‘The Furious’ 火遮眼: Love, Fathers and Husbands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ June 12, 2026
“The Furious” ( 火遮眼 Huǒ zhē yǎn) is 113-minutes of inventive, violent Asian martial arts choreography, punctuated by splattering blood and the crunching of bodies meeting the fury of fatherly fists. All of this over-the-top violence is forgivable because of its driven by a mysterious Chinese father Wang Wei (Xie Miao) trying to save his […]

Shaw received an impossible radio transmission. Cate and Keiko uncover an ancient link to Titan X. Isabel has a proposition for Kentaro.

Yet it also reminds us that the story of Asians and Asian Americans often requires Asian Americans to raise their voices. “Ascent” is about the life and career of aerospace engineer Qian Xuesen (钱学森), missed opportunities […]

When I lived in Pasadena, Altadena or Orange County, I wasn’t that concerned with the mayoral race in Los Angeles or even my hometown, but […]

Ms. Geek Speaks: How to Analyze Facts or TB today Versus COVID-19 May 22, 2026
This is an example of poor analysis of the facts. People did die, but where and why did they die? In 2022 only 565 deaths from TB were reported in the US. TB is rare in the US. According to the WHO, 1.23 million people died of TB in 2024. “Globally, TB is the world’s […]
