My latest for the Guardian, on South Korea's only master of traditional aged soy sauce. Ki Soon-do preserves a 370-year family tradition while Korean jang-making culture receives UNESCO recognition. Where patience isn't just a virtue. It's an essential ingredient. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

The Empire State Building lit up in pink, yellow, white, and blue to celebrate the release of JIN’s ‘Echo.’

What we know as of now: Trump DOJ has arrested an adversarial judge, brought charges against a Democratic member of Congress, and now is investigating a Democratic candidate for mayor of NYC.

Rewatching Bon Voyage: New Zealand right now with friends and this Yoongi look is just The Best. :) Meow. #MinYoongi #Yoongi #Suga #BTS

Schadenfreude is a bargain at $5.60 per mile.

Sorry, but this is f***boy energy. #jungkook

Two news stories. A black Congresswoman enters an ICE facility & is charged- no evidence of violence. A white woman enters the Capitol and busts things up & is killed while trespassing. Her family gets $5 million. This Administration is doing it in broad daylight. #Racism #Facism #Resist

No one looks as horrible as Jake Tapper does right now. May his book rot on shelves wherever good people gather.

Dems see the 747 plane scandal as a symbol—and a chance to recreate the ‘culture of corruption’ charge against Republicans that worked so well in the past.

JUST IN: According to exit polls, moderate, pro-EU candidate Nicușor Dan has defeated far-right populist George Simion—a Trump and Putin admirer—in Romania’s presidential runoff

Grabbed this photo of Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s tonight at Cruel World. She absolutely ROCKS and her guitar says it all. ✊🏽

Trump, on the leader of Russia: "Putin is tired of this whole thing and he’s not — he’s not looking good. And he wants to look good” It's hard to imagine a more fundamental misunderstanding. No, Putin is not "tired of the whole thing" - the war is the only thing keeping his economy going

Iran’s Supreme Leader comments on Trump’s trip

BREAKING: A massive explosion from a bomb has destroyed American Reproductive Centers, an IVF and fertility center in Palm Springs, CA. At least one person is dead. Authorities are investigating whether terrorism played a role.

You hang a Dear Leader banner on a federal building and #LordLaser is gonna have something to say about it.

South Korea ex-President Yoon says leaving conservative party in Facebook post - www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

BREAKING: Jacksonville Airport is on fucking fire. The parking garage is engulfed in flames and sources are pointing at a Tesla explosion as the ignition point. You can’t make this shit up.

Particularly a person with multiple Cluster B personality disorders who controls an arsenal of 5,044 thermonuclear warheads.

Yeah ok, but did you hear Biden is old?

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just blocked Trump from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan immigrants without due process—for now. A 7-2 decision. Thomas and Alito dissent. The case is going back to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

✅Clean holding that Trump violated due process ✅Classwide relief for targeted migrants ✅Bristling skepticism that this administration can be trusted to keep its word ✅Frustration that the conservative lower courts failed to intervene Yes, this ruling is a big deal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I love it when the season-long plot lines finally converge

White House now asking if Moody's can be deported.

There’s no denying what is happening. Democracy is dying and fascism is winning. We are letting down all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms, we are losing today… and all of those who follow.

Can’t sleep or you’ll miss something in Korean politics. Kim Mun-soo is back as the candidate after the coup the night before. He will register as the PPP candidate on Sunday, and if the polls are accurate lose overwhelmingly to Lee Jae-myung on June 3 m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN2025...

Go ahead. Elevate them to national fame and make them heroes like you did the Mayor of Newark. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...
