Coming soon via Routledge. A book chapter on #PressFreedom in #Japan with norm entrepreneurship as a potential remedy—a much-deserved early tip of the cap to the great legal mind, Harold Koh.

Addicted to cheap, pocket-sized books of classic #poetry. I got this tiny #Byron volume for next to nothing.

Also, I was interviewed in April by a @oglobo.globo.com from #Brazil on #Thailand's soft power, particularly in cinema and television.

Dr. Paul Chambers, a renowned Thai studies scholar and American citizen was arrested and charged under Article 112 of #Thailand’s Constitution for #lesemajeste and for violation of its Computer Crimes Act. Join me in calling for his release!

I wouldn't call that Nazi stuff fake. It's not like he accidentally gave TWO huge salutes in that fashion. It was intentional and catering to a very specific audience.

Funny how #ElonMusk banned the original link because @therickwilson.bsky.social had his account suspended for writing and posting this article. So much for free speech "absolutism". What a whiny little brat. #Nazis

Damn. Is this what we call winning? Check out the immediate impacts of the Trump Presidency: a revised U.S. GDP prediction swing of 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a one week! Make America Poor Again!

An invigorating and wide-ranging last roundtable at #SWPACA25 with some distinguished colleagues. I discussed the #Rohingya in #Myanmar, while questions surrounded issues of #homelessness.

Great paper presentation by @melissawall.bsky.social from Cal State Northridge on #AI news anchors. A relevant topic for our modern, chaotic age. #swpaca25
