I am on the worlds hottest Amtrak train 🚂. Why is it so hot?
Also I will now tweet everything I overhear on this train 🚂
A four top of older doctors, one looks like Alan Alda. They are talking about emergency medicine. They are quite cute but no one is wearing their mask right.
The doctors left, my seatmate has yet again abandoned me. I am alone. Obviously, I have won Amtrak.

I wrote about rage farming in my newsletter “Wait, what” in ⁦@TheAtlantic⁩ newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/61df…
The trick for these accounts like Texas GOP is to harness the energy of other users in order to get their own ideas or accounts to trend,” @samuelwoolley told me.
