LIVE: Zohran Mamdani swearing-in ceremony for New York City mayor YouTube video by Associated Press

Watching Zohran Mamdani's swearing in made me little bit more hopeful for 2026. www.youtube.com/live/zj4hZVx...

Had the most awful NYE, which summarizes 2025 perfectly. But I am grateful to start a new job after being underemployed for a year, walk 10K steps most days, and have a cat who likes me 95% of the time. Wishing everyone strength to overcome challenges in 2026 and find joy in the simple things.

Binging shows and really enjoying the new mystery thriller "The Copenhagen Test" on Peacock, executive produced by James Wan and starring Simu Liu. Relieved that Simu is starring in a good show (yes, rep sweats is still real). I also love Melissa Barrera and Sinclair Daniel.

Not me bawling at Bowen Yang’s emotional last sketch on SNL.

Spotted this gem marching at my local #NoKings rally.

Donald Trump Has Been A Disaster For Democracy — But Excellent For My Sex Life "I started doing something I hadn’t done in a while: I climbed into bed. With my husband."

A humorous article by a friend on how Trump ruined news (and democracy) for her but helped her spend more sexy time with her husband. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

I got to preview "Good Fortune" and it surprisingly touches on workplace exploitation and unions. Keanu Reeves plays a naive and sweet-natured angel that reminds me of his character in Bill and Ted. Sandra Oh is a regal archangel.

Thanks so much--just want to have the simple population percentages disaggregated by race and year. Sigh.

Did this administration get rid of US Census' quickfacts? This has been my primary source for U.S. population demographics by race. 😭

This made me laugh: I tried to buy a BTS happy meal but it was too early and they were only selling breakfast, but when I got to the window the McDonald’s worker asked me if I was trying to collect the figurines and tried to sell me the entire set for $40.

Wow, when did the #Emmys become the #CMAs?

I took a lot of bible courses decades ago — really — and I don’t remember there being a grand prize for making the most pious social media post being on the list of “get you into heaven” items.

Oh no, hope @iceblock.app is on android soon!

‘I wanted to do something to fight back’: This iPhone app alerts users to nearby ICE sightings | CNN Business Joshua Aaron has worked in and around the tech industry for around two decades. He built his first app — a blackjack game — at computer camp when he was 13.

Been thinking about how to defend myself and my friends, family and neighbors from getting disappeared by ICE, and found this app called ICEBlock that alerts users to nearby ICE sightings. Downloaded it immediately. www.cnn.com/2025/06/30/t...

Feeling grateful and happy to return to academia as full-time faculty after a 2 year non-academic stint and 1 year adjuncting!

I'm afraid that's Jeff Yang, not Jeff Chang. But apparently the two of them had a laugh over your comment (they get mixed up a lot).

“Blocked by Hollywood’s low ceiling of expectations, Bruce had returned to…Hong Kong to fight and to be seen…His very presence on screen was a protest.” — @zentronix.bsky.social Can’t wait to read Jeff Chang’s new biography, “Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America.”
