SimplyNoise for Android is excellent. I ride a commuter train into work and I love reading, but I simply cannot read when there are conversations around me - one of my quirks, it’s impossible to tune out speech.

Alec, Kate, and Melissa: a nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

@RealDonaldTrump, get to it:

I watched every minute of it today. For years this will be seen as an extraordinary day in American political history.

South Carolina: proudly not supporting armed secession for 19 0 days.

This man is going to get us all killed.

Just watched the first one the other day and I can’t believe it came out when I was in high school. (It’s aged much better than me.)
