Ms. Geek Speaks: Karen Bass and the Non-Citizen Vote May 22, 2026
Why should someone in Florida be so concerned about the mayor of Los Angeles? So many people outside of Los Angeles seem to have an interest in the mayoral elections. 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 […]

Ms. Geek Speaks: The Casual Islamophobe Travels to Another City to Become the Viral Face of Hate May 21, 2026
On 19 May 2026, this was shared on Facebook amongst my acquaintances. That was a day after the shooting at a San Diego mosque where two teenagers opened fire and killed three men. The screenshot used here is from a video taken at a Wylie Independent School District school board meeting in 17 February 2026. […]

HBO’s ‘The A List: 15 Stories from Asian and Pacific Diasporas’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ May 19, 2026
HBO Max’s “The A List: 15 Stories from Asian and Pacific Diasporas” begins with a disheartening statement: “A lot of America is never going to see me as American” (Kumail Nanjiani). That’s a sad statement when you consider the first Asian since the crossing of the Bering Strait to reach the Americas over 15,00 years […]

Ms. Geek Speaks: Slave Trade and History and What We Need to Talk About May 19, 2026
Comedian Terrence K Williams posted this on his Facebook page. The modern US flag is juxtaposed against a flag that doesn’t seem to represent any country. The white and green flag somewhat resembles the flag of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but again, this doesn’t represent Islam or a country. The first failure […]

Flock to Family-Friendly ‘The Sheep Detectives’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ May 16, 2026
Sheep steal the spotlight from Hugh Jackman in the charming family-friendly murder mystery: “The Sheep Detective.” Although there is a murder, it isn’t bloody and you’ll learn a bit more about stereotypes, sheep and the nature of love in this cozy murder mystery. Based on German crime writer Leonie Swann’s 2005 novel “Three Bags Full,” […]

Animal Farm: Four Variations May 8, 2026
George Orwell’s satirical allegorical dystopian novel “Animal Farm,” was first published in 1945. It was a reflection of events leading to the Russian Revolution of 1917 which was followed by the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Joseph Stalin was the general secretary of the Communist Party from 1922 to 1952 and the premier from […]

LACMA Opens the David Geffen Galleries April 28, 2026
Sunday, 19 April 2026, the David Geffen Galleries opened to the press. The weather was fine and walking the galleries was an expansive experience. You need to go in with an open mind, comfortable shoes and no small children. At the opening ceremonies, the unusual architecture was addressed. The exterior is not meant to be […]

GO: See Diavolo’s ‘Escape’. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ April 11, 2026
If you love theater, the circus, acrobatics or dance and live in Los Angeles, you must see Diavolo’s “Escape.” “Only 90 audience members get to see 22 artists perform on large, mobile architectural structures under the choreography of Jacques Heim, the man who choreographed the Cirque du Soleil’s Las Vegas production “Ká.” This an exclusive, […]

Riz Ahmed’s ‘Hamlet’ Shakes Up Shakespeare, But Not Always in a Good Way ⭐️⭐️ April 11, 2026
Riz Ahmed’s “Hamlet” takes us to modern England, a place with cars and graffiti and a lively Desi community of which the titular Hamlet is a prominent member. It’s an intriguing premise, but while the performances are often riveting, the camera work and lighting often work against the material, with soft-focus and shaky cam at […]
