Riz Ahmed's excellent, heightened, & somehow underrated TV comedy BAIT also happens to boast an incredible—and incredibly original—soundtrack and score. made a case for why the show's music deserves an Emmy nod:

instead of silly messages asking for 5 bucks, Dems need to send messages promising the highest donor first crack at the wrecking ball for the ballroom

“It’s absurd. It’s absolutely impossible for people to comply when the law is written loosely enough for police on the ground to interpret it however they would like. Police are chasing people into the night. It boggles my mind. It’s so irresponsible, and it’s not keeping anyone safe.”

If you can pitch in, you’ll be doing a solid for a lot of people who really benefit from the work John does around mental health. Are you a member who could maybe boost a few dollars monthly? Are you a nonmember who might be able to become one? Five bucks a month?

If you love rom coms and AAPI representation: watch A NICE INDIAN BOY on Hulu. Based on the play by Madhuri Shekar, an Indian American doctor played by Karan Soni is nervous about introducing his family to his boyfriend Jonathan Groff. It’s sweet, surprising, and the parents had me cackling

A Nice Indian Boy – Movie Review A Nice Indian Boy is a delightful and heartfelt romantic comedy that stands out as one of the year’s most charming films. Seamlessly blending the comedic warmth of classics like My Big Fat Greek Wedding with the vibrant romance of Bollywood, it carves out a fresh…

This week, rare moment where we have two queer Asian rom-coms in theaters at the same time: The Wedding Banquet & A Nice Indian Boy! For @gqmagazine.bsky.social, talked to Andrew Ahn, Bowen Yang, Karan Soni & Jonathan Groff about subverting the rom-com & how we got here www.gq.com/story/queer-...

Wrote about the hilarious and heartwarming A Nice Indian Boy for our latest Watchlist This feature:

Someone finally gave the adorable Karan Soni a fucking leading role and it's in an absolutely delightful gay movie with Jonathan Groff! It's called A NICE INDIAN BOY and it's out in theaters now. I loved it--from the musical moments to the family drama (and comedy!). More movies like this please!

I was incredibly lucky to see it at SXSW last year and I want to see it again

If you're lucky enough to live in a city A NICE INDIAN BOY is playing in you should go see it asap & if, like me, you're not, you should ask your local theater to start showing it. An actually funny, actually romantic romcom about queer joy, family, & figuring yourself out: youtu.be/Zzk9B8lne2w?...

Y’all need to see A Nice Indian Boy asap. It’s like having pure joy injected into your veins. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and smartly written and acted. Karan Soni and Johnathan Groff were amazing, as was the entire cast. Easily best movie I’ve seen this year in theaters.

Just sobbed my way through NICE INDIAN BOY. I am in my queer desi feelings. DDLJ plays a huge role in the movie, and I was reminded of how much I hate it. 😂 But the cultural relevance to particular desi demos can’t be denied. I know that aspect went right over a lot of viewers’ heads.

I don’t usually watch rom coms OR cheesy LGBTQ+ films so when I tell y’all that A Nice Indian Boy is actually a pretty good film, filled with some good laughs, and is the perfect lighthearted distraction you could use for about 90 minutes from the real world….please listen to me and go see the film!

Just saw “A Nice Indian Boy” at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. For 1 hour and 39 minutes, it was so engaging, I forgot the world is on fire. See it if you can—I loved it.

cannot overstate the degree to which i am negatively polarized against nimbys. like, if you go to a public meeting to speak against lower cost housing i think the city should eminent domain your house and your house specifically

Ta-Nehisi Coates wields words like sledgehammers.

After Trump was elected, I started to wonder what could the grassroots, cities, and states do to move the needle on climate change without federal support. It turns out, a lot (gift link)
