The best kind of heroism isn't stopping the violence while it's happening, it's doing what's needed to prevent the violence in the first place.

You wanted to learn the #KpopDemonHunters Zoey head towel thing! #yourkoreandad

I was so fortunate to get to attend the special screening (basically the premiere) of KPOP Demon Hunters last month, and it’s been incredible to see the millions of people around the world who are just as obsessed as I am! #KpopDemonHunters

Here with another reminder that perhaps the most damaging idea that human beings have ever spread is that some people are good and some people are bad.

Until there are ICE raids that target white people who are undocumented, this action by the current administration is blatant racism. And if the thought crossed your mind that there may not be white people who live in the US unlawfully, that’s your own racism to deal with.

I made the final table at a #PokemonTCG League Cup tournament yesterday and conceded the final match so my opponent could secure the +10 points towards qualifying for the World Championships. Here’s my “Jol-Tera” deck.

Am I the only person who thought, “Wouldn’t someone wonder if there was more than one person there named Joel?”

I’m honestly confused about what we’re meant to feel about rich people going on trips to space.

Has anyone moved a console piano across the country? What service/company did you use? Trying to figure out what it would take to move my childhood Baldwin piano from my parents' house in northern Virginia to here in SoCal.

Do you get tangled in your relationships? #YourKoreanDad

TOMORROW I'm launching my new YouTube channel "YKD and Centa," where we have fun with Pokemon cards! First video drops at 10am Pacific USA www.youtube.com/channel/UCTp...

Reflecting on the parallels between the reactions I’m seeing from a lot of folks online about this season of The White Lotus and… real life. The show is created as a whole season. It’s split up into individual episodes, which is how we consume it. <continued>

LOS ANGELES: Do you know a nice co-working space that does day passes? Kinda over the laptop-at-a-cafe thing and I'm in LA once a week and would love a reliable workspace.

Let’s visit Korea together! #YourKoreanDad

WOOHOO!!! So not only did my Lillie's Clefairy ex 126 from Battle Partners just get a PSA 10, it's THE FIRST PSA 10 IN THE WORLD!!!!! I'm pretty stoked! Not sure if being the first matters, but it sure feels good!!! #PokemonTCG #PokemonCards

Having gotten into #pokemoncards because of my gf's son, I've been really bummed how so many of the top YouTubers in the space have said and done some awful stuff. This sort of crap is too common. Anti-Asian racism around an... (checks notes) Asian cultural product? WTF?!?

If you know, you know! #Pokemon #PokemonCards #BattlePartners

I have my own little test to see where a.i. is at: I ask it about first crack and second crack during coffee roasting. It’s one of my favorite questions to ask because most coffee experts can’t actually explain it, and I wouldn’t expect a chatbot trained on online info to get it right.

Yikes. If you need me, I’m in bed. @ouraring.bsky.social

We’ve all heard folks say that being able to say “I don’t know” is a powerful and important ability. I want to challenge us one step further:

Greed is nothing to be proud of. Greed + [anything] = nothing to be proud of. You want something to be proud of? Show me care and regard for others, who are not your family or friends, and that is not about feeding *their* greed.

I’ve tried really hard to find inspiring and thoughtful content by men about healthy masculinity and Baldoni’s “Man Enough” podcast kept getting recommended, but I always found it lacking. There was something missing that I could never put my finger on. Somehow this all makes sense to me now.

Chose to celebrate my birthday in Seattle by bringing together my dear friends’ families together. It was an unforgettable time for Kimmie, Dylon and me. Happy birthday to me!

What’s on your a.i. wishlist? Stuff that you think artificial intelligence should be able to do soon or even now but isn’t available yet?

Here’s my question: You so often hear people say, “EVERYONE should be seeing a therapist,” and I probably agree. But what is the therapist-to-population ratio? How many more *good* therapists would we need to serve the population?

Does anyone know why the YouTube app on AppleTV is so buggy? I don’t think I’ve seen any such problems on any other AppleTV app. Dictation on search only works half the time, and I often can’t scroll over from the thumbnail grid to the menu on the left. Can’t imagine I’m the only one.

Yep. @xgofficial.bsky.social @mattbelloni.bsky.social @pjvogt.bsky.social #SpotifyWrapped

Times like these prompt me to reflect on how my views have been so warped being a reporter in America. When Yoon Suk Yeol became president by just 200,000 votes in 2022, I braced for a long recount fight cuz I’d covered the 2020 recount fights in U.S. swing states. I was so surprised when… 1/7

I don’t understand how people let themselves get annoyed at another person. I’m not saying it’s not a thing, it’s just that I can’t relate. Aside from when someone is being annoying on purpose (teasing, tickling, etc.), I don’t understand how people could treat others like that.

Watching with concern, but also cheering on the courageously defiant spirit of Korean people. #계엄철폐

Back to bare faced. 👶🏻

I had a horrible experience with Sophie Hahn in 2019 when she was a Berkeley city council member and she physically backed me up against a wall and chastised me because I had publicly called for the neighborhood to stop going by “Gourmet Ghetto.” “Bully” would have been an accurate description.

Here’s another potentially unpopular opinion of mine. If you want to criticize something, you have two valid options:

Unpopular opinion: There’s nothing wrong with the Jaguar brand refresh but people sure are having a lot of fun dunking on it publicly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rewatched the whole original Lord of the Rings trilogy this week, and since these movies are 20 years old, I was wondering: What does the fandom consider a one the flaws with these movies, especially as an adaptation of the books? #LOTR

Is there a writer and/or social commentator out there who delves into extreme individualism as destructive to a healthy society? Would love some recommendations because I personally think it’s the biggest problem in America that I never hear anyone else talk about very much.

Unpopular opinion: If the tv show or movie people say they’re shattering stereotypes, they’re definitely not shattering stereotypes.

If you experience marginalization in American society, the marginalization is not the unusual part. The unusual part is that some people don't experience it.

Everybody, before today: I don’t think I like boxing. Everybody at 10pm CST: Maybe I love boxing? #SerranoTaylor Everybody at 11pm CST: Oh I definitely hate boxing. #TysonPaul

The only fight I’m taking on against someone half my age is on @fortnite-game.bsky.social

I love this tshirt I worked with the incredible @steveconley.bsky.social to design for a barista competition I hosted 18 years ago. It’s a transformer robot espresso machine, complete with an espresso grinder doggie sidekick!

NYC: Anyone aware of podcasting, media, and/or journalism internships hiring for the spring 2025 semester? For a college senior with a lot of relevant skills and a healthy amount of relevant experience?

So after a lifetime of pin-straight hair, I saw Bong Joon-Ho and was inspired to start getting perms in 2020. This year, I was inspired again to change things up by Chef Edward Lee with his facial hair and now I’m here. What do you think? I want to know. 🥰🫰🏽

The entire concept of being an “ally” exists because we’re normally not.

Liziqi back on YouTube today feels either like some sort of response to Trump or a protest of John Krasinski being People Magazine’s SMA, but not both. youtube.com/@cnliziqi

What’s “body count?” #YourKoreanDad

Some people seem to think of me as a role model, and being Korean makes me part of a minority, but I’m definitely not a model minority.

Three weeks later, I went back to the iPhone. I wanted a fresh phone experience but being a content creator who posts to social from my phone, I came up against the fact that apps simply aren’t optimized for Android as well as for iOS. Anyone wanna buy a Galaxy Z Fold 6? Lightly used! 😬
