Seems extremely noteworthy that Joe Manchin just said he supports legislation that would “replace fossil fuel generation with advanced nuclear power.” Time to make a deal on the reconciliation bill!

Media people are the worst!

So sick of @jbarro, @NateSilver538, @mattyglesias, @DLeonhardt who actually do little, but sit in judgment of others for a living. They are privileged, arrogant, often wrong. They provide little social value compared to what public health professionals have done for this country. https://t.co/Hm7tq6f3Tl

I have a hypothesis that some issues in the US come from the epidemiology world having HIV/AIDS as its foundational touchpoint while Asia post-SARS was more focused on respiratory viruses as a subject of concern.

I am not the person in this debate making weird arguments about people's sexual orientation!

@mattyglesias If you’re gonna serve up some thinly veiled homophobia, I wish you’d just say it without the innuendo: HIV+ gay guy is still upset about AIDS, wish he’d move on so I can move on.

Kai Ryssdal @kairyssdal

Sorry to hear about your divorce.

Marcantonio Rendino @mvgfr

@kairyssdal we have a new low; beyond nuking fish in the company microwave: my wife just nuked canned cat food. how can I ever use it again? how can I even consider eating again?

“The Russian FSB were suppose to bribe the Ukraine military but due to corruption they pocketed the billions because they didn’t think Putin was that dumb to ever invade Ukraine, and now Russia is losing the war” is the craziest headline. https://t.co/rhiOtP4Atz
