This week marks the 25th anniversary of Angry Asian Man. I did the math, but it doesn't make sense! 25 years ago, I could not have known where the blog would take me. But thanks for being on this journey with me. Stay Angry. blog.angryasianman.com/2026/02/twenty-five-angry-years.html

Had an amazing time at the New York premiere of BEAM ME UP, SULU. Caught up with Uncle George and had the honor of moderating the Q&A with filmmakers Timour Gregory and Sasha Schneider. Check it out on digital platforms on February 17!

Got my @angryasianman.bsky.social "Stay Angry" sweatshirt yesterday. It's SO soft. Which is ironic because it goes so hard.

In 1985, a young Trekkie named Stan Woo asked George Takei if he would d star in his low budget Star Trek fan film. Surprisingly, George said yes. Nearly 40 years later, the documentary BEAM ME UP SULU unearths this lost film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtqX...

They Call Us Bruce: They Call Us Culinary Monster (Chef Hasung Lee)

On the latest They Call Us Bruce, we welcome chef Hasung Lee -- you might know him better as "Culinary Monster" from season two of Netflix's CULINARY CLASS WARS. We geek out quite a bit as fans of the show (WARNING: spoilers). Really enjoyed this one: theycallusbruce.libsyn.com/they-call-us...

I’ve actually gotten some feedback that some sizes fit a bit snugger than standard. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ So I suppose your mileage may vary.

Anyway I’m going to a local anti-ICE protest today because it feels like my body is actually screaming at me to get my ass out and physically do something, anything instead of feeling the helplessness and despair like I felt in the bulk of 2025. I’ve circled back around to do-not-fuck-with-me fury.

None of this, particularly the callous conservative doubling, tripling down on justifying murder, should be surprising behavior for the party who unabashedly ran on β€œMASS DEPORTATIONS NOW.” And yet it’s still so infuriating for me in real time.
