Finally, the wheels are coming off Thailand's infamous "Temple of Doom," with its abbot's resignation and the overdue burial of AIDS victims who helped generate so many donations. It took the Thai authorities long enough. I wrote this expose in 2008. https://t.co/DGODzSZJrV
The controversial Wat Phra Bat Nam Phu in Lop Buri was on Thursday ordered to cremate 20 bodies of AIDS victims that had been preserved for decades and displayed for temple visitors as part of “dharma learning.” #General

Trump's call for 100% tariffs on foreign films reminded me of this recent scene outside Reuters office in London's Canary Wharf district, which - with a few well-placed cars and fake steam vents - was transformed into a New York City block for a movie.

RFA does amazing reporting in the most difficult conditions in this region - especially Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia. We rely on them a lot - this is a real blow to us, to transparency accountability in Asia, to keeping people informed about what’s really going on. Very sad.
🧵 (1/3) The federal grants that fund Radio Free Asia and partner networks were terminated Saturday morning, according to a grant termination notice received by RFA. https://t.co/OQFjgZgpTj

Fascinating investigation by @Journotopia @jasonszep & @LindaSoReports on Onlyfans chatters. As I mentioned to @Journotopia, OF creators provide digital content to consumers & practices such as allowing others to impersonate them can be misleading and against EU (& UK) law.
Porn star impersonators called chatters play a key role on OnlyFans, deceiving customers and posing legal risks to the platform, @Reuters found https://t.co/EXTR4xMLph

I've spoken with a senior officer from Myanmar's military who went AWOL just two months ago. As an army major — a signals officer, working around colonels and generals — he has insight into the regime's thinking. Here's what he told me. (1/x) https://t.co/4m9gRB1T6h

It's hard to overstate the fear and rage that the Myanmar junta's draft is generating. Huge numbers of people fleeing to Thailand. Others taking their own lives. I opened Instagram this morning and saw a local junta official shot dead off his bike for administering the draft.

“A company saw me being raped and they made money off of it.” The dark side of the @OnlyFans boom. Some people say nonconsensual porn on the site nearly destroyed their lives. https://t.co/G5sa3OjT4q My latest w @Reuters colleagues @Journotopia @jasonszep
