Somewhere, scattered across this great nation, in institutes of higher learning, are about 13,000 social science, econ, biomedicine grad students planning to do their thesis or next paper on ‘masks’

UK: nah

Approximately 70% of US media employees spend approximately 70% of their time refreshing their TL to try to reply sarcastically to someone who doesn’t want masks, or to retweet that a R against masks is killing grandmas

but not UK. they’re just done
