Read more books, watch less TV.

Be patient; don't be an asshole.

Be kind; don't be an asshole.

Stop complaining. Be grateful. Help someone.

@ianbremmer He denied being you, but of course I'm skeptical

[Dr. Awkward @robert_madison]

@rustyrockets I doubt we'll ever meet, Russell. But if we do, I feel pretty confident we'll be fast friends. Hope you're doing well.

I don't know who needs to hear this at the @DNC, but Biden did fucking terrible tonight. What an absolute disaster. Holy fuck that was bad.

[Dr. Awkward @robert_madison]

@ianbremmer Difficult to watch. Biden fumbling. Trump is simply a better showman. This is depressing.

In the NYT's game 'Connections', there's a 1 in 1820 chance that you could randomly select the correct combination of 4 words when you start the game.

@MardyFish Dude. For real. I hurt more after playing tennis than I do after BJJ. Tennis is hard on everything hips down.

@frankdpi @JoeKoffee I've been referring to it as the 'sportsification' of politics

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

A rabbi was asked by one of his students “Why did God create atheists?” After a long pause, the rabbi finally responded with a soft but sincere voice. “God created atheists” he said, “to teach us the most important lesson of them all – the lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his actions are based on his sense of morality. Look at the kindness he bestows on others simply because he feels it to be right. When someone reaches out to you for help. You should never say ‘I’ll pray that God will help you.’ Instead, for that moment, you should become an atheist – imagine there is no God who could help, and say ‘I will help you’.”

@echocharles Also, I recently re-watched both 'Band of the Hand' and 'Manhunter' within the past year. I couldn't help but notice some stylistic similarities between the two, and sure enough, 'Manhunter' was directed by Michael Mann, who was also the Executive Producer for #BotH.

[Dr. Awkward @robert_madison]

@echocharles No bullshit, I was thinking of 'Band of the Hand' as soon as you started talking! We're a small crew, Echo: Those of us in the know! BTW, the lead actor for #BotH is none other than Stephen Lang, whom most people might recognize as Col. Miles Quaritch from 'Avatar'.

@RadioFreeTom If you haven't already read @AnnieJacobsen's book, Nuclear War, I believe you will be quite impressed.

@AnnieJacobsen I bought your book ('Nuclear War') yesterday and finished it today. Couldn't stop reading it. What a terrifying, horrifying, absolutely riveting and compelling read. Well done. Thank you.
