[7/*] From a reading comprehension standpoint, this is very straightforward (to me). But Twitter is now _littered_ with threads of people who are all over the map on what they are asserting. It's insane. I guess Twitter is where people who failed reading comprehension end up?

[8/*] It is so frustrating that it makes me want to make a weekly show where all I do is recap what the subjects, verbs, and objects of the week's news sentences were, because apparently nobody can handle that if it gets even slightly complicated.

[9/*] Like it seems that people on Twitter can only handle one subject. Like there was a grant proposal. They could handle that. But once there were two grant proposals, that's the end of it. Their brain can't track two similar things at the same time, so it's over?
