For the first I have A) a pair of Ray Bans & 2) my corrective lenses in sunglasses. It’s such a trip to see clearly whilst wearing sunglasses 😂💪🏻

Good Soldiers rarely leave because of hard work or high standards.

They leave because of poor leadership, lack of trust, and toxic command climates

The Red Sox, in need of offense and leadership, dumped Devers. Now a year after acquiring him, the Giants are open to dumping him, too. Must be the media.

Best buddy cop movie of all time. Yes, I know 24 Hours exists and I’m just as much of an Eddie Murphy stan as the next GenX/Millennial/Xennial. But, Tango & Cash goes so mfing hard and has so many great IRL jokes to it.

Right, drop an awesome Buddy Cop movie...

I'll Start: Tango & Cash

This show was so damn unhinged, I loved it 😂 Kevin Connolly & Nikki Cox held it down, though

Unhappily Ever After 1995

Ron Leavitt was given the mission to create a show for WB even more offensive than his show Married with Children, and he succeeded for the incest jokes alone!

It lasted five seasons, and is completely unavailable in any format.

Damon Wayans says he knew Jim Carrey was special: “He’s our Eminem”

“I'm the one that brought Jim to Keenen. Me and Jim used to be in the comedy club. Jim Carrey is a master impressionist. He would get standing ovations in a comedy club doing a 20-minute set. Any comedian will tell you that's damn near impossible. There’s few and far between that can do that. That's how good he was”

“But he hated doing the impressions because people thought that's all he did. We made a pact that we were going to push each other. He would go on stage, couldn’t do his impressions, and we'd yell stuff out to him. Then he'd do the same thing for me. We'd challenge each other on stage. We had nothing to lose”

“I truly knew he was special. It didn't take Keenen long to go, he’s the guy. He's our Eminem”

John C. Reilly questions why human rights have become political

"If you stand up for human rights, why is that a right or left thing? Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights?"

"Elon Musk says, 'don’t be fooled by the empathy trap'. ... Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”

"Do unto others ... It's crazy that we have to argue for these things"

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

In 1997, actor John C. McGinley’s son, Max, was born with Down syndrome. Shortly after, John's talent agent pulled him aside to deliver what was framed as practical advice: Do not talk about this publicly. Keep it quiet. People will stop hiring you.

For some, that might have sounded like reasonable career preservation. Protect the livelihood, avoid the spotlight, and pretend nothing had changed.

John’s response was immediate. He fired the agent.

Then, he did the exact opposite of what he had been told. He brought Max everywhere. Red carpets, talk shows, film sets, and public events. Wherever John went, Max was right beside him. At a time when society still largely preferred to keep individuals with developmental disabilities out of sight, John made a different choice. He made his son visible. Openly, proudly, and entirely without apology.

What began as a father's protective instinct grew into decades of fierce advocacy. John became one of the country's most recognizable voices for Down syndrome awareness. He spoke at global conferences, testified before Congress, and fought hard for employment law reforms that created real opportunities for people with disabilities to work, earn, and live independently.

During this journey, a reporter asked John a question that revealed far more about society's biases than it did about Max. The reporter asked if John ever wished his son were normal.

John didn't hesitate. He replied that Max was normal. The question wasn't. It was a blunt rejection of the idea that a person’s worth is measured by how well they fit into a narrow, conventional box.

Decades have passed since that conversation. Max is now 27 years old. He works, navigates his community, and lives an independent life filled with possibilities that the critics in 1997 never could have imagined for him.

Reflecting on their journey, John often says that Max never limited his life. He expanded it. Through his son, he learned what love, patience, and true commitment require.

The world signaled early on that it would have preferred Max to remain hidden in the shadows. John spent nearly three decades ensuring that the world looked Max right in the eye. Some fathers protect their children by shielding them from the world. Others protect them by refusing to let the world look away.

True inclusion begins when we stop treating differences as deficits. Max didn't need to change to fit into the world.

The world needed to change to make room for Max.

Jack Nicholson’s deal to play the Joker in Batman (1989) is one of the smartest in Hollywood history. 🦇🤡

He dropped his usual $10M fee to $6M upfront in exchange for a cut of the box office, merchandise, and future sequels. Nicholson reportedly earned $50–90 million from one movie. Pure power move.

Every sick bastard Red Sox fan who watches all 162 will be traumatized by this season the same way we still talk about 2012 and 2020. But when 2026 comes up 15 years from now, we’ll all immediately have flashbacks to last night’s game specifically. That’s how bad that was.

This is why women choose the bear. Imagine going to this police department because you need help and think the police will protect you and instead make officers are using their databases to look up your personal information to track you down afterwards because they want to sleep with you. There’s literally nowhere a woman can go without being at risk of a running into a male predator. Not even police stations.
