Celeb Tweets- James Gunn (@JamesGunn): Karachi Kops – I’m the only person I know who has ever seen this show. It’s a reality show like Cops, but in Karachi, so devoid of most of the protocols of American cops. Sad, intense, and compelling. Some episodes are on YouTube; I wish I could find the whole thing somewhere.
- Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan): At least being under quarantine is helping me keep my fitness goals of… still not having a personal trainer.
- Jake Flores (@feraljokes): If people start calling you a hero that means they’re about to let you die.
