I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.
People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

The best scene in Jaws is when the boat guys sing a traditional sea shanty and Jaws pops out of the water and everyone is terrified but Jaws starts singing as well. There's this unspoken promise in the air that no one will eat anyone until the song ends.
