@DanGoorevitch @thinkingshivers I don’t know enough about Carson’s work to have an opinion, but at least in Rothko’s case. I think a lot of the disconnect comes from people looking at a picture of a picture. When you see a Rothko in person, it is immediately obviously good.

A 'what's happening and why in Indonesia' for the most rookie of fellow foreigners. I've really aimed to make this as easy to understand because I think it is VERY important for the world to know what this is all about (x sucks, so link below)

@Ike_Saul Just for context this is an upgrade to an agreement that first came into effect in 2010. The major missed opportunity to compete in this arena was backing out of the TPP in Trumps first term.

@Rmanning4 Not that I disagree with you on the problems with our current approach, but is there anything notable here? Vietnam and China announce they will boost trade and investment ties about every six months…

So sorry to hear this! Gwen was an incredible colleague, deeply knowledgeable, smart, and tough.

Extraordinary language from the Singapore Minister of Defense, when Singapore had always been very U.S.-friendly:

"[The US's] image has changed from liberator to great disruptor to a landlord seeking rent."

Here is one way to measure the Trump administration's priorities.

Rubio’s order of meetings/phone calls
1: India
2: Australia
3: Japan
4: Philippines
5: Israel
6: “Rightful President” of Venezuela
7: Canada
8: Indonesia
9: UAE
10: Saudi Arabia
11: South Korea
12: Turkiye
13: NATO
14: Costa Rica
15: Poland
16: Israel (second time)
17: Egypt
18: China
19: Vietnam

Eight with the Indo-Pacific, five with the Middle East, three in the Americas, one with Turkiye, and one with Europe (Poland)

Wasn’t expecting an ASEAN gotcha!

[Acyn @Acyn]

Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN?

Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia

Duckworth: None of those countries are in ASEAN

Journalist Mech Dara's work on scam compounds has saved lives. Many victims in SEA/globally were rescued because of his brave investigative reporting. He should be immediately released. Focus should be on the criminal syndicates engaged in scamming/trafficking.

[Sebastian Strangio @sstrangio]

Awful news. Dara is a fantastic journalist, and has been responsible for a hefty percentage of the reporting on Cambodia's online scamming industry, including its connections to the country's political elite.

@austinkleon Roxanne, Father of the Bride, Shanghai Noon, Young Frankenstein, were all big hits with ours. They also watch a lot of Poirot on BBC and happily sat through all of Gettysburg so they may not be the best sample size.

My comments here in The Guardian report on Paetongtarn's elevation to PM by
@rebeccarat summarizes my thoughts: the grand compromise still holds, but Thaksin's freedom of navigation is being increasingly limited. https://t.co/uAvh3bRmdp

@jaredrfrancis @taysfavcardigan Yes possibly the best single season of any show

@BriggsHatton Anytime you can fit in a Florentine Cavalier you gotta do it. I’m gonna see if I can work one into this memo on Indonesia’s presidential transition

[Anthony Nelson @AnthonyCENelson]

@BriggsHatton Oh, he’d be super good at that

[Anthony Nelson @AnthonyCENelson]

@mlynchhist At 135th Gettysburg, the rebels managed to do Pickett’s Charge at about half real strength(10,000 guys) Watching them come across the field at us was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen, and certainly showed me more than any written account or movie.

@mujaya_ You might want to look up what the particular skill of the man who defeated him, Arthur Wellesley the Duke of Wellington, was.

[Anthony Nelson @AnthonyCENelson]

@craigcalcaterra I mean Cher is genuinely fantastic in Moonstruck.
