Get Your Dunkin' Friday

It's here. H-Mart in Urbana . This is a game-changer for our area. We have a couple smaller Asian markets, but nothing like an H-Mart. Plus there are food stalls! I've been reading Crying in H-Mart and it's been a great read. It taps into how much Asian culture connects with the food we make and eat. I'm headed to Chicago this weekend. Catch up with old friends and cheer on the Commanders. I hope this weekend is a nice escape for all.  Here are your highlights: The posthumous album of Mac Miller's "Balloonerism" has been released.  Oligarchs in bow ties . Our nation's rich know Trump is easily influenced by big money. They now are openly using him to their advantage. Fck them all.  New York State will close schools for the Lunar New Year.   Ceasefire closer for Israel/Gaza . Still unsure about this. Kushner Properties the West Bank is still highly likely.  Dems are living in the past . Until they realize this is a zero-sum game and Republicans have n...

It's here. The Orange Mussolini is about to implement a Real World/Road Rules challenge cabinet. I'm thinking of taking off to Chicago. I need to get out of rural America and see REAL Uhmmerikka. I need to move in with a bunch of 90s baddies and redo my image. Sounds like a solid answer to life's existential threats.  Here are your highlights:  Biden's lasting legacy . Warning: Oligarchs on the doorsteps.  Asians Misbehaving: Lindy Li is now raising money for Trump. There's only one Michelle Malkin. DAMS! To dam or not to dam that is the question. Salmon vs. Army Corp of Engineers.  I know the price of eggs was the biggest concern for voters. I KNOW.   Asian-American and Childhood Allergies   - I have all the allergies. Hay fever, dust mites, avocado, bananas, tree nuts. It's time to start drilling down in these studies.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

Okay. Can we talk about Skeleton Crew? No spoilers I promise. This show has been a delight in a world of impending doom. It hits on nostalgia, adventure, and childlike wonder in such a satisfying way, that I can't wait to watch every episode again. I look forward to watching it with my oldest. Cuddled up and explaining to her the Force, and what the star systems in the Star Wars universe entail. The post-Empire world and how the X-Wings are so friggin cool. Bravo to the team that built this universe and created a wonderfully fun show. You can tell by my fragmented ADHD brain I really enjoyed the show.  I've been pondering one thing as we lead up to inauguration: the fires that are consuming LA, and life; art finds a way. We must keep creating. We must keep telling our stories. We must continue to point the way forward through art. We can educate through it. We can inspire through it. We can hold authoritarians to account. Keep creating love, this is the way.  Here are your hig...

Meta will fire you for being a LOW PERFORMER

Meta will lay YOU off : That is unless you blow $50 billion on a failed project no one asked for: I know there's no accountability for guys like Zuck, but his LACK OF SELF-AWARENESS is on another level. Only Elon can rival it.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

Get Your Dunkin' Tuesday

Six more days until Orange Mussolini is inaugurated. I for one, will not be watching. Instead, I'll sip on some tea and watch Oppenheimer or some other long long long-ass movie. How is everyone feeling right now? I'm numb. My personal life is overwhelming all of my senses. Work is starting off the year chaotic. And my friends are fleeing a fire that seems unstoppable. I'm going to do my best to be positive during these times, but damn 2025 take a chill pill.  Here are your highlights:  Trump in a just world would be in jail. Jack Smith had him dead to rights.   Americans hate their jobs and CEOs don't care.   We lost my mother to brain cancer. My mother-in-law to Alzheimer's. Here are ways to reduce your risk of dementia. At this point, I think we should label Crypto-bros as "economic terrorists ".  Pete Hegseth, a woefully unqualified candidate for Secretary of Defense, begins his nomination process. The FBI did him a solid and didn't interview the wo...

COMMANDERS!!!! (I'm still not a fan of the name) Boy, what a game! First playoff win since 2006. I really can't believe how fun this season has been. How shocking and exciting it has been. I'm a die-hard fan, and seeing this team triumph with low expectations is wild. It's a silver lining to what looks to be a tough year ahead. How was everyone's weekend? Do anything fun? My big accomplishment was doing laundry while being snowed in. Today is 12 degrees, and it feels like 4. There is more inside time. Luckily more football tonight.  Here are your highlights:  Fact Check on the LA fire hydrants Dunkin out of donuts ...?! Is there a chance for a Gaza ceasefire ? The question is, what is left of Gaza?  LEAVE TRANS FOLKS ALONE , weirdos. MAGA is going to make these four years miserable. Lies, lies, and more absurd lies.  Biden leaves a stronger economy than the one he inherited. Trump will likely crash it as fast as possible. While Zuck and company grovel like the cuc...

  This past week has been one of the hardest of my life. So I thought vibes were important. I never really appreciated fully Mac Miller until this Tiny Desk. You can see the artistry and what he was growing to be before his life was cut too short. This Friday as LA burns, Trump gets closer to the presidency, and the right-wing of America takes reigns, I take solace that they can't take our music. Our artistry, our creativity. No matter how hard they try.  Here are your highlights:  Trump to be sentenced U of I wildlife director gives advice about protecting animals from bird flu Pizzagate Gunman killed  - the fact he was out, not in a mental health facility, and had access to a gun...oh boy Genocide continues in Gaza and no one seems to care anymore . Kushner Beach Front Properties coming soon.  Honda releases new electric vehicle models . And I don't want to get on a high horse here, but if just one car company invested in HIGH SPEED RAIL they'd change everyth...
