As somebody who grew up in Pennsylvania, here is what I have heard about Joe Paterno for 40 years.

If you see something, and you have the savvy and insight of a psychiatrist, say something.

A wiser man than I summed him up best- Gladwell writes books for people who don’t read books.

Gladwell has made an absolute killing by writing “Maybe just trust your gut” to boomers who just wanted confirmation bias that everything they think is right anyway.

Also, you don’t need a PhD to understand child rape/molestation. Paterno was a force and an institution at Penn State. He didn’t do that by being a kindly…

Simmons: Right.

Boomers never learned how to deal with TV availability 24/7 just like they never learned to deal with the internet and social media and always being plugged in. They went from 3 channels that were only on some of the time to being completely soaked in information at every moment.

The last time I went to my parents’ house they had Faux News on and Jesse Waters came on. This was the day after the Mueller Report came out. Three lies in the first minute. I said so and my dad said “maybe so, but he’s entertaining.” My dad is the more highly educated (M.D.) and rational of my parents which is scary.…

It doesn’t even require 12+ hours of TV per day. A little Rush in the car here, some Facebook threads there, 30 minutes of Fox before dinner - soon enough your mom is mentioning how it’s legal to defecate on the streets in San Francisco during a conversation about next weekend’s birthday gathering.

I swear Boomers are anti-volunteering. They consider it grunt-work some underpaid employee needs to be doing since their taxes are so high. Pretty much any altruistic career I or my wife have mentioned looking at has been met with pretty strong derision 

Wow, this is remarkably close to what I’m dealing with. My wife is one more incident away from never speaking to my parents again, because of the way she talks about my wife behind her back, but not too far away for my older kids to hear. She literally hates that my wife volunteers, because it’s somehow harmful to our…

Good, but also sad, to hear I’m not the only one. Since my parents retired, it’s the strange steady decline of mental function. Overreacting and angry at everything. They hate Trump, its all my mom posts about on facebook. Yet, I guarantee when I’m not around they say horrible bigoted things about random people.

Trump has really helped me understand my own family better and vice-versa...which is so much sadder than it sounds. 

I just want to say that while these videos are good no matter who is Remembering Some, the Roth-Lauren combo is sacrosanct and we should all cherish their videos.

...I don’t think you listen to this booth often.

Well that's no reason for his soul to be uncomfortable 

That’s a sort of distorted version of a more common line of wisdom: a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in soccer - because it’s a gap that’s big enough to make you complacent and play conservatively, but also not quite big enough that the other team has no hope of overcoming it.

Yes. The most common lead is 1, and that’s always the worst lead. So if you have the choice between having an even lead and an odd lead, you should always choose even.

I wish I could put A-Rod in a room with the kid from my little league team who once told me that it’s better to hit a bases-loaded single than a grand slam— because it’s important to have runners on base...
