Why do nerd billionaires all eventually try to pretend to be cool? Isn’t it enough to be the richest, most powerful men on the planet? Stop acting like Tony Stark and stop going to the gym so much, it’s embarrassing

Meng's lawyers had pinned high hopes that these documents would prove that the US fraud case against Meng was bogus, that the Americans had misled the BC Supreme Court, and that Meng would be freed. BUT NO DICE
Canadian govt lawyers (representing US interests) said the hundreds of pages of documents were irrelevant to an extradition hearing and should be raised at Meng's trial instead. Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes didn't release reasons, but it appears she agreed
My Mum and Dad met as children in the 1930s, partnered up as teenagers, and were inseparable until the day pa exited this world a few years back. Just a random tweet of admiration, folks
Both families simply assumed them to be a love match from the time they were very small children. How unusual to live your whole life - like, from the time of your first memories - knowing that you had found The One? And being right! It's incredible, when I think about it

When fire consumed Lytton, claiming lives and ruining others, there was a further loss: the destruction of a precious collection of Chinese-Canadian heritage at the Lytton Chinese History Museum scmp.com/news/china/dip… via @SCMPNews

The museum was the award-winning passion project of Lorna Fandrich, its owner, creator and curator (pic by Lytton Chinese History Museum)
On This Day, 17 years ago, a lost dog walked into our home in Australia while workers were delivering a refrigerator
We assumed, wrongly, he was theirs. They assumed, wrongly, he was ours. He did not care and made himself at home by jumping into my wife's lap and immediately falling asleep
We fed him & wondered WTF, this is amazing. We left the doors open thinking, ok, maybe he lives nearby & will go home. Nope. But a few hours later, after eating most of a loaf of bread, he saw a family walking by on the riverfront and scampered off to join them. Kids were v happy
This is one of the dudes seen at Justin Trudeau's dumpling-rolling party/Liberal fundraiser at the Vancouver home of Pan Miaofei: "Chinese-Canadian businessman Xiao Hua Gong cuts record-breaking $70m deal with NZ police over frozen assets" via @nzheraldnzherald.co.nz/nz/chinese-can…
