Nerdettes Finest: Negin Farsad

Published: May 25, 2018, 5:01 a.m.

If you\u2019re looking for a way to combat the online trolls and bots fomenting unrest in the U.S., comedian Negin Farsad might have a solution for you. It\u2019s a philosophy she calls \u201cBeing aggressively delightful.\u201d You might think that sounds exhausting, but Farsad says not so!

\n

\u201cI also think rage is exhausting,\u201d she told us in February 2018. \u201cI might think rage is more exhausting than trying to be friends with people.\u201d

\n

It\u2019s genius I tell you!
