It's the year 2025 and my memoir is still called "White People Explain RRR to Me"

How are pistachios and the privatization of water in California related, you ask? www.truthdig.com/articles/mee...

I'd crip walk to the diss track against my ex too

People who have never applied for a visa in their lives, having strong opinions on visas and visa holders and visa processes, is embarrassing (for them) and hilarious (for not them).

Went on Pop Culture Happy Hour to talk about Bob Dylan and, surprising zero people, spoke a lot about Joan Baez www.npr.org/2024/12/27/1...

Very happy with the fortuitous timing of my chat with Brett and Stephen, the filmmakers of Union, the documentary on the Amazon Labor Union that just got shortlisted for the Oscars www.truthdig.com/articles/the...

I had an MRI today where they played me the music I wanted and an EEG where they asked me to sleep for an hour. It was beautiful.

When your job isn’t really work…what a blessing! I truly enjoyed #Studio2’s holiday themed On the Road live event. It was all about holiday films - and my co-host @avi-wa.bsky.social and I had a ball. Thanks panelists @bedatri.bsky.social and @dhm.bsky.social! Listen 12/24 at noon on 90.9FM.

I watched 'A Complete Unknown' with Timothée's mum. Yeah

Another year of Spotify Wrapped. Adele's "Go Easy on Me" and "White noise for sleeping" continue to be my top tracks

For years we have awarded the journalists who have gone "undercover", learnt the language (in most cases, Arabic). Dilan Gohill was doing his job and he did it well. We cant expect "on the scene" reportage and then see it being criminalised. www.cjr.org/getting-the-...

To the person who yelled 'This is the men's room' to me in an all-gender loo, 'You'll be ok'

Nope. Back in India, it was Madhuri Dixit fake coughing into it as a sign of flirtation in Hum Apke Hain Kaun!

The unbearable lightness of being (when hitting send on a piece to an editor).

Very glad to have chatted with @ronanfarrow.bsky.social and Matthew O'Neill about "Surveilled" that's now streaming on HBO www.truthdig.com/articles/beh...

A reminder for those who need it: "It’s impossible to use a half loop top stitching on low viscosity rayon. It would snag the fabric."

Here's how you can follow my brilliant coworkers and the work they do
