The Iraq and Afghanistan vet’s fiance tried selling a man’s gold-chain necklace, but Trenker offered to make the transaction due to safety concerns, which turned...

jhnmyr:
If you want to be truly intimidating,

If you want to have strong connections with others

“By that measure, one of the most illuminating moments during Galifianakis’s performance in TriBeCa came when he parted ways, momentarily, with his audience. After performing a few “characters,” like Guy From Queens Who Is Obsessed With Cargo Shorts — a regular bit that changes only in the particulars from show to show — he announced one that seemed to have been made up on the spot: The Kid...

Poem
When I visited Wayne at Rikers Island,
I had a suit on with some slippers,
and the guard said,
Man, those shoes are amazing.
And I said, Yes, they are.
I’m Kanye West.

Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The…

I usually just delete them because I’m lazy and I just don’t really care. But they emailed me twice today and I finally decided enough was enough. I scrolled to the...
