who is "you all"?

Could it be that if many people are saying similar things, it simply means that many people share similar impressions?

Outside of Spanish Twitter, I don't see anyone saying "catch the criminal!" I do see many people, like me, shocked by the disproportionality.

@jcoscu @jessicaalbiach "les coses dels polítics" vol dir què exactament?

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@Oletros Doncs, expliqueu-m'ho bé. Vostè té la teoria que els meus tuits són tan bons que un partit polític em paga per escriure'ls?

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@Oletros What?

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@JordiXX_ @orriolsderipoll No, em sembla molt.

També em sembla molt lluny de 51% (mínim tècnic per conformar a la paraula "majoria").

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@ElRepliKant @orriolsderipoll Cert. Tampoc es comptabilitza els milers de persones migrants que treballen de manera "informal".

"Majoria" és una paraula específica que vol dir més de 50%. D'on treu la Sra Orriols aquesta xifra? Del no-res. És un invent.

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@orriolsderipoll No, no és Sants Innocents. És la realitat: els xenòfobs sou pocs.

@ericbahn Are you quantifying the symptom?

Are you tracking to know if you're coughing more at night (horizontal, post-nasal drip) vs doing the day, vs after meals (acid reflux) vs at peak times (exposure to irritants)?

Give CoughTracker or CoughPro a try, and see if there are patterns.

@SilviadeMariane Medicaments pels rics.
Malalties pels pobres.

Benvinguts al segle XIX.

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@errajota Quin salts que fas: pagar medicaments a nens malalts = "mort de la cultura autòctona".

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@errajota @Cataloniafuture Sí. Vull que tots els paísos rics (Catalunya inclosa) fan tot el possible per anar a buscar nens malalts i ajudar-los. I per sort hi ha persones que es dediquen a això.

I quan el nen malalt ja està a casa meva, vull que els meus impostos paguin els seus medicaments. És clar.

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@Cataloniafuture Sí, sí, aquells nens malalts dels qual tracta l'article segurament no treballen, ni contribueixen. I pel fet de no treballar ni contribuir, la idea és que no mereixen medicaments quan estan malalts. És així, oi?

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@pratyavayah Sí que hi ha prou recursos per pagar el 100% dels medicaments dels nens (i les seves mares, sent fidels a la captura) independenment del seu lloc d'origen o els papers que porta a la butxaca. Hi ha mil coses que es podria eliminar abans de plantejar crueltats com les que proposa.

@SitkoSebastian Thoughts on cough tracking for athletes?

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@hubermanlab What about for endurance athletes?

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

@nntaleb Hey, just curious, I am sitting here with my good friend and visionary @circo_io , why'd you block him?

[Joe Brew @joethebrew]

The richest man in the world using poor people (whose only "crime" is having chosen the wrong parents) as a backdrop for photo ops.

Immoral and pathetic.

US Border Patrol just reported the highest number of recorded illegal immigrants in history at over 260,000 this month.

The full number, including unrecorded, may be over half a million per month, which is the population of Wyoming.
