"Slovenly" is a great word.

Hanks

It seems as though Tom Hanks is perpetually living 50 years in the past.

In the age of smart phones I enjoy fact checking the random bullshit overheard in public places.

Noise

Summary of my life 24/7: Attempting to read a book (or some other activity which requires concentration) while simultaneously being hyper-aware of the the humming of the refrigerator, the ticking of the clocks, the movement of traffic outside, and the extremely faint sound of my neighbors television downstairs. All the while trying to also shut out the noise of my brain thinking about 10 other distinct things at the same time.

Issac Asimov

Quote by Isaac Asimov I've always liked:

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

I kinda wish there was a penguin channel on TV.
