Being at MIIS has brought access to some amazing classes. In one of my classes, we had to analyze material involving a North Korean missile launch.

My group finished early so I decided to add better music. Note: I did not edit the video itself, that’s the DPRK Propaganda team doing the slo-mo.

"In its current degraded state, the DOJ is purely reactive, capable only of defending the policies of an aging demagogue and targeting his enemies for retribution. In short, Bondi presides over a department of weaponization and nothing else." — @lizdye.bsky.social
Pam Bondi is breaking the DOJ
And will take generations to put it back together.

Taking a break from my social media break to mourn the loss of Andrea Gibson. Andrea was a dear mentor and friend in my early years writing poetry. While I’m still overwhelmed by this loss, I encourage everyone to donate to cancer research, especially as our government cuts funding. Link in comments

Amidst all the craziness of what’s happening in the US, I just found out one of my greatest influences and mentors, อ. / Professor Paul Chambers has had an arrest warrant issued under the lèse-majesté laws in Thailand.

When will we stop persecuting science? When will we stop prosecuting facts??

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

2024 (and now it seems 2025) seems to be the year of the anti-incumbent. Both left and right wing governments across the world are losing as everyone demands “change.”

This is a dangerous time for parliamentary resiliency to be tested. Wishing Canada well.

Having written extensively on the critical role that Thailand plays as a US ally in Asia, this is deeply unsettling stuff to see. Losing any allies is dangerous. Losing Thailand of any NATO ally like Turkey puts us on the precipice of even greater existential risks
The Trump Prism on Allies

1. This is definitely an attmpted coup d'etat. Yoon should go to prison for the rest of his life.
2. Allowing state media (Yonhap) to report on your crimes is not coup d'etat best practice.

Yoon is a fool.
