Shannon is naturally soft-spoken, polite, spiritually aware. I am so glad that today though, she has let it rip. Sometimes people have to be told to shut the f--k up. #Quietnomore. #bruceleeforever

The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax — ProPublica. This is all pretty obscene.

Such a dream to be working with everyone on this project!!

This is how to poke fun of Asian Americans. @CruzKayne could have probably just done a whole ditty on Yangs. Andrew, Alan, Bowen, Hudson, Jack. Jerry, Gene, Janet, Yangs don’t lack! (See what I did there?)
