@piersmorgan @PeteButtigieg @piersmorgan He was going to, but he couldn't find any reliable transportation.

@3YearLetterman @piersmorgan @3YearLetterman Breaking News: Pier Smorgan concedes British inferiority. Petitions king to change country's name to Rubbish Britain.

@JohnJamesMI @JohnJamesMI It doesn't help when they make us breathe in our exhaust all day with pointless masks. I'm not a surgeon so why am I wearing a surgical mask? Help us, John James!

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@VPrasadMDMPH @JonBalun Breathing in your own exhaust all day is demoralizing and covering our lips with a porous cloth is dehumanizing both the workers and the patients who cannot understand each other clearly.

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@VPrasadMDMPH @JonBalun Even when guidelines are updated, no studies are cited and county transmission rates are considered "high" even at 5%. Even in the summer, the rate has never been low enough to be able to take our masks off.

@3YearLetterman @3YearLetterman Their ham is better except they call it bacon. Canadian bacon is not better than bacon.
Also, those saying hockey must not watch as US teams hoist Lord Stanley's year after year. We literally invented hockey.

@PeteLau @PeteLau Will the US be able to FIND this anytime soon?

@kelseybolar @kelseybolar I read "falling upwards." As in falling up the stairs, which he literally does.

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@VPrasadMDMPH @VPrasadMDMPH Do n95 masks work? Given the virus is 1/10 the size of the mask pores, wouldn't one be exposed even with the mask on (assuming it fits)? Does Brownian motion make it more effective or is that just theory? If masks don't work, "better than nothing" ignores downsides

@VPrasadMDMPH @VPrasadMDMPH How does "after adjustment for confounders, the association between glasses and covid-19 was not statistically significant in either country" transform to
"adds to a growing body of evidence that glasses wear lowers the risk of COVID-19" by the end of the article?

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@DonaldJTrumpJr @DonaldJTrumpJr I'm sure most glossed over the hearing aid bit, but Biden did no such thing. Getting the FDA to approve over the counter hearing aids makes cheaper hearing aids available, but are of such poor quality one should use air quotes when calling them "hearing aids."

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@SamHarrisOrg @SamHarrisOrg Define "good."

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@hubermanlab @BioLayne Will increasing muscle mass increase your metabolism? If so, how much protein should one ingest daily to optimally build muscle? Are there certain protein sources to avoid? For example, I heard soy increases estrogen.

@ggreenwald Is eating plants good for plants? How is that climate justice?

@UnfilteredOnFox @dbongino Hilliar: Still Lying Even When Her Lips Aren't Moving

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@UnfilteredOnFox @dbongino "Liar, Liar, Pantsuit On Fire"

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@UnfilteredOnFox @dbongino "That's What She Said"

@LoobyLo58406513 @3YearLetterman Coach does not live in La La Land. LA just joined the Big Ten so it can annually lose to the SEC champions in the playoffs. Much like the British lost to America in every war since your monarchy was invented

[Jon Balun @JonBalun]

@revsw @3YearLetterman @BorisJohnson Why would anyone use linen sheets to write on? Did the Brits run out of papyrus?
