[Feature] North Korean media show signs of change
As mysterious and closed off as is North Korea, the country is second to none when it comes to being vocal on domestic and world affairs.

They cover a wide range of topics -- from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sending birthday greetings to centenarians to the regime’s denouncing of parties with which

[Leonid Bershidsky] Facebook plans to rewire your life -- be afraid.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s manifesto, penned clearly in response to accusations leveled at the social network in the wake of the bitter US election campaign, is a scary, dystopian document. It shows that Facebook -- launched, in Zuckerberg’s own words five years ago, to “extend people’s capacity to build and maintain relationships” -- is turning into something of an extraterritorial state run by a small, unelected government that relies extensively on privately held algorithms for social

[Tulsathit Taptim] A tale of three loose-tongued politicians
One is American. Another is anti-America. The third has just sneaked in and out of America; he and America are strange bedfellows at the moment. But Donald Trump, Rodrigo Duterte and Thaksin Shinawatra have at least one thing in common: Their boasting and provocative comments know no bounds. Trump‘s “race to the bottom,” as his opponents term it, is in full throttle, although as far as he is concerned there is no bottom in sight. His political incorrectness is testing everyone’s limits with each

[Jose Ma. Montelibano] The Duterte effect on 91% approval ratings
Would you believe it has only been two months into the Duterte presidency? From the fast, furious, loud and graphic news and exchanges that have captured our attention, you would think the Duterte government had been in place for a few years. This tells us of the ripeness of the moment for change, not the usual kind that we take for granted, but change that needs to erupt from almost nowhere. This also speaks of the character of a man handpicked by destiny more than by personal ambition.Destined
