I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made this point, but please take this as a WARNING, and not merely an observation: Anti-social behavior—think about the guy blasting music from a speaker, talking loudly on speaker-phone, smoking inside the subway car, etc.—in public spaces is often engaged in ***_as a dare_***. The whole point is to provoke anger and annoyance in those around him, which serves two purposes, depending on the response he’s hoping for:
(1) If everyone bites their tongues, the antisocial asshole gets to tell himself he’s such a badass no one would dare speak up; or
(2) If someone confronts him, he finds his excuse to scratch a violent itch.
Understand that saying something to these people will often come with a real risk of violent confrontation.

#KarmeloAnthony only had his mother stand up and beg for mercy. No coaches. No teachers. No administrators. No clergy. No neighbors. No friends. No aunts, uncles....grandparents.
This "4.0 student" had nobody but his mother to plead for leniency.
That speaks volumes.
I predicted to Vanity Fair last year that we were about to leave a polarizing era and enter one defined by romance and optimism.
Everyone is exhausted. At the end of the day, we want many of the same things. We just have different ideas about how to get there.
Hollywood was once associated with “degeneracy,” but ironically, while the internet has been blackpilling over the sexes, young Hollywood has been giving us real-life examples of love and loyalty.
From friends-to-lovers couple Tom Holland and Zendaya, to Dylan Sprouse defending his celebrity crush (and now wife, Barbara Palvin) from an armed intruder, to the whimsical fairytale romance of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner, the tides are changing. I hope the younger generation is inspired because romance is not dead. It’s thriving.
