    "Playwright Jeremy O Harris arrested in Japan for alleged drug smuggling

    The writer of the Tony award-nominated Slave Play remains in custody after authorities say they found MDMA in his bag

    American actor and playwright Jeremy O Harris, known for the Tony-nominated Slave Play, was arrested last month at an airport in Japan on suspicion of attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into the country, local authorities said late on Thursday.

  4. Infuriating! But what can you expect from an agency that similarly constructed a regular pedestrian walkway across Edsa just a few years ago that was equally challenging, as it zigged and zagged over the MRT? The #MMDA was already jeered on social media for it, so one would think its executives would take a more circumspect approach to similar projects in its future. We were wrong. Stupid is as #stupid does. #opinion #SomethingLikeLife #government #Philippines

    What the heck do they mean #EDSA #BikeLanes are "a few meters wide"?! It's not even 1 meter wide! 🤷‍♀️
