Angelenos, who are more accustomed to drought warnings and bushfires, aren’t coping with the “diabolical fluid falling from the sky,” writes Jeff Yang from L.A.

“Elemental” may not be a perfect film, but it’s the perfect one for a moment when Asian Americans are finding the confidence and platform to dig ever deeper into the complicated and unruly aspects of our reality, writes Jeff Yang.

One might wonder why David Choe’s appearance in “Beef” prompted the revival of a decade-old controversy, when two seasons of headlining a show of his own did not. But the real question is why the shock and disgust faded away so quickly, writes Jeff Yang.

Gun violence is the curse America has wished upon itself, and no one is immune to it, writes Jeff Yang after the Lunar New Year weekend mass shooting in Monterey Park, California.

He cites as a better example of how to use technology and aesthetics artist Drue Kataoka, whose work “Will Your Heart Pass the Test?” – an NFT project created in partnership with ILMxLAB – is inspired by ancient Egyptian myth. Its proceeds will go to the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change and #StopAAPIHate.

The Big Lie didn’t overturn the result of the 2020 election, and it didn’t work to get Newsom out of office. But it does consistently rally the conservative base and raise huge amounts of money, encouraging Republicans to keep spreading it, writes Jeff Yang.
