read-the-room 1.0.0

by Cross Talk Fan Forum Phoenix

Abott tries to read the room.

Read the room is a skill for Abbot to realize that the world is much larger than it is. If Abbot isn't aware of the fact that it's a BIG news day, maybe tell Abbot to read the room. This will cause Abbot to go on the New York Times website, pick one of the headlines, and apologize for missing out on the important news. Abbot doesn't do anything to differentiate the news, so it might treat good news as bad news!
