@TheMikeSalk As for Belichick, we should have no sympathy. We all know Belichick used f**kery to win, e.g. Spy gate. If you use f**kery to win, you have to accept that f**kery may be used against you--and you lose. Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you. Great interview!

I’d like to know what’s really going on behind closed doors that’s so important they have to pull out the Wrongly Deported Man shell game to distract us. Check your pockets, everyone.

I just got autocorrected on "a far away land" to "a faraway land." Huh. Idk. A faraway land sounds like a place you grow wheat, not a distant magical place. It needs that visual breath of two words, you know? Hmm... I think they need me on the Usage Panel.

I spent 5 min fighting the cellophane wrapper on a pkg of gum and I thought 1). Who decided to make gum the most difficult thing on the planet to unwrap? and 2). How many ppb of microplastics did I ingest fingering this cellophane for 5 min? I can feel the plastic inside me now.

@garthstein I kind of meant it to describe folks who know their ABCs and can read words, but lack the intellectual stamina or drive to read books.

I assume most folks on here are functionally illiterate, but for those who aren't- have you read this novel & when did you read it? I read it in 8th & 11th grades in English class & again in college on my own. I hadn't read it in 25 years until reading it again this weekend.

@BradMiller1010 "Functionally illiterate" speaks to the idea of the way we, as a society, ignore the benefits of reading literature, specifically, increased empathy.

Hey @mattsouthworth do you ever wish you had an artificial intelligence to read all the books you want to read and allow you to access total understanding of everything in a millisecond? @elonmusk

Can someone please tell the guy sitting next to me that’s it’s really poor form to talk about how many planes DON’T crash while waiting on the tarmac for take-off?
