People used to talk to me on Twitter. I liked that part...

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Dr. Crusher, in her blue Doctor's uniform, stands at a food replicator station. She looks pissed, but like quiet controlled pissed not wild crazy pissed. Closed caption reads, "Computer, deactivate food slot."

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.
