Can’t believe that @PeterHotez fans are gathered outside Joe Rogan’s house shouting that they won’t leave until he submits a paper to a peer-reviewed journal.

Replying to @JetBlue @durjoy
You do realize that “we are sorry you’re frustrated” is not an actual apology, right? Could you at least do “we are sorry our flight is delayed?” Cc @SorryWatch

Within a month of leaving prison, I was accepted into @UCBerkeley and received my bachelors with a 4.0. My felony record prevented me from finding work, even at my alma mater. A thread.

In 1959, 9yo Ronald McNair was told he couldn't check out his books from Lake City's segregated library. He went on to become Karate champion, earned an MIT PhD in physics, and became a NASA astronaut. Today that library is named after him. [read more: buff.ly/2A1lEA2]

If you think it is just a coincidence that Kevin McCarthy was named Speaker of the House one hour after the end of Jan 6 - after monopolizing the news cycle for the entire 2nd anniversary of the Trump ignited attack on the U.S. Capitol (and 3 days prior) THEN YOU ARE THE MARK.
