Hi, I'm Tony Leung. What you've just seen was fiction. In real life, I would never cheat on my wife, even if she were cheating on me first, even with Maggie Cheung. Adultery: Just Don't Do It

You may think you think you don't know enough about trans rights and sports to take a stand, but I assure you that you do. On the one hand, kids competing and supporting each other with maturity and grace. On the other, the dumbest, meanest adults, people you'd cross the street to avoid. Easy choice

Actions that do great immediate harm and have no credible path to making the world better, are not excused by someone shouting a slogan you like beforehand, or having some symbolic resonance with a sympathetic cause. All the sneering at consequentialist reasoning has driven some people off a cliff.

Just jokingly put a pair of Ray Bans on my baby’s face and, unfortunately, they made her look really fucking cool. This kid’s going to cost me so much money.

If Uber tells you to do something politically, pretty safe to say you should do the exact opposite

As something of a bar enthusiast myself I'm also a transit funding enthusiast because I like when others and I get home safely from the bar

Took my baby daughter out to a concert tonight and it has convinced me that there is not any person in society more publicly celebrated than Dad Taking Their Child Out In Public

I did not think I cared about Lilo & Stitch that much but I just found out how they changed the ending for the remake and I don’t know if I’ve ever been angrier about a storytelling choice in my entire life

lmao the political reporter on the abc7 news just did a story about the deadline for the budget bill and said they’re gonna have to go balls to the wall to get it done and his face looked like that wasn’t the phrase he meant to use

There’s a guy on the old site who did a daily tracker of the # of murders in Chicago. It was actually useful data, but he only did it to criticize Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson. He even had a tag called “Brandon’s Bodies” Anyway, he only posts like once a month now. Funny time to stop your bit

it's unfathomably messed up that the president of the United States is using the power of his office to go after a single high school kid.
