Yoon's impeachment proceeding to begin at 4pm local today. If it passes, it goes to the Constitutional Court, which must decide within 180 days whether to support or reject it. (The court plays the role of the U.S. Senate in the American presidential impeachment process.)

Are professional author photos worth it?

My partner is a hobby photographer, so I’m considering using a photo he’s taken. Looking for any and all advice!

I liveskyed the 2024 Martial Law Declaration of Korea.

This is the thread.
According to Korean constitutional law, if martial law is declared in a state of non-war, the National Assembly can vote to make the president stand it down. The National Assembly is gathering now.

We are just now getting footage of inside the National Assembly.

I made plans to go out in Itaewon tomorrow night, and I’m already anxious about getting a cab back to Gangnam.

This weekend, I’m spending 48 hours in Singapore.

If I have time between work events, what’s the one thing I need to see or do?
